Whimsical Stitches: A Modern Makers Book of Amigurumi Crochet Patterns

Whimsical Stitches: A Modern Makers Book of Amigurumi Crochet PatternsI just received my Whimsical Stitches book today and I am stunned at how beautiful it is!!! I love how fun and colorful it is and the fact that there are sooo many gorgeous photos!! I have seen a lot of other Amigurumi books like this and none of them have ever made me smile this much or made me not be able to stop flipping through all the pretty pages and want to make everything all at once because each design is so cute! :)I knew I needed to get this book as soon as Lauren announced that it was in the works on Instagram, and I planned to buy it as a fun splurge to treat myself! When it came in and I could actually hold it in my hands and flip through it, I was soooo excited and delighted because it totally exceeded my expectations!This book has all the info you need to make 25+ super adorable Amigurumi plushies. There are so many tips, step by step photos (to delight the visual learners like me :) ), and thorough, well-organized instructions that whether you've been crocheting for years like me or have only just fallen in love with crochet, you will LOVE this book and get so many fun and therapeutic crochet hours out of it, which is worth every penny! I plan to make the little turtle first because I fell in love with his little face as soon as I saw him! :)Seriously so happy with this book and I can't WAIT to get started on these fun new projects! Who's with me?! Grab your copy of Whimsical Stitches, your yarn, and your hooks and let's make some cute Amigurumi plushies together!(The manufacturer provided a copy for an honest review.

Love this book! It is beautifully illustrated. It is easy to read and understand. The pattern are easy enough for beginners and are so cute. I am so excited to make them all! I will be buying lots more books from this author. Highly recommend.

So happy I made this purchase. I have enjoyed the easy to follow instructions and I broadened my embroidery skills a bit. Every creation made me smile. The detailed materials list was amazing at well with the beautiful pictures.

Very nice crochet book if you like making little foods and animals. I love making the eggs. The stuff in here makes really great gifts for kids, so I think I'll get lots and lots of use out of it! Instructions are clear too. Overall, very nice book! No notes!

I was highly disappointed when my book arrived dirty and with ripped and torn pages but they sent a beautiful replacement quickly so I updated my review. Beautiful book. I would give 5 stars but there are a couple places in the book that aren’t for beginners, as it says. For example, when showing how to do a magic circle the images never show you which end of the yarn is the tail and which goes to the ball of yarn. You will have to check out YouTube for videos to help with things like that. I love the Bella Coco channel. She shows very clearly how to hold/do everything. This is a beautiful book though full of adorable ideas. I’m new to crochet and other than having to watch videos to learn the basics, once I do, these patterns are easy to follow!

This is a great book! Easy to follow and understand.

Fantastic book. Patterns are well written with clear photos which is great for all crochet experience types.

The first one I purchased came damaged, but I was able to exchange for another one very quickly. This was a gift for a granddaughter who is earning to crochet. She loved it. I added colorful yarn and it was the perfect gift.
