Product Description
Crochet is not just about ponchos and scarves anymore: it’s about amigurumi, a hip new craft trend! These Japanese-inspired dolls have motivated crocheters everywhere to grab their hooks and create collections of irresistibly funky-cute creatures. Elisabeth Doherty, one of today’s hottest amigurumi designers, is here to show readers how they, too, can get in on the fun. She explains basic and advanced stitches; shows how to make the critters’ forms by crocheting in the round; gives advice on yarns and stuffing; and offers tips on embroidering facial features and embellishments. Start with an easy cupcake, move on to a palm-sized mouse, and work up to the more challenging and spectacular projects, like a punk rock bunny or a beatnik kitty—complete with black turtleneck, beret, and goatee.
About the Author
Elisabeth Doherty received her B.A. In Fine Art from Columbia College and has been at the forefront of developing amigurumi into a fine art form. Her dolls and soft sculptures have been featured in CRAFT magazine and numerous art shows across the United States.

Simple and Fun,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amigurumi!: Super Happy Crochet Cute (Paperback)
I bought this for the cute critters on the cover as I'm making things for a local cat rescue. There's also an adorable upward looking mouse pattern that works for what I need, and a cute Bambi-like deer among the patterns. Nice, simple patterns, clearly written. Not many of them, but what I need.

Pour les amoureux des amigurumis,

This review is from: Amigurumi!: Super Happy Crochet Cute (Paperback)
Je ne connaissais rien au crochet et aux amigurumis avant d'acheter ce livre. Et pourtant maintenant, je sais crocheter. Elisabeth Doherty nous dit tout ce qu'il faut savoir pour concevoir ces créatures anthropomorphes: du type de laine, aux crochets et aux yeux. Elle explique très bien les points de crochets. Puis lorsque l'on a appris tous les points de crochets, on peut faire tout les modèles qu'elle nous propose en commençant par le niveau débutant jusqu'à avancé : il y a une carotte, des biscuits, une fraise, des cupcakes, une souris, un chien, un faon puis quatres merveilleuses créatures anthropomorphiques.Ce livre est en anglais. Ça serait bien qu'il soit traduit pour les francophones parce que c'est un livre très inspirant.

Really Unique!,
By Tiana (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amigurumi!: Super Happy Crochet Cute (Paperback)
If you want a Unique pattern book then look no further! This book has introduced me to new techniques that i can carry into other patterns. There are a few errors in the patterns in this book but they are easy to spot and figure out if you have been crocheting for a while. I don't really get the dead fish but i do love the Hamburger!! haha
