These are very cute and easy to crochet. Like the other reviewer said many things are done using a single crochet . The author also has a etsy shop and blog so check those out if you want to see more of her style. What I wanted to know before I bought it was what patterns are included:

Valentine Bears,Baby lion and his daddy, puppy and his daddy, baby monkey and her daddy, baby penguin and her mommy, baby owl and her mommy, baby hedgehog and her mommy, boy and girl elephants, baby octupus and her mommy, mr and mrs cactus, happy eggs, cafe con leche cup , cupcake , ice-cream cone, tiny ami that are: mouse ,bunny,cat,bear,turtle,and duck, also a little pear and a little apple with a worm.

The toys are made with worsted weight yarn size g/6 ,f/5 ,or e/4 hooks.You will also need polyester fiberfill, a tapestry needle, felt and safety eyes or embroidery floss.

I just got it and I have already made 3 bunny a duck and a little egg with a chick inside for easter gifts . They are all super cute don't take much yarn to make and work up fast!!!!



5 out of 5 stars A Really Great Little Book   April 18, 2008

This is the second of three books I purchased on amigurumi. To be honest, I bought it because the pictures on the front were so adorable that they put me on a hunt for the author on the internet. I found her blog, which is terrific, and then I bought her book. I'm glad I did, because this book is definitely for the beginning crocheter. There are no assumptions that the reader has any more than a rudimentary knowledge of crochet and the directions are very clear.

The patterns are very simple and that's the strength of this book, in my opinion. After making several toys from this book, I was able to make my own "freestyle" patterns. I adapted her hedgehog pattern, along with the donkey pattern from the Kyuuto book (another excellent resource) and made an amigurumi alpaca. Go figure.

Although all of the patterns have the same basic look, this book, more than the others, has gotten me to experiment and create my own little beasts without written directions. That's a huge step for a beginner at crochet and quite an accomplishment for an author. I highly recommend this book as the first book you purchase on amigurumi. It will give you a good start, use up your yarn stash, and move you towards creating your own designs.

As mentioned already, the author has a lovely blog where she shares a few free patterns with her readers and shows off her latest creations. [...]

This book is so wonderful! It's so cute and quirky, I love all the great photos of the amigurumi, and the patterns are incredibly detailed. Not a single step is left out; I only learned to crochet a few months ago, but I'm already whizzing through many of these cute animals! They are so quick to make and they make such adorable gifts! This book would be a great addition to any new crocheters library who wants something quick, fun, and even funky to do! It gives you such a sense of accomplishment when you fully complete a little animal!

Amigurumi World is by far the best amigurumi book I have purchased/borrowed to date. The patterns consistently produce cute items, whereas I have gotten some awkward results from similar books. "Amigurumi World" is great for all levels. You will be churning out oodles of cute stuff in no time with this book. If you're deciding between this book and another, look no further. This is the one you want.

I bought this book, and it is amazing. The patterns are absolutely adorable, and very easy to make. All of the little animals are almost completely done in single crochet, so any beginner with a little bit of experience can make these. The instructions are clear and straight-forward. I can't wait to make every single pattern in this book!
