Mini Amigurumi

Description

The Japanese craze for Amigurumi (crocheted stuffed toys) is explored in miniature in this fun new title in the "Cozy" series, from UK author Sara Scales. These tiny treasures can be used as key rings, charms, hair accessories or just admired as trinkets in their own right. All the basic crochet techniques are clearly explained along with step-by-step illustrations. Charming and precious, these projects may be small but they are bursting with personality, making perfect gifts for friends and family. Anyone unsure about working in this scale can simply practise with larger hooks and thicker yarn - the patterns are exactly the same.
