"Amigurumi for Beginners is the perfect first crochet book for yarn
artists. Even if you have never picked up a hook, this book will
set you on the path to mastering (and loving) crochet. Julia does a
brilliant job of teaching the basics of crochet, including finding
tools, and basic stitches. Then she helps budding artists use their
new skills to create adorable plushies as their very first
projects. If you have always wanted to crochet critters, this book
will be your guide." --Kati Brown, professional amigurumi crochet
artist & designer
"Creating amigurumi can feel so intimidating, but Julia has taken
her years of experience as an ami designer and made it possible for
even beginning crocheters to whip up adorable crocheted creatures.
With clear instructions and photo tutorials, Amigurumi for
Beginners will have you hooking up a menagerie, saying, 'look what
I made, ' and impressing your friends in no time." --Pamela Grice,
Crochet CEO, founder of Crochetpreneur(R) and designer at Made with
a Twist
"I'm in love with the book and highly recommend it for amigurumi
beginners for a few reasons: 1) You can learn to crochet amigurumi
from scratch with Julia's easy-to-follow and very detailed
step-by-step instructions. 2) So many special techniques are there
to help you master your amigurumi skills while crocheting easy and
cute amigurumi creatures. 3) There are so many options of animals
in the book to crochet, and you'll also learn the basic knowledge
of forming the shapes that structure the toys so that you can
explore deeper in this art after finishing the book! This is a
great option to start your journey of making amigurumi!" --Joy Pham
