Adventures in Mochimochi Land

An adorably madcap adventure that inspires readers to create their own world. This quirky knitted picture book takes readers on a tour of Mochimochi Land in three hilarious episodes featuring the zany yet beloved characters that Anna Hrachovec is known for. In the back of the book, and to inspire imaginative storytelling, readers will find complete patterns to knit 25 of the characters.

What do a talking doughnut, a crabby politician, and a lovelorn balloon have in common? They’re all citizens of the candy-colored knitted world known as Mochimochi Land. Adventures in Mochimochi Land started out as a collection of tiny knitted characters, but as the patterns grew they needed an entire world of their own, complete with knitted cities, knitted forests, knitted oceans, and most important, knitted friends! The book follows the adventures of a tiny knitted explorer, as he travels this unbelievably cute world and uncovers its strange yarn-based origins. For intrepid knitters, the book also includes a section with 25 all-new patterns for the characters and props used in the stories. The patterns use small amounts of yarn and beginner-friendly knitting skills and knit up quickly for instant fun.
