The Essential Guide to Amigurumi is exactly that: it is the most comprehensive guide to amigurumi I have ever seen! This book is perfect for anyone who is a long-time amigurumi-maker or for anyone looking to start their journey. I've been crocheting amigurumi for seven years, and I'm so excited to try using the techniques in this book to level-up my creations and try out some new patterns, and even use the tips mentioned to create my own patterns! I also wish past me had access to this book. The section for beginners has so much key information for anyone starting out. June covers each step in an amigurumi project, from choosing a hook size all the way to finishing and assembly. These are things that are rarely discussed in amigurumi patterns, and I think back to how much I would have benefitted from these clear instructions when I was just a beginner!

June has so much knowledge and expertise in amigurumi, and it is so lovely to have it all in one place. I highly recommend this book for anyone who crochets amigurumi, regardless of their skill level.
