Product Description
Product Description
Amigurumi (which means knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of crocheting stuffed animals. The technique results in animals with large heads and small bodies, upholding the super cute aesthetic of amigurumi animals. Jam-packed with four-color photographs of seriously cute dogs, as well as patterns and step-by-step instructions on how to make them, "Ami Ami Dogs: Seriously Cute Crochet" will inspire you to pick up the needle and thread like no other craft project. This book teaches crocheters: basic crocheting techniques (perfect for beginners!); spiral techniques to ensure stuffing will not come out; versatile uses (using thick yarn, each dog is about 3 inches long, suitable for an iPod case; using slender threads, each dog will be 1 inch long, suitable for a cell phone case); and, patterns and detailed directions for 12 kinds of dogs, including: Chihuahua, Welsh Corgi, Shiba, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Miniature Dachshund, Siberian Husky, Labrador Retriever, Maltese, Miniature Schnauzer, French Bulldog, and Beagle Pug.

I have bought many Amigurumi books lately, as I am now addicted to this quick and fun way of crocheting, and this book is the best yet.
At first I was slightly taken aback by the fact that you need to follow the Japanese style patterns, but quickly found that this was easy enough with a little practice.
It has the clearest step by step colour photographs to show exactly what your work should look like of any book I have come across. Every stitch is also very clearly demonstrated and illustrated and the little dogs are just so cute that this book is a 'must have' for any Ami fan. Mitsuki Hoshi is spot on. Buy it!

Great book! Nice photos, the instructions are clear and I want to make nearly all of the projects! Great for people just starting off, and for more advanced readers. The breeds are mainly variations on one design, but this allows for experimentation which unless you are an advanced hooker you might not get with other designs.
Lots of information about the products to use, and how to assemble your own amigurumi dogs. It uses American jargon, so you'll need to convert if you are used to UK.

I have bought this book as a present for my mum as she would like to do some little dogs for her grand- children. She is not very experienced at crochet but she knows the very basic stitches which is what you need to know for this type of work. The patterns are very easy to follow as they are not text-based but little diagrams ( I have the same book in Japanese and I have been working using the same diagrams), and the little dogs are gorgeous.
Very fast and easy to do, I would definetly advise the book for others.

Lovely little book.
This is a gorgeous inspiring book! Not for beginners though! I have been crocheting for years and had a struggle at first to follow the patterns - probably because it is ages since... Read more

Irresistible - even Craft Widower loved it -
UK buyers should know that the hook sizing is in the US format (e.g. 2/0), so you may need to use conversion chart for UK mm equivalents. Read more
