Fans of amigurumi will be delighted by the projects in this book by expert crocheter Compotine. The volume offers a treasure trove of sweet, creative toys that would be a welcome addition to any nursery or the toyboxes of children who enjoy playing with dolls and stuffed animals. The projects range from tiny mice and little ladybugs to cuddly teddy bears and adorable dolls wearing strawberry berets, all between 7 and 12 inches high. This detail-oriented book even includes instructions for doll accessories like a flower-power purse and a sweet-as-pie fruit hat. While some of the options might seem fussy for readers accustomed to making stuffed animals, the little details give Compotine’s cuddly toys something extra. Readers will find that each creation has its own whimsical charm, and the patterns are laid out in such a way that they’re easy to follow and customize. For example, experienced crochet artists might choose to mix and match designs or adapt an existing pattern to create a special, one-of-a-kind character.
VERDICT Compotine’s delightful designs for amigurumi toys are easy to personalize, which will make these dolls meaningful keepsakes.
