Review: Essential book for crocheters! - When I saw that one of my favorite crocheters published a book, I RAN here to pre-order it. I knew that it was going to be comprehensive, easy-to-follow, and unique based on my experience with @allfromjade's previously written patterns. This book not only has a bunch of really cute animal patterns, but she provides many different options for you to customize each doll to be uniquely yours, whether it's choosing a different body design, using different types of yarn, etc. There are step-by-step instructions with clear written descriptions and pictures so that people of all abilities will be able to crochet these little amigurumi plushies. I love how accessible she made this book for people of all skill levels - learning a new skill, like crochet, can be intimidating, after all. I'm so happy that I ordered this book and I'm looking forward to seeing what different types of amigurumi friends I"ll be able to make. (In fact, I already have an order to make 6 different ones for an elementary school teacher to keep in her classroom!) 10/10 would recommend this book if you are a crocheter who wants to make cute amigurumi plushies. Review: Great Instructions - This is a great book of patterns for Amigurumi. Very clear instructions, pictures and access to videos. Such fun gifts! Here are my "friends" so far and working on the Gorilla now. Color combinations are endless. So happy with this book. I will say it might be frustrating at first to a person new to crocheting but once someone has the basic stitches down and how to count them, they will be fine. I have been crocheting since I was a teenager and I am now 73...... Wanted to do another review on this book. Have made many of the critters and this book is just wonderful.......this is my 3rd grouping and just donate them to children's hospital. Keeps my hands busy in Arizona where we do not need afghans......LOL. Many thanks for a great book!

Real, easy to follow patterns and completely customizable if you have the imagination
This pattern book is real, Not AI generated patterns. The pattern instructions are easy to follow and I'm amazed at how many different body types you can put together! Ive only made one animal so far but I Love how customizable all the animals can be. I made the koala for a friend and I used the koala head, the sleeping body pose main body and the legs but I turned the sleeping body upward so the "bum" area was the "belly" area and put the legs on facing forward. I think he came out really cute! Especially considering the koala body type they wanted you to use in the pattern looks nothing like what I ended up creating.

Book arrived defective/deep scratches
The book is beautiful and it is a great investment for any amigurumi maker. Pages of high quality. Lots of pictures etc. Only thing I was upset about is that my book arrived with deep scratches on the back cover. The listing did not state that it is defective and it was not caused by shipping as the book was securely wrapped with multiple layers of bubblewrap. The seller should have stated that they are selling a defective item and then the buyer can decide whether they want to buy it as is.

Livre aux adorables modèles Intermédiaire
20 modèles mais une tonne de combinaison. Ce livre vous permet de faire la peluches en crochet que vous souhaitez, vous choisissez l'animal que vous voulez faire et l'associez à différent éléments comme la position du corps que ça soit couché ou assis par exemple. Cela peut être déstabilisant pour les débutants car ce n'est pas un patron à suivre de A à Z par animal mais une combinaison à choisir. Je le recommande pour les personnes qui ont déjà fait quelques amigurumis avant et pas pour une première fois.
