Amigurumi lovers, rejoice! Pattern developer Vindevogel has shared the skills she learned from her grandmother in this accessible, fantastic collection of adorable crochet animals. From a whale in a sailor hat and a karate-kicking pig to a polar bear and reindeer in winter sweaters, each animal has a name and a dash of whimsy. The photos showcase the creations’ unique stories, but this isn’t just a celebration of Vindevogel’s designs: it’s an invitation for people to play around with new techniques, all carefully explained in the pattern and technique notes. With both metric and U.S. measurements, the only thing the book is missing is guidance on sewing each animal together without creating top-heavy wobbliness.
VERDICT Playful yet detailed, the 10 animal friends Vindevogel presents are sure to delight both the crocheter and the recipient of the fun, unfussy creatures, which come to life as easily on the crochet hook as they do in the book.
