Animal Amigurumi to Crochet: 8 Adorable Designs (Annie's Crochet)

I bought this book to have some easily animal crochet designs to make as gifts when I was very new to amigurumi. Some of the patterns are lovely, I particularly loved the elephant and the bear is cute, but many of the patterns are rather strange. The hippo in particular is a very odd design, and many of the animals look rather depressed, and so I reworked the faces rather than following the directions exactly. The patterns are easy to follow and the instructions clear. A good guide for those just starting to crochet, or new to amigurumi.

Deeply disappointed. Easy to follow to crochet but no instructions on how to assemble animal. Eyes to be put on the incomplete head before finishing....but WHERE? Which end of head is top or bottom? Where does elephants trunk get joined on. I'm lost. Hopeless. Unless you're psychic don't buy this book. I'm an accomplished crsftslady but this beats me! Sorry as was so excited to get my book.

This is a lovely little amigurumi book, well laid out and written with clear instructions (american terminology). I bought this as I have recently joined a craft group that makes crochet and knitted toys for the local hospital. I'm still relatively new to.crochet and a complete novice at amigurumi so wanted something relatively simple as a starting point. All the featured toys in this book are extremely cute so I've no doubts they will be adored by the children they are donated to.

sometimes when I buy craft books I am disappointed with my results compared to the pictures in the book but that was not so this time, my animals looked just like those in the book . Even though the instructions are given are meant for the American market (they use sc instead of dc etc) they were very easy to follow. I suggest having stitch markers and a row counter handy. Buy this book and have fun!!!

Fabulous book, very clear and concise plus an explanation and pictures of stitches needed, as I am a novice this helped me greatly. Already started on the elephant, just 3 legs to go . Highly recommended.

I've made nearly all of the toys. I love them all as do all my friends I've sent them to.The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I've also made them smaller using a finer yarn and smaller hook and they still look just as cute.The photos help inspire fun and play.Definitely recommend this book for toy lovers who like posable crochet animals.

Love these patterns especially the giraffesEasy to follow instructionsFor better results use good quality crochet yarns.

I have a new grandson and wanted to make some uniques gifts for him hence this book, wonderful pictures to go with the patterns. I have made the elephant, it was a little tricky but that's probably due to the fact I have crocheted in a while.Arrived within the stated time, in good condition.The book is better than I expected, glossy and colourful as well as being sturdy.
