I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook.
This is absolutely so cute. I cannot wait to make some of these. My niece and nephew have picked out a pattern that they like and I will do an update as I make one. These would be a perfect gift for Christmas or birthdays or even baby showers. You can also use the head and arms to make lovey blankets for kids/babies also.

I would like to thank Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review
First off, the patterns are really clear and the possibilities are indeed endless, if you mix and match the different heads and bodies that is.
In the first chapter there is a clear list of materials needed followed by a step by step explanation of the different stitches you will have to use in these patterns. With these explanations come a lot of pictures to make sure it is easy to follow for beginners like me. If these aren't enough, there are QR codes included that lead you to a small tutorial. A simple, yet really appreciated detail
The patterns itself contain difficulty levels so that everyone can pick the pattern that suits their level of crochet.
Overall a really great instruction book and I can't wait to try some of these myself!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
Amigurumi Friends is an adorable step by step guide on creating your very own little Amigurumi animals.
The book starts off with the basics of equipment you will need and tips and crocheting steps, then goes on to show you how to create each little animal. There are twenty adorable animals to make, and I really want to make them all. This was a great book with detailed instructions and pictures to accompany each step, but as I received a netgalley shelf version, I couldn't zoom in enough to follow each one and make them. I would definitely recommend getting this in physical form, and I really want to get it in paperback ASAP.

A nice guide to Amigurumi animals. It starts with info on supplies and basic techniques, and then has patterns for heads, 5 body types/poses, and then 20 patterns for animals (the ones shown on the cover). The title is a little misleading in my opinion - yes, you can get 100, but that would be by making each of the 20 animals with each of the 5 bodies. The book does not specifically explain how to take these patterns and turn into additional animals - you would need to work on and figure that out on your own.
I really liked all the step by step instructions and color photos. A good book for someone starting out with Amigurumi, just beware it doesn't cover 100 different animals.

⭐️rating: 5/5
These patterns are adorable! I love how it’s such a simple set up that can make soooo many different variations! I’ve made the bunny so far and I’m obsessed with how well it came out! I’m gonna have to make so many more now!
Full review to come.

This book is exactly what I was looking for to start crocheting for my kids. Absolutely perfect!

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. This is full of beautiful patterns. I like how it gives the instructions for the body shape and then it can be tailored for each individual pattern without the book just being filled with the same pattern over and over. I cannot wait to give some of these a go,

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!
