Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi: More Than 40 Itty-Bitty Minis to Knit, Wear, and Give

I had the good fortune to take a class from the author and she showed us an advance copy of the book. I bought it the day it came out and love it. The author explains well and includes a lot of detail. The photos are very clear and make completing the projects easier. I am just an intermediate knitter and have made three projects successfully. The projects in the book are varied and very cute.The projects were given as gifts (one made into a ring, one an ornament, and one for a dollhouse) and were fun to give. The recipients were all very pleased. Knitting tinies is a fun break from large projects and they make really good gifts. They are charming and make people feel special, but take surprisingly little time to knit.

I love all of Anna's patterns, I only keep wishing there were more of them. These are so much fun to knit up and make great little gifts, especially if you can personalize them. I had the wonderful experience of getting to take a little workshop with Anna about a year ago, and I've been hooked on her patterns since!!If you are looking for something to knit, note that some of these little things are a little fiddly (I mean the whole things are only 2" big, so what do you expect?!), and you definitely need to be an intermediate knitter to knit this tiny in the round with tons of increases and decreases, etc. It is totally worth it and they are beautifully and clearly written, but if you are a beginner, you might want to start with something a little simpler.

I ordered the digital version of this book and I absolutely love it! I've only had it a little over a week and have already knitted 4 items! All of them are cute, quick to knit, and a perfect way to use up little bits of yarn.The book calls for fingering weight yarn and also lets you know you can knit them at other gauges. I knitted most of my projects at worsted weight - so adorable!So far I've knitted the mermaid (love the seashell bikini top), the fish with bubbles, and some cupcakes.Thanks for all the clever knitting ideas!

I own Anna's first book "Knitting Mochimochi" So I bought this out of loyalty to her cute, Japanese-Esq, anthropomorphic style. Definitely a hit! Everything is super fun and adorable. Not to mention most of these tiny knits take about an hour or so to knit them up. Great for making little gifts or magnets or what-have-you. I definitely recommend this to any knitter interested in Amigurumi, even if you have never knitted before she teaches you in a very simple way so you can be making little toys in no time. Love it!

Pretty easy to follow the patterns. You can make the items bigger in size by just using bigger needles. Nice pictures showing the items in color

The patterns are creative and cute. I am between a beginner and intermediate knitter so using tiny yarn and needles was difficult, but with some practice I think it will come easy. The first few rows were really difficult for me, but it came easier once I got past those rows. Don't quit if the first rows are hard! It may be annoying to retry many times but it's worth it once you finally get past it. I would also recommend checking the mochimochi site, they have many more patterns available there, in both mini and normal sizes, as well as kits.

I love this book! I've already made five little toys, and have countless requests pouring in :) Well written, good illustrations, and it includes all the little basics and background knowledge for the beginning knitter. The patterns are easy, if a little fiddly (but that is to be expected when working on something so small...) and they take such a small amount of yarn and time. There are so many cute patterns! This book has rocketed to my favorite knitting book in the couple of weeks I have owned it!

If you want some insta-gratification for your next knitting project, get this book! Almost all the patterns in this book can be completed in a couple to a few hours with just a little sock weight yarn. Instructions are clear so there's none of those staring-at-the-needles-and-yarn-like-a-confused-labradoodle moments.Also, the author maintains a great website with additional tips and super-deluxo-awesome patterns.

For all those tiny whatsits, this book is perfect for mindless, ridiculous knitting. Love it.Book was in excellent shape when I received it!

Full disclosure, I love using Double Pointed Needles and all these patterns are made in the round, with some parts worked back and forth on DPNs.I saw some of Anna Hrachovec's patterns on Ravelry and had to make them, they're adorable! She has some free patterns on her website, so I made them first and fell in love with how simple they ended up being. So I bought this book with some christmas money. I've been using it, on and off, since 2016 and I keep coming back to it to whip something up in about two or three hours. (And I am not a fast knitter!)The patterns are nicely laid out in categories, with the actual instructions written with each row as it's own paragraph or multiple rows written like: row 6-10: work stockinette. I find it easy to keep my place with a bookmark or sticky note. The text is clear, but small, (I estimate it at 10 or 11 in font size), so bear that in mind if small text is hard for you to read. It's sans serif.I honestly believe that an adventurous beginning knitter would find this book really fun. You'd have to have the basics of knitting, but you could learn to knit in the round using these patterns. Because there's only a few stitches, you can get a lot of practice for a small amount of yarn. You don't really need to worry too much about matching gauge, just use a needle that's one size smaller than the size on the yarn band. I've made most of mine using DK and 2.5mm needles, even though the pattern calls for sock weight or 4 ply.What I think makes this book great for beginners and advanced knitters alike is that the patterns are so quick to finish. It's a real gem for that completed project satisfaction. And the finished objects make such great gifts! I've already modified a lot of the ideas I found in this book for other tiny knits. Highly recommended.

Es macht total Spaß, diese süßen Kleinigkeiten zu stricken. Die einzelnen Schritte sind gut verständlich beschrieben und bebildert. - Innerhalb kürzester Zeit hat man so nette Deko oder niedliche kleine Geschenkchen.

Ci ha messo molto tempo ad arrivare ma adesso tutto ok. Il libro è arrivato in perfette condizioni ed è pieno di idee e creatività.

Can't stop making all the itty bitties! 😊
