Crochet Cafe

My daughter begged me to make the “Chinese takeout box” from this book for her. Instructions are clear and there are lots and lots of photos. And there are so many patterns! This would be perfect for either beginners or advanced crocheters. A perfect gift would be this book plus an assortment of worsted weight yarn in multiple colors

Perfect amigurumi book. The patterns are clear and easy to follow. I love the pictures, and the presentation of each cafe crochet food recipe item. There are so many patterns/recipes to make; there will be a choice for ever style and taste! Bon appetite!!!!!

Love this book! So many fun ideas and easy to follow

This book is adorable. I have been crocheting for over 30 years and didnt know i needed bacon and avocado toast in my life. I have two young grandchildren who are so interested in play food. This is a great gift and has tons of patterns.

Patterns are easy to read, esp since I’m left handed. I was able to convert so I could crochet left handed. I made several patterns for my niece for her play kitchen. She really enjoyed them.

I received this book as a gift two years ago for Christmas, and thought it would make a nice gift for someone else so I bought another copy. Both are in the above photo to compare. The more vibrate colored book is the older copy for two years ago, which is interesting that the color quality has decreased with its most recent print run. It’s not noticeable if you don’t have both side by side. The books also have this weird brown smudge mark above the title. It’s on both copies so it’s clearly meant to be there, but also just seems like a dirt smudge got on the design somehow and was never fixed. This is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it really looks out of place. It’s still a beautiful book with a lot of fun crochet patterns to make that are easy to follow for beginners with a handful of more challenging pieces sprinkled in. It’s a great value for some very fun patterns. If you’re someone who love food and crochet I would recommend getting this book.

This is the cutest crochet book you will ever see! Even if you don’t know how to crochet you will find yourself looking through the book just because everything in it is so adorable you can’t hardly stand it! I taught myself to crochet via YouTube and different websites and started very basic before I tried any of these patterns. Within a few weeks, with a lot of persistence, I learned the basics. Got bored making swatches of various basic stitches and decided to try a pattern in this book. Even for a beginner such as myself it was fairly easy, though not without some frustrations. I’ve worked on a few of these patterns and I wish there were some video tutorial links for difficult ones…hot dog bun I’m lookin at you! With that being said I also wish the author had a website for this book. I’ve had a lot of beginner questions so more detailed info would be nice however I was able to get answers elsewhere. One other nice touch would have been a listed skill level or rank of difficulty for each pattern. But, the more practice I get the better I’m getting at this. I can see why amigurumi is good for beginners (after learning the important basics) and this book will not disappoint!

Love this author’s books they are so beautiful easy to read and understand. This is the second book I have purchased and I will be buying more highly recommend. This book makes it easy to understand and read abbreviations for crocheting. I am a beginner and this is so helpful.

13 year old Daughter loved it

I absolutely LOVE this book! It was the first book I bought to learn how to crochet and now am officially addicted to making amigurumi. Bought a 2nd copy for my niece recently, who wanted to learn. The step by step pictures and instructions is ideal for any beginner and the patterns are super cute for all levels. The only negative is that the book isn't bound well at all. It will start falling apart pretty quickly even with gentle use. I still give this book 5 stars because of it's instructional simplicity, clear pictures and easy to follow directions that literally got me "hooked." I'll just tape the book as it continues to fall apart. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn on their own.

Muy lindo libro lleno de fotografías para explicar pasos y tips. Al inicio explica los nudos básicos (si es que se es absolutamente principiante) con montón de fotos de buen tamaño. Los patrones son bastante sencillos, eventualmente se siente repetitivo, pero no es nada malo, así es el mundo amigurumi. El libro como objeto está bastante bien hecho. Me gusta que por el tipo de costura abre y se queda casi plano, así que no hay que estarse peleando para mantenerlo abierto en lo que sigues el patrón. Al tener muchas hojas impresas con grandes plastas de color, estas se pegan por la gran cantidad de tinta y también huele mucho a la misma. Podría ser algo que a mi no me hubiera importado pero al estar embarazada y tener un olfato tan sensible en estos momentos fue lo único que me llamó la atención. Una vez más, es algo trivial pero igual si son de olfato sensible solo déjenlo airear un poco porque no le quita lo divino al libro. Ya hice un montón de figuras y regalado muchas porque las ven y les encanta. Extra: Yo utilizaría una hilaza más gruesa que la Abuelita para agrandar el tamaño de las piezas.

O livro é fantástico, mesmo estando em inglês a autora dá dicas através das cores, as fotos, não tem gráficos ,contém muitas fotos. Achei interessante a forma da autora em ensinar com facilidade a exercursao das peças. Recomendo por ser prático, inovador e fácil. Obrigado Amazon.

The product is great, but the entire back cover was missing as if it was ripped off.
