Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Typically they are kooky little animals but they can also be inanimate objects, like vegetables, that are given faces and limbs. This book will have 20 designs, including animals and inanimate objects. A knitting basics section will provide instructions for all the techniques needed to make the projects. |
Hansi Singh (Seattle, WA) began designing knit amigurumi creatures as playmates for her infant son. Hansigurumi, a shop she opened on Etsy for selling her amigurumi patterns, caught the attention (and needles!) of knitters in the US and abroad, and became an overnight success. Hailed "an amazing up and coming crafter" by CRAFT magazine. |
Really cute projects, much nicer than others I've seen. The errata for the sea star don't help, I'm afraid as the instructions don't add up to 22 sts! Need sto be K9 instead of K10. There also seems to be a row or 2 missing from the snail mantle pattern just before the grafting in order to reduce the stitches to the right number.
