In "Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi", toy knits designer Anna Hrachovec presents more than 30 super-cute, humorous patterns for miniature toys, plus techniques for tiny knitting; ideas for using the tiny knits as wearables, decorations and gifts; and instructions on how to convert a pattern for a tiny project into a bigger toy.
About the Author
Anna Hrachovec launched Mochimochi Land (mochimochiland.com), a website and brand of knitted toy patterns, in early 2007. To design her toys, Anna draws inspiration from Japanese kawaii (cute) culture and children's illustrators such as Dr. Seuss. Her original knitted creations have been featured on The Martha Stewart Show and have been exhibited in galleries in New York, Seattle, San Francisco and Tokyo. In addition to her website, Anna maintains a blog (mochimochiland.com/weblog) and a Ravelry group for her fans (Mochimochi Land Lovers). Anna's first book of knitted toy patterns, Knitting Mochimochi, was published in 2010.

This review is from: Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi: More Than 40 Itty-Bitty Minis to Knit, Wear, and Give (Paperback)
I just got this yesterday and I love it! I have her other bookKnitting Mochimochi: 20 Super-Cute Strange Designs for Knitted Amigurumi and they are both wonderful. This one has designs that are way tinier, though! It's so worth it. Her designs are adorable, well-done, and just too cute. The book itself is clever and visually pleasing, the directions are simple, and there are a lot of how-to pictures. I wish she had more books out!

More fun, easy to follow patterns, Aug 20 2011

I was so excited when I heard another Mochimochi Land book was being released, I preordered it, and I'm not disappointed. It's worth mentioning - because some people might not feel the same about it as I do - but some of the patterns in the book have been released previously in PDFs. I don't mind that at all, it gives me a hard copy of some patterns I already had in PDF form, along with new patterns.There are plenty of new patterns too. I decided to knit the tiny mermaid first, and was surprised how quick and easy it was to knit. It had been a little while since I last knit a Mochimochi Land pattern (been busy with other things) so I had forgotten just how fun these little things are to make. One of my favorite things about Anna Hrachovec's patterns is how clear the instructions are, even for things like detail embroidery, and it's nice the instructions in this book are in keeping with that. Definitely recommend this book :)

So much cuteness!, Sep 4 2011

I love this book! I've already made five little toys, and have countless requests pouring in :) Well written, good illustrations, and it includes all the little basics and background knowledge for the beginning knitter. The patterns are easy, if a little fiddly (but that is to be expected when working on something so small...) and they take such a small amount of yarn and time. There are so many cute patterns! This book has rocketed to my favorite knitting book in the couple of weeks I have owned it!
Listmania!
