Everything you thought you needed to know about crocheting amigurumi and EVEN MORE!

This book is truly for beginners thru advanced crocheters.“The Essential Guide to Amigurumi” isn’t just an update to June’s original “Complete Idiot’s Guide”, but is an even more comprehensive reference, full of detailed photo tutorials, links to video tutorials, new techniques and methods, patterns to practice your new skills, plus extensive advice and tips on designing your own amigurumi.

I am particularly chuffed to have June’s advanced tips consolidated here, especially those on embroidery, eye placement, texture enhancement with novelty yarns and brushing, sculpting, stabilizing, adding structure, and especially all her tips on doll hair. And I can’t wait to try her new “Crisp Stripes” method for super-smooth color breaks. The mix and match critter and doll patterns will let me practice all my new skills—can’t wait to get started!

Colorful, clear, well organized, easy to understand, the ultimate amigurumi reference. You will not outgrow this book!
