Book Synopsis

Knit adorable mini amigurumi animals with this fun Japanese knitting book.

While the demand for Japanese amigurumi or "crocheted stuffed toys" just keeps getting bigger, these incredibly cute Japanese crocheted critters have just gotten smaller!

Maggie's amigurumi crochet patterns are so easy to follow that you'll be able to make enough to satisfy an obvious demand from your friends and family. Erin even provides instructions on how to display these tiny Japanese crochet creatures in their own crochet-decorated terrarium. Itty Bitty Crocheted Critters features step-by-step instructions on how to make twenty of Voodoo Maggie's most popular mini amigurmi miniatures.

Amigurumi animals include:

• Red Panda
• Tusked Narwhal
• Otter
• Pinkerton Flamingo
• Camellia Chameleon

These irresistible little guys are guaranteed to bring a smile to anyone's face. Get ready to "Awwwww!"

Even if you are just learning amigurumi, you can do these designs. One tiny hook. A couple of DMC floss pieces and you can rock this book." --Bookgirl Knitting, The Eclectic Book Blog

"If you have young sons or grandsons, you're likely to find something fun to crochet for them in this book. You're just as likely to find something fun to make for your daughters and granddaughters. I think some of the patterns are cute (without being overly ('cutesie'). Some, like the alligator, are appealing, but not what I'd necessarily call 'cute'--a good mix of boy-friendly / girl-friendly, overall."--About.com Crochet
