Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Amigurumi

by Tomoko Takamori

Kyuuto! = Cute!Savvy crafters know that today's hippest designs hail from Japan. But it's near to impossible to find translated patterns. Or at least it used to be. With Amigurumi, we're proud to present the one of the first two books in our brand new Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts line. Amigurumi features small knit and crocheted creatures so cute you could cry. This book enjoyed huge success on its home shores. The pages burst with quirky color photographs, step-by-step directions, and helpful technical illustrations. At last, the appeal of authentic Japanese content with the ease of English instruction. Stay tuned for more in coming seasons!

This book has loads of great easy patterns for beginners to crochet. My only issue with it was that it marketed itself as being good for someone who had never crocheted before - that was not the case!! Even though the patterns themselves are very easy, the instructions on how to crochet were very confusing.

This book was my first contact with the world of Amigurumi. Tiny little figures crocheted from yarn. They are so cute and so much fun to make, plus they don't take up as much room as knitting large teddy bears.

Purchased this book used as I was on a crochet book buying spree. I'm glad I got it for the price I paid. No patterns proved amazing to me like other books I've seen and you can get much nicer and cuter patterns online.

Amigurumi serves up patterns for all kinds of adorable crocheted animals. And even if you’re new to crocheting, you’ll have fun making these fluffy little friends from the Far East.

There are much better amigurumi books out there. I wasn't a fan of the patterns or how they were written. Nothing stood out to me.

Once again I purchased this because I was obsessed with amigurumi at the time and there weren't very many books out there.
