\"crochet<\/a><\/div>\n

I’ve created many step-by-step photo and video tutorials that you can use to help you out, if you need it. If you’re a complete beginner, you’ll want to start with the Basics<\/strong> section, then move to Amigurumi Essentials<\/strong>. You can find them all at www.planetjune.com\/help<\/a>.<\/div>\n

\n
\"The<\/a><\/div>\n

I can help you every step of the way to mastering the art of amigurumi through my latest book, The Essential Guide to Amigurumi<\/em><\/a>, which will guide you through step-by-step instructions, tips, and patterns to bring your crocheted toys to life, starting from the absolute basics.<\/div>\n

\n
\"Everyday<\/a><\/div>\n

Or if you’re brand new to crochet (and not just amigurumi) you may prefer to start with my other reference book, Everyday Crochet<\/em><\/a>, which will guide you from the most basic principles of crochet through hundreds of ultra close-up, full colour photos – it’s the best way to learn to crochet short of taking from a personal lesson directly from me (which I’m afraid I can’t offer!)<\/div>\n
