Review

I loved the wierd and wonderful projects in this book - from the simple eartworm to the tricky hermit crab. The 20 pages of techniques accompaied by step by step phootgraphs, and the very detailed line-by-line instructions are invaluable. Start your spring knitting with he perfect antidote to those winter woolies! --Waterstones Crafts Newsletter, June, 2009

A MUST HAVE! SO MUCH FUN The patterns are very well written and all the kinks are worked out. The "how too"s are are clearest I've ever read, and her pictures that help explain the pattern are helpful and well integrated. The patterns are fun to knit with a nice variety of difficulty, allowing quick projects, or more involved quick projects, or more for the more accomplished/patient knitter. The simplicity and creativity are remarkable--J Hansen--Wonderfully tangy patterns. Well worth the purchase to get a chance to make these cute toys. Well written instructions every step of the way. --Treadwell--These are a collection of some of Hansi Singh's popular patterns. You can see many pictures of her patterns or buy these patterns individually on etsy.com or ravelry.com. She uses a lot of short row shaping. Excellent patterns that are very true to life. --craftzine, June, 2009; Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Typically they are kooky little animals but they can also be inanimate objects, like vegetables, that are given faces and limbs. This book has 20 knitted designs, including animals and inanimate objects. A knitting basics section will provide instructions for all the techniques needed to make the projects.-- -- --Paradisefibres dot com

Book of The Month! If you love pocket-sized creations but haven't mastered the art of crochet then this book is just what you've been waiting for. It includes all the essential techniques, plus a range of creepy cute critters, veggies and a host of mythical creatures - seriously, who wouldn't want to knit the Loch Ness Monster?! --Let's Knit magazine, July , 2009--Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.

Author Hansi Singh says there's a lack of Amigurami patterns for knitters, and to remebedy this she's bought out this fab book. After all, why should crocehters have all the fun? It's split inot two sections - the first offers detailed instructions for beginners, and the second is packed full of patterns for you to show off your skills. Knit everything from vegetables to insects, Nessie and even a perfectly sculpted earthworm. We promise you'll fall in love with the cute characters, and it won't be long untill you're an obsessed Amigurumi knitter yourself. -- --Knit Today, October, 2009

If you've been longing to knit a cute Japanese-inspired toy but don't croceht, then fret no more because Hansi Singh's book, Amigurami Knits, is just what you've been waiting for. This quirky book includes patterns for sea creatures, garden critters, and vegatables, plus three mythical beasts, giving knitters the opportunity to join in the fun and decorate their enviroment with unusual characters or perhaps give them as gifts. The book is well thoguhg-out and as wella s clear written instructions it inlcudes photos of the mroe complex stages of critter creation. --Simply Knitting, October, 2009

Format:Paperback
There are some fantastic patterns in this book ranging from the simple to the more complex. I've already made the snail and bits of hermit crab and sea star (adapting them for various uses including Christmas decorations!).
The instructions are reasonably clear for the most part, but could do with clearer pictures and more photos of the more complicated directions. This is essentially engineering in wool, and it can be tricky to get your head round exactly what is intended. Pictures of the completed items from other angles would have been useful, for example so that you can clearly see whether the base of the snail is in stocking stitch or reverse stocking stitch so you can work out where the instructions are taking you.
The errors are irritating, however. The last 2 rows of the base of the snail are missing, for example, and this is NOT covered in the errata on the publisher's website. Indeed one of the corrections published is in itself incorrect! Perhaps people writing scathing criticisms of other peoples reviews should check their facts first.
I've tried to contact the author via Ravelry but no response to date and her Etsy shop no longer seems to be in operation.

Half good half bad here -

Many of the patterns here are worthwhile and really inventive, the design and ingenuity is very impressive and if you get to the end, the results are enchanting. Most of the instructions are very well presented and the whole book has a nice friendly feel and lots of information.

However, there are genuine mistakes throughout, and many more places where the instructions are ambiguous or misleading. I'm glad I own it, but my copy is stuffed full of my own notes and corrections on almost every page and this is certainly NOT a book for beginners. I found many of these patterns utterly infuriating, but I have certainly learned alot and improved my knitting through working with this book, at least partly because of the necessity to unravel and work around all the flaws. I wish I could give this a better rating because I love most everything included here and how it's put together, but the mistakes are just too many and too significant.

Great knitting book 13 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book as have been looking everywhere for a knitting book for these small creatures as all I have found so far are crochet.
I am very pleased so far, it is very descriptive, instructions are very easy to understand.
One wordof warning for all you average knitters, these are all knitted either on 3/4 double pointed kneedles or 2 round kneedles. So a bit fiddly but worth it in the end.
I would recommend this book to your average or experienced knitter.

This is a fantastic book and I really think it is underrated on here. I'd only ever knitted half a cardigan and half a scarf before getting bored with them and giving this a go. Read more
