What are Amigurumi, you might ask? They are the cutest little stuffed crochet animals that you will ever meet. The art of crocheting small animals dates back to the Shang Dynast in China. It was brought to Japan around the seventeenth century where it became popular and gained its name. It has become an international phenomenon largely due to social media where people share patterns and techniques.
In Anyone Can Crochet Amigurumi Animals you will get 15 patterns of a variety of these little guys. This book can be for a beginner to intermediate level. Simpson says that it is ideal for beginners because it has step by step instructions, along with progress photographs to help you along the way. There is also a glossary to help you with terms and techniques that you might not be familiar with.
Another plus with amigurumi figures is that you can practice your crochet skills in a small and successful project. Each animal is dressed and has some kind of accessory, the rabbit has a carrot, the hippo with its own little burger (it is a Hungry Hippo!). All of these details will help further your skills as a crocheter. There is even a Tips and Tricks section.
All in all this is a fun book with cute animals. You can make them as a set or gift them individually. They are soft and squishy but very durable lasting through the toughest of toddlers. If you haven’t tried Amigurumi animals, this book would be a good resource. But be careful, once you start, you’ll be “hooked”.… (más)
