I love this book. I have been eagerly awaiting it's arrival for weeks and now it's here. I have only made one thing so far, the duck, but there are so many beautiful things to choose from I found it hard to decide. It has everything you loved from her previous two books, great pictures, clear instructions and snippets from the author about how the patterns came to be and her girls. If you loved her other books, buy this, you won't be disappointed and if you haven't ever bought one of Ana Paula Rimoli's books, and love crochet and amigurumi then buy all three!!!!

Cute crocheted friends, experience not necessary!
2 May 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the third crochet book by Ana Paula Rimoli that I have purchased and it is just as good as the others. I had never even heard of amigurumi until I spotted Ana's first book "Amigurumi World" a few years ago- it was from that book that I learned to crochet, and since then I have made many, many of the toys featured in her two previous books. Who could resist those sweet yarn toys with their smiling faces?!
This book (like the previous ones) has a helpful, easy-to-follow "Guidelines" section that shows how to complete the stitches required in the patterns. Most of them require little beyond chain and single crochet stitches as well as the ability to crochet in the round, and most are designed to be quick projects of a couple hours or less. Each one requires only small amounts of yarn and other supplies, so they can often be made with leftovers from previous crafting projects. In addition to yarn, you'll need crochet hooks (patterns use G/6, F/5 and E/4 hooks), scraps of felt, a yarn needle, and either plastic safety eyes or bits of felt to sew on for eyes. These little yarn characters make great (and inexpensive) little homemade gifts; they are so cute and they will be enthusiastically received by anybody you give one to!
The patterns are easy to follow and list all steps clearly. Each pattern is accompanied by lovely color photos (often several, showing the completed item from different vantage points) that are super helpful to look at as you make your toys. The patterns all have assembly instructions for joining together the individually crocheted pieces to make the finished project.
This book has patterns for the following-
Hot Dog Set (a hot dog, bun, ketchup & mustard bottles)
Mom & Baby Polar Bear (with hat and fishing pole!)
Garden Friends- snake, mouse and bird
Little Bunny & her carrot home
Sea Friends- jellyfish, cuttlefish, dolphin, and little narwhal
Santiago- a little Boston Terrier (he fits in a crocheted food dish!)
Mom & Baby Duck- they even have apple & bear hats
Little Pig & Mom
Tree Love (a smiley tree with crocheted leaves)
Mom & Baby Koala
Little Strawberry plant
Little kitten & bed
Princess Frog & her water-lily throne (adorable!)
Happy Little Sweet Snacks- flan, hot cocoa, and cake
Little Tugboat
Little babies- tiger, lion, bear and elephant (each about 3" tall)
Mom & Baby Fox
Shy Little Unicorn (so cute!)
If you already like to crochet and make amigurumi, or if you want to give it a try, this is a great book for you!

Great book!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has easy-to-follow instructions on how to make cute amigurumi toys. The only thing that was missing was where to put the eyes, but I just estimated and the toys still looked great (or perhaps I didn't read carefully and missed the instruction for where to put the eyes).

Oh the cuteness!

I love this book. It is filled with patterns for such adorable animals and even some "inanimate" objects such as a wonderful tree. Each pattern has a wonderful description of the "history" of the animal or object. These descriptions gives the book a feeling that it was written just for me.
