I was very impressed with this how-to crochet book on amiguri creations. It offers a variety of skill levels always starting with a level 1, then 2, and 3 so you can either jump to your skill level or work your way up. It also offers ideas and lessons on how to further personalize your creations.

Each step is broken down with photographs, illustrations, and succinctly written instructions along with a QR code to scan if you’d like to watch a brief tutorial. The author then provides a myriad of ideas for things you can make these for such as baby rattles and curtain huggers. She shows you how she makes her patterns so that you can make your own. She is a truly incredible and inspiring artist and teacher who loves her craft as much as she enjoys sharing it with others.

Full of adorable creations, I love the simplicity of the formatting and ability to modify what you are making alongside the instructions.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC of the book.

Amigurumi animals kept popping up on my feed and I couldn’t resist checking out this book to see how hard could it be. This book contains more than 100 animals to create, it gives techniques (not only text but QR codes to watch a video) and stitches as well as shows how to create different various or eyes, cheeks etc, ideas on accessories. Each animal pattern has a difficulty level so the reader could match their skill.

I LOVE the set-up of this book. The idea of providing several different types of body parts that can be mixed and matched based on the makers’ wants and needs is brilliant!

And while this pattern book is very suitable for beginners, it would also be a great staple to use as reference material for more experienced people!

The instructions are very clear and there’s something for every type of crocheter: written instructions, pictures and QR-code links to video tutorials. However you prefer to follow patterns or learn new techniques, this book gives you all the options! On top of that, the animals and creatures in this book are truly adorable!

My only critique would be that the photo-guides use a more non-standard crochet hook with a very chunky handle. It just looks a bit odd and slightly distracts from the instructions.

These little guys are so adorable. I love amigurumi and I will definitely be giving some of these a try. A perfect book for a crafter who either likes a challenge or wants to make someone in their life a cute gift.

This book is great! It has precise and accurate instructions with pictures to help along the way. If you want to learn how to crochet stuffed animals this is the book for you. I can’t wait to make them all! Thank you Jade and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

This book is so easy to follow! And I love how the basic patterns are given, and it shows you have you can alter them in simple ways to make them your own. I can’t wait to try my hand at making my own otter.

A very well thought out and organized crochet book! The patterns are easy to read and follow along with, and the little animals you make are adorable. I really appreciate the difficulty ratings in each pattern, though I would prefere if each section progressed from easiest to hardest.

This is a fabulous crochet book for any level of crafter. I follow Jade's instagram and was thrilled she had a book. The tutorials are easy to follow and teach new techniques along the way. I especially liked the section on how to create your own pattern. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to crochet amigurumi. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC e-read.

The book starts with a nice explanation of yarn types, hook sizes, and the use of stitch markers, safey eyes, stuffing, embroidery floss & sewing pins. It then explains techniques and stitches. Lots of great pictures! Next is Tips & Tricks specific to amigurumi, again with a lot of great pictures! Included are YouTube tutorial QR codes for stitches & techniques. VERY user friendly. I tested to comfirm that they worked. All of that was in the first chapter! It's worth the price of the book even if it had no patterns!

The patterns are clear and complete. The finished figures are adorable!

I'm including my challenge for Kindle people like me.
I couldnt figure out how to access the ebook! After some research I downloaded Adobe Digital Editions on my phone. TOO SMALL TO READ! I started over and downloaded NetGalley & Adobe Digital Editions on my tablet. MUCH BETTER!!! This book was worth the challenge.

This book is amazing! Cute patterns easy to understand. As I am a beginner I find having the videos available very handy as well as the tips and trick page. This book makes it feel very achievable to create some cute little friends taking you step by step through the process. Cannot wait to make heaps.

The pictures are super helpful and I loved how they had QR codes for videos because sometimes I need to see it in action! I also like how they give you some creative freedom with different options for the bodies! The animals included are super cute and I love how they have a section for fantasy creatures! As someone who has only been crocheting for 6 months, this is a great book for beginners and I wish I had this when I started!

This book would have been so helpful when I was first learning amigurumi! It is very detailed with a lot of pictures and links to videos to help with the more difficult stitches. I also appreciate that the instructions show how much yarn was used for each color, for each pattern. I really enjoyed how many options there were to make from a few basic body part shapes! I also found the instructions easy to follow! Would recommend this book to friends who were interested in getting started with amigurumi!

I’m fairly new to crocheting and this book was very cute and concise. The instructions were straight forward and I find myself able to follow along.

I received this DRC from NetGalley.

Good book for beginners. The animals are cute. The shapes used are simple, and the instructions aren't complex. The bodies can be 1 of 5 options, and the heads start with a spherical base. There are several options provided to customize your amigurumi and tips on designing your own. I think this book was well done.

Patterns for 20 cute amigurumi animals, plus separate body patterns that can be mixed and matched to make many more. Also includes basic instructions on how to draft one's own amigurumi patterns, and the shapes needed. The instructions are clear and concise, with many helpful diagrams. Recommended.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

This book is so cute. I love the different ideas but also that you could take the ideas and customize the animals to what you'd like. Different eyes, body's, heads, etc. I think this is a very clever crochet book for both beginners and more advance crocheters, maybe even those who want to start creating their own patterns.

This is a nice addition to a crocheter's library. For someone with the basics already in hand, it opens up a way to create custom or at least customized critters. The instructions are clear and the QR to videos for the basic steps is great. Images are harder to learn from than video for most. Overall the patterns are clear. I wish all of the animals had pictures of all pieces as the first few did. I think that is super helpful. Otherwise a nice book.

Cute and charming. Incredibly detailed photographs, with thoroughly detailed explanations. I appreciate the inclusion of QR codes to videos with further explanation. I also like that there are a few levels of difficulty included. I cannot wait to try making these!

Wow this book is so great! As a beginner at crocheting this had all the instructions and patterns needed to make one of these cute creatures! I made the Triceratops just to confirm the patterns made sense and looked like the pictures. I was blown away!
