The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi Review
A Bit About the Author
The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi is Drew's second book, and it debuted in October of 2024! Here's a bit more about our author:
"Drew Hill is an amigurumi designer and fiber arts enthusiast. He learned to knit at the age of 10 and has been passionate about yarn from that moment on. At 17, Drew picked up a crochet hook and has rarely put it down since. After years of crocheting as a hobby, he decided to take things to the next level and opened Drewbie's Zoo, where he sells finished amigurumi and offers both free and premium patterns.
A graduate of the University of Michigan with a BFA in Theatre Design & Production, Drew has worked as a costume designer and has found ways to sneak his fiber crafts into most productions. These days he spends his time in his craft dungeon, experimenting with new patterns. When he's not working, Drew enjoys playing with his golden retriever, Billy, and eating delicious vegan food."
Now let's dive into The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi!
Inside The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi
"After 70 years of singing and dancing and making people happy, The Muppets are ready to tackle their next wacky performance: getting hooked on crochet! With The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi, you can now crochet your own Muppet amigurumi figures, and the whole gang is here – Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Beaker and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Animal, Gonzo, even Pepé the King Prawn and Rizzo the Rat! Each of these fifteen projects is a fully articulated doll, right down to Animal’s wild hair and Kermit’s pointed collar. With easy-to-follow patterns, and some jokes and fun from The Muppets themselves, The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi will have you ready to put on a show with all your favorite characters."
The Muppets Official Crochet Amigurumi is the first book I've been sent for review that had all 3 of my kids excited! They are pretty blasé about yarn stuff after all these years, but The Muppets are beloved by all - we even got a chance to see some of the characters in person at the Jim Henson Exhibit this past weekend!
All Your Favorites Are Here!
So I was super excited to get inside this book, and take a peek at what Drew has made. This is a big, heavy, hardcover book, with thick glossy paper throughout. The photos are large and clear with lots of closeups, and the pattern pages feature large clear print - it's genuinely a joy to peruse and use.
The patterns use a variety of medium/4/worsted-weight acrylic yarns, with safety eyes, stuffing, and a small bit of felt completing most characters. The patterns themselves are written in what I would call "amigurumi style," which has an abbreviated format.
For instance, where I might write "work 2 sc in each st around," amigurumi patterns would write "(Inc) x6." It takes a little adjusting, but is easy to follow once you get the hang of it - like anything in crochet!
I haven't had a chance to make any of the patterns in this book. But the layout is great and the photos look amazing. There are some mixed reviews of it on Amazon currently, so this one might be best for those with more experience crocheting amigurumi.

Bernhardt-Schuhow Debi says
This is exciting! Brings back so many good memories!
Haley says
My fav is definitely Fozzie and Gonzo!
Autumn Bower says
My favorite skit is the one with the caveman guy with sunglasses and the two pink girl singers (don't know what they were, they had little horns on their heads and an "o" shaped mouth) that sang kind of scatting with "mana mahna" from the man and "do do to da to" for a chorus from the girls. And anything skit that the two old hecklers from the audience (usually in the balcony) were in. The Muppets Show was my absolute favorite show when I was a kid, and still love to watch; and of course I got my kids hooked on watching too!
Lady Choe says
I love to think back on how I must have annoyed my parents endlessly with that song 🙂
Lisa Hawkins says
Kermit has always been my favorite, but I do love the whole 'cast'! I remember watching the show as a kid in the 70's. My parents played the John Denver & Muppets Christmas every year at the holidays - now I play it for my kids 😊

Julie Ann Shaw says
How can one choose a favorite Muppet!!??? Kermit forever lives in my heart. Gonzo, Fozzy, & Rowlf tickle my funny bone. And Sweetums just makes me wanna snuggle & pet him & tell him everything will be ok and see how life is better when you are kind (thinking Frog Prince)

Anne Haun says
I love Miss Piggy - she is such a character!
Susan Anderson says
I have a wonderful picture of my son watching the Muppets (TV) Show. When he was about 2 years old ( 1977-78) and his absolute favorite show. To recreate the characters would be awesome.
Nancy says
How can you have just one favorite muppet? Kermit is great and maybe the favorite, but I also love the yip yips!!
Donna S says
I remember watching them when our son was growing up. What fun we had as a family watching this TV show and then movies. Where have the good times gone?
Kermit, Miss Piggy, what a great cast of characters and the special people they had on the program. Great entertainment.

My favorite muppet is animal. I wish they did a fraggle rock book.

They are all so cute. I’m a new Great Grandma this past November so its time to learn amigurumi.
Tracey says
I love the Muppets! It would be so fun to recreate the characters in crochet!
Christine Voss says

I grew up with the muppets and love them all, but Beeker would be the first one I make, then Animal.

Animal!
Cherrie says
This is too cute. I'm a Ms. Piggy fan all the way.
Emily says
Such a great activity with my out of school program!
Serena Flores says
Cool!
Connie Dews says
It's hard to choose but for me it would be Kermit. I can identify with him in that he is able to handle the crazy while remaining mostly calm. He is kind and considerate of others. And mostly he loves life and laughter and tries to share them with those around him.
K says
What as gorgeous book! Makes me want to skip from being a beginner to being an expert, asap 🙂 As for fave Muppet, it's always been Kermit 💚
Meg says
Gonzo was my great grandmother's favorite and her was the first person I ever watched The Muppets with. I also love Rizzo, because I'm a rat at heart.
Manon Hayes says
My favorite Muppet is Sweetums. But I would look most forward to crocheting the Swedish Chef!
Kara L Hartz says
While technically 2 muppets, they are inseparable so I'm saying Bunsen and Beaker are my favorite. I had a pet buggie years ago named Beaker because he made little noises just like his muppet namesake.
K says
I want this so badly !
Jacquie says
I love Kermie and Fozzie! We always listen to Movin’ Right Along when we go on road trips! ❤️
Liz P says
I think my favorite Muppet, although he's not in the book sadly, is Tiny the large hairy, scary looking monster that's actually really sweet.
But I also love the two Old Men - I know their names but can't remember them darn it >.< - Beeker, The Swedish Chef, Animal, and Rowlf, and of course Gonzo. I don't know how anybody couldn't like Gonzo.
And I've always looked up to Miss Piggy for her fashion sense and not caring what others think&her confidence.
Ouida says
These are so cute! I love Oscar! “Have a rotten day!”
Audrey says
Love the Muppets! Grew up watching them with my parents. My dad really liked watching them. So many are my favorites. I would have to put Animal first than Waldorf and Statler next. So excited about the book. Thanks for the Giveaway!
Janice Rine says
I love Animal, the drummer, the best. He reminds me of a drummer I knew when I was younger.

Oh let me not forget my son (father to the 5) who is a drummer and a huge Animal fan! Thank you for this opportunity! -Jazz
Sandi Schultz says
My favorite Muppet is Scooter, but I also have a soft spot for Gonzo, Beaker, and Fozzie. And Animal. 😀 It's hard to not love them all!
Renee says
This is so exciting! I am a lifelong Muppet lover ❤️ Hard to say who is my favorite, but Animal is the winner by a margin. Kermit is in a close second. ☺️
Andrea Rivera says
It’s hard for me to choose a favorite but the ones I sheets love to see are Pepe, Rizzo, Miss Piggy and Fozzy. Pepe and Rizzo are my fav iconic duo because their personalities are hilarious and they compliment each other so well. Miss Piggy’s outfits are always super cute and her confidence always steals the spotlight. Fozzy is so kind and warms me up every time I see him. So with so many characters and their differences it’s really difficult to choose who to like more.
Natasha says
Beaker!!
Brenda Fish says
Oh my goodness!! My favorite is Kermit the frog. When I was young I had a Kermit doll that I took everywhere. When I went to Sea World for the first time and went through the underwater shark tunnel I had him with me to protect me from the moving sidewalk through the tunnel. I protected him from the sharks. I am so excited about this book!
Kendall says
Kermit is my favorite Muppet. I really do love them all which makes the decision difficult, but he always makes me happy. Rainbow Connection was the first song I learned on the Ukulele. The Muppets have helped me through some really tough times in life. I always love to watch the movies when I feel down for an instant pick-me-up!
Ah says
Mine too! So funny!
Heather Elizabeth Oliver says
Big fan of Fozzie and Miss Piggy! But also Grover. Hard to choose just one!
Quyyn says
Animal, aNiMaL, ANIMAL!
Hayley Meyer says
Oh wow! This book looks incredible! I cannot wait to try it! But my favourite character growing up was Fozzie! He was such a laugh, but I think Statler and Waldorf are so much more relatable these days !!
Vicky Ballmes says
Very excited to check this out. I think I’m most excited about making Gonzo!
Jasmine Quiles says
This post brings back so many fun memories—the Muppets have such a timeless charm! The giveaway is such a thoughtful idea, and I love how you always blend creativity and nostalgia in your posts. My favorite Muppet has to be Kermit; his calm, caring personality always makes me smile. This book seems like such a fun way to celebrate their legacy!
