Mini Amigurumi Animals is a delightful crafting guide that introduces readers to the world of tiny crochet creations. The book features 26 adorable amigurumi animals, including a dog, cat, camel, monkey, and rabbit, all designed to be made with minimal yarn. This makes it an accessible project for both seasoned crocheters and beginners who want to use up leftover yarn from their stash. With just a crochet hook and some yarn, you can create these charming figures.

Each animal is designed to be versatile, allowing you to use them in various ways. They can easily be attached to keyrings, bags, or phones, adding a personal touch to everyday items. Additionally, these tiny creatures can serve as playful decorations for baby buggies or as delightful toy figures for dollhouses. The book encourages creativity, inviting crafters to explore different applications for their finished projects.

The step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations make it simple to follow along, ensuring that even those new to amigurumi can successfully create these cute animals. With a wide selection of 26 different designs, crafters will find plenty of options to choose from, making it a perfect gift for animal lovers or anyone looking to add a bit of whimsy to their crafting repertoire. Whether you’re looking for a fun project or a unique way to express your creativity, Mini Amigurumi Animals offers something for everyone.

From the jungle to the forest to the farm to your home, Abbondio's crochet book has crafters' need for cute crochet animals covered. Each of the 26 patterns have clear, easy-to-follow instructions, but American crocheters will have to "translate" the UK crochet terms into U.S. stitches before picking up their hook. Other than that slight hiccup, this book is perfect for crocheters new to amigurumi. The stitches are mostly single crochet with simple increases and decreases. Some design elements, such as the lion’s mane and the cow’s udders, require a slightly more complicated popcorn stitch. Even those who have never worked in the round before or made an adjustable ring will find that Abbondio’s patterns provide a great introduction to that work. Most of the animals share the same basic body pattern, with the giraffe, mouse, panda, and hedgehog standing as the outliers; each of these four has a unique body type. Experienced amigurumi makers will enjoy the cuteness as they quickly whip up these small and delightful creatures. A must-have for all library craft collections.
