Amigurumi

I borrowed this from my local library but had to get my own copy once I tried some out. Some of the instructions are wrong (like on the robot) but most things crochet up really quick. I make toys for my dog from this book. Cheaper and last longer than the ones at the store.

I took a chance on this book and it was well worth it. I am an international buyer, so English is not my first language but I could follow the instructions with no particular problems. I love almost all of the patterns and will certainly try to make as many as time permits. I also own Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet and if I had to choose, Amigurumi (Cozy) is my favorite. I already made the frog and bunny and got excellent feed back from my daughter and friends. I have not yet found any mistakes and the finished products I made were just like the ones in the book. I was inspired by the book and learned a few basic tricks while making toys, so now I am designing or changing patterns to my liking. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to get started on making amigurumi.

These are some of the cutest amigurumis I've seen. The little creatures all have so much personality. I want to make them all!!

I've made the cubcake, the baby bunny, the puppy, the panda, and now working on the tiger and chick. They are super adorable and are just the right size. They are easy to make, but there are some mistakes in the patterns. For example, this is for part of the chick: Round 1: Dc around. 10 sts Round 2: (2dc into each st. 20 sts) Rounds 3 - 6: Dc around. 10 sts For part of the baby bunny, from 24 sts, it says to 2dc in next dc, dc in next 3 dc = 32 sts. My math says that's 30 sts, not 32 sts. I can usually catch it and either unravel the stitches or make adjustments, but it's definitely disappointing that they didn't take the time to proofread the patterns. Still, the photos are cute and the patterns seem to be arranged from easy to difficult. The book also uses UK crochet terms (double crochet = single crochet). I would still recommend it but would just warn others to watch out for mistakes in the patterns.

Well written patterns, totally cute projects, what's not to love! Have made several already, and making more for Christmas!!!

Very nice and detailed

Very easy to do.

My young cousins want all the animals. Easy to follow directions. They used Brittish terns for single and double, but they are explained

Me gusto

Adoro a coleção que muito me inspira na produção de minhas peças de crochê com a tecnica Amigurumi!

I bought this book when I was still mastering the chain stitch, so I had zero crocheting proficiency. Once I had a rough idea of how to do the basics, this book helped hone the skills and consumed my time (in a good way) with cute projects. It's clear and easy to read, and even has a section with diagrams to instruct on the basic stitches and skills needed to produce the patterns. I can't say whether the guide is great however as any pictoral instruction on crocheting I encountered just baffled me... My only true aid in learning stitches and techniques was youtube. In saying that, when I looked back at the pictures to remind myself of certain stitches, I did find the guide useful. So perhaps I just don't have a good eye for learning by picture!

Das Buch ist wirklich gut. Wie man beim "Blick ins Buch" sehen kann sind viele verschiedene Tiere drin, von klein bis groß, von einfach bis schwer. Es macht wirklich Spaß die Tiere anzuschauen und sich zu überlegen, welches man als erstes anfängt. Ich besitze mehrere Amigurumi Bücher und kann es nur empfehlen. Ein Hinweis: Es werden die englischen Häkelbegriffe verwendet, darauf wird im Buch aber auch eingegangen.

24yr old female. I was a beginner when i brought this - I had crocheted nothing more then a basic headband (rather loosely!) and could only remember the Double stich (dc /sc) off the top of my head along with basic chains. I brought some books so i could complete more projects and found this fine for me to read, follow and understand. So far i've made the dinosaur, panda twice, chicken, fish and hope to make the bunny in the tutu soon. They've all been gifts to others and they've all been received very well. My crochet has improved ten-fold since because ive simply made so many things already and have even wrote a few new patterns myself for my own gifts. So i cant complain! Thanks!
