Knit Your Own Zombie: Over 1,000 Combinations to Rip 'n' Reassemble for Horrifying Results

by Fiona Goble

Join the legions of The Crafting Dead!

From your traditional living-dead moaners to the hard-partying Zombie Rock Star and deliciously evil Zombie Chef, each one of these creatures is easy to knit and hard to kill.

Best of all, every piece of every zombie is held together with Velcro strips and snap fasteners, so there are endless variations of Undead legions to discover. We've included some mashup pages to get you started (including a deadly Zen Yoga Zombie and a Mother of the Bride who would stop any groom dead in his tracks), but once you've got the hang of it, you'll find that making your own mashups is even more fun than knitting the originals.

Wonderful, creative, and funky knit book will definitely spin your imagination. Kind of reminds me of paper dolls in 3-D knitted form. It's fabulous that everything is interchangeable and of the same scale - but, strangely, I never found a height measurement for the finished zombies. I think the only other real question I had is in the Zombie Fatale description (page 40) says the dress is crochet! Waaa? Great styling, good photos with details.

Really cute collection ideas with an assortment of embellishments.

I found this charming from beginning to end, worth the fiddly embroidery and sewing in order to make up these inventive zombies - I am tempted to make each of them; it would be hard to choose just one or two from the nine different patterns.

Picked up in Forbidden Planet, London. Xanthe has already knitted the 10 foot bandage for The Mummy!

Mitäpä tähän voisi enää lisätä? Viisi tähteä, vaikken päässyt edes alkuun näiden kanssa. Kirjaa voisi selata loputtomiin. Tilasin netistä itselleni, jottei tarvitse kirjaston kirjaa enää hautoa.

An unbelievably cute knitting book, well written, the designs are amazing, the photographs are inspiring. I just wish I had the patience to actually, you know, knit the zombies!
