With Lapp’s (Crochet Creatures of Myth and Legend) hands-on, creative title, crocheters can enter the magical world of Impkins, introduced in the alternative-universe game Loomian Legacy: Veils of Shadow. This book offers a descriptive table of contents, which can be used as a great and quick reference later. It provides helpful tools—a worksheet to copy and reuse, for example—that crocheters can utilize to determine what their project will look like. There are numerous options to choose from: body styles, tails, horns, clothing, and more. Owing to the tighter and numerous types of stitches used, this title is best for crocheters who have already completed a few beginner projects. Basic knowledge of sewing would also be useful for attaching pieces. The author includes links to a few video tutorials for some of the more intricate techniques. This highly imaginative book offers patterns with a backstory for worldbuilding and cleverly sprinkled hints about caring for the new crocheted critters.
VERDICT Crocheters will truly delight in picking features for their own creations of Impkins.
