Adorable. Easy to follow and beautifully laid out. This is a great addition to my crochet library!!

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this wonderful book!!

This is super adorable. I didn’t make all of the animals, but the patterns seem clear. Unusual stitches are described. For the sewing, there are clear images of the placement for each piece. The heads are crocheted continuously with the body which is much better in my opinion. The opening sections about how to crochet seemed well done. I already know, so it’s hard to judge. The only complaint I have is that the elephant’s trunk starts above the eyes which is a bit odd, but maybe it’s more cutesy that way.

I’m obsessed with crotcheting these cute little plushies since starting a kit from the woobles. Excited to try out the patterns in this book as I advance in this fun craft.

Super cute crochet patterns in an easy to understand format. I love how basics are covered in the first few pages of the book. There are quite a few that I can’t wait to make for Christmas like the flamingo and the narwhal!

This book explains how to crochet several cuty amiguris. At the beginning, there are explanations for basic crochet terms and how to do it with very helpful pictures. I already know how to crochet but these pictures seemed bery explanatory and helpful to visualize. The patterns themselves are explained nicely too in a way that everyone will understand it. I haven't done every bit but the one I did turned out great. I read the patterns for the other ones too, and they were explained great. I can definitely recommed this if you want to learn how to crochet small cute figures that is easy to replicate and make.

Very cute and very cuddly! Easy to follow instructions. I am not new to crochet but I'm not very good at cuddly toys yet! Hope this will help me practise!

What an cute book! The designs in here are absolutely adorable - I love them all. Each animal is bursting with character. There’s a brilliant ‘how to’ intro section on crochet,, making this book suitable even if you’re a beginner. The accompanying sketches give you fantastic visuals for how to complete each stitch. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

I am always on the lookout for easy to make Amigurumi animals. I love to crochet bigger projects so making amigurumi's is always a challenge for me. This book has some great patterns that have a little larger scale for a few of the animals. The patterns are easy to read and well illustrated. Included is an abbreviation chart and illustrated directions. This book is wonderful for beginners that need step by step instructions and help finding the correct yarns and tools. Also a great gift for the crochet fanatic on your gift list.

If you are looking to crochet cute amigurumi animals, this book is for you! With explicit directions and colorful photographs, you will whipping up the cute creatures in no time. The author uses a thicker yarn so these are perfect for baby and children gifts. I think these patterns will be good for a beginner crochet. I’m an intermediate to experienced crochet and I think these will be easy and fun to make. Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of the book. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own

Thought there would be more than 12 designs but they do all look fun to make.

The instructions for the magic ring are so simply drawn and I’ve struggled with them for so long from YouTube videos and this simple diagram has made it look so easy.

The instructions are clear to read and I look forward to making some of them

Can't wait to make them all!

This is a perfect book for amigurumi fan who want bigger creations, but struggle to convert the patterns themselves. Not only are these absolute adorable, but simple, too. Lauren Bergstrom starts the book with easy-to-understand directions, both with what supplies she uses (and why), and detailed descriptions of the different stitches. Not to mention the helpful tips and tricks and embellishment ideas. You don't need to be a master to make these little cuties; I am not an accomplished crocheter, but was able to complete narwhal with ease-- and it looks like a narwhal! I can't wait to make them all.

I received this book as an advanced reader copy from NetGalley.

He conseguido esta copia avanzada gracias a Netgalley. Gracias.
Me ha encantado.
Las explicaciones son claras y los diseños muy originales.
El Octopus es el que más me gustó.

As a long time crocheter and infrequent amigurumi maker, I appreciated that Cute & Cuddly Crochet focused on using super bulky yarn to make larger animals. I also loved the less typical animals included in the book -- the red panda and platypus are so cute!

I made the narwhal and found it a lot easier to do than the typical worsted weight amigurumi. I found the patterns well written. I noticed some of them left specific spaces to attach legs, which would make placement so much easier. The narwhal pattern did not but it did provide row numbers to help with placement, which was great.

I wish the book recommended brands that carried 7mm and 13mm hooks as I was unable to find anywhere that sold a 13mm hook. While the crochet basics section was sufficient for my use given my experience, it would have been useful to see other resources (like videos) listed.

Overall I thought it was a great book and I look forward to making large amigurumi for my kids.

A preliminary read through of the book and I’m very very excited about it. The patterns seem well written, and user-friendly, especially for beginner crocheters. I am an intermediate to experience crochet her at this point and these patterns look like they will be quick to work up. Stay tuned for further feedback as I start to make the Frenchie for my first project.

I am loving the patterns! Easy and fun. I'm an average crochet addict so these are just what I have been need to find. Come have fun and make some delightful creations. Thanks #Netgalley and #WalterFosterPublishing for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

I loved this book! Absolutely adorable patterns, and very easy to read! Perfect for crocheters wanting to expand their style!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review.

this is a nicely informative set of crochet patterns. The instructions and simple and effective and will be easy to follow for any crocheter. I wouldn’t recommend for beginners as some of the patterns are a little more complex. A strange collection of super-sized animals to complete. Some extremely popular and some less so - but still good patterns.

This book was interesting to flip through, but is very much not for beginners. I picked it up because I’m interested in learning crochet and, while I figured the stuffed animals themselves might be beyond beginner level, I thought the “crochet basics” section would be a bit longer and more helpful. This is a great instruction book for folks who already know how to crochet and want to take it to another level. It’s not for me right now, but definitely something I will come back to when I have learned more!

The patterns were easy to read, the diagrams were well illustrated and easy to understand, and the finished products were all very cute. I'll be trying to make some of these myself!

This was a good introduction to crochet critters. Something I'm always looking for for beginner patterns is clear and concise pictures and instructions on how stitches are made and how it is assembled. This was a great blend of that. All of the critters were cute and easy to follow. I personally made the dinosaur to start (he looks like a triceratop) he came together really quickly, I just have to finish sewing up and he's ready for my niece :)
