Chez Myrtil: More Seamless Toys to Knit and Love by Cinthia Vallet

Step into Myrtil’s house and meet its friendly inhabitants: Frankie the fox and Merle the crocodile are relaxing by the fireplace, while Merri the mole prepares supper. But where have little Didi and Tsutsu run off to? Chez Myrtil: More Seamless Friends to Knit and Love includes patterns for 12 characterful knitted animals and their garments.

Cinthia Vallet’s innovative toy-making technique is entirely seamless, allowing you to watch each little creature come to life in your hands as you knit. This charming book features step-by-step illustrated tutorials that walk you through the entire process.

Chez Myrtil is a wonderful new addition to Cinthia’s enchanting world of little knitted characters, first introduced in Mouche & Friends: Seamless Toys to Knit and Love (2023).

“At the foundation of my work, there is a deep and life-long love for animals: both the real ones who populate our world and those who live in the pages of books.” 

~ Cinthia

Cinthia Vallet is a designer living in Nantes, France, with her husband, four children and furry companions. She is known for her charming, seamlessly knitted toy animals. They started to take shape in her mind after she discovered the magic of seamless knitting, and her first pattern was published in 2018. Cinthia realised that if you can make a sock and shape a heel, then you can also shape a little animal directly on the needles.

With an aesthetic rooted in her passion for children’s literature, Cinthia develops her characters as an illustrator would do, but with wool and three dimensions. She gives each one a name, a story, a little soul and a lot of herself.
