A Mini Zoo,
This review is from: Easy Crochet Critters (Leisure Arts #75266) (Vanna's Choice) (Paperback)
_Easy Crochet Critters_ contains 10 patterns; an elephant, hippopotamus, monkey, giraffe, alligator, lion, seal, walrus, snowy owl, and penguin (I would contend that there are actually only nine distinct patterns. The snowy owl and penguin are the same pattern replicated, with beak and color changes). The finished animals range in size from four to eight inches.
While Lion Brand Yarn's website contains countless free amigurumi patterns, there's something extra special about owning a book of patterns with glossy color photos, and not having to print patterns out! This book even features cute extra photos of the animals doing such things as fishing and housework. Probably my favorite thing about them is that, for all but one pattern, the head and neck are one piece. This cuts out the step of sewing the head to the torso piece. There are a lot of things you can do to personalize or adapt the patterns. For example, I made the Emperor penguin in wools, adding an orange band on the chest for a little more resemblance to its genuine counterpart, and felted it. They're tiny enough to create and own the whole zoo!

my daughters first amigurumi book,
By Roxanne Beltran (Montebello, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy Crochet Critters (Leisure Arts #75266) (Vanna's Choice) (Paperback)
My daughter wanted to learn how to crochet little animals, so she did a bit of searching on amazon and this was her first choice.
Upon the book's arrival, she immideately got to work and made a lion for me- I thought it was pretty cute even if it didn't turn out like the picture (how she wanted it to look)! She told me that it was hard to understand at first but then once she followed the instructions of 'what 2sctog means' in the back of the book she was able to understand it easily. Her second animal was a giraffe and it more like the picture. Daughter's testamony: being a beginner your animal will probably not be perfect the first time around. i chose to start making amigurumi with the animal that was a little more tougher than the others, the loin, and the end result of mine was pretty horrible. my mom doesn't think so (being my mom and all). id recommend trying out the hippo or seal first. but be sure to read the tutorial in the back when you don't understand something.
