Is it the summer of amigurumi plushies? It's starting to feel like it! There have been a bunch of new softie books lately, and
They have packed 30 patterns in this 7" x 9" paperback, perfect for putting in your project bag! The book is broken into 5 sections - starting with an intro filled with great tips and how-tos for amigurumi!
Then, we jump into The Dashing Dogs - where you'll find 10 patterns for 10 different breeds. The list includes a French bulldog, corgi, golden retriever, German shepherd, Yorkshire terrier, doberman, boxer, beagle, poodle, and blue heeler!
Moving on to The Cute Cats, I had to think... do I even know 10 cat breeds? Luckily, Glory does! She's included a Sphynx, Siamese, tabby, ginger, black Bombay, Snowshoe, Burmese, Calico, Persian, and a hairless cat too! Wild!
One of the things I love about Cuddly Crochet Pets is that it doesn't stop with cats and dogs - the more unique pets are included too. There's a guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, ferret, goldfish, axolotl, gecko, worm (genuinely the cutest worm I've ever seen), duck, and parrot!
The patterns themselves are written in a somewhat simplified amigurumi format, in US terms. However, the abbreviations are listed with each pattern, making it super easy to follow along. They are made with a US-H, 5mm crochet hook and Premier Yarns Parfait Chunky, a plush super chunky chenille!
Glory's designs are lovely, straddling the line between cutesy and realistic - they are indeed very cuddly-looking, and you could easily customize them to make them look like your own favorite family members!
If you're into amigurumi or crochet animals, then Cuddly Crochet Pets is sure to keep your hook moving as soon as you add it to your bookshelf!
