The patterns are well written in UK terms and I cant wait to get hooking and make some adorable decorations for my tree this year! Theres also a very helpful section on sewing the amigurumi together – something I have always struggled with! Lots of pictures and instructions for the more fiddly parts! (Such as Santas beard and cheeks) The foods are adorable! This year Ill just have a Christmas tree covered in crochet sprouts! I am really looking forward to making the little penguin too! Overall a fantastic book, a great addition to any crocheters library! Thank you! -- Sapphire Greeves * Amazon Customer Review *Some lovely designs here - like the holly berries, which could be used for a Christmas wreath and a penguin for my friend who is a mega penguin fan. Im glad these are not edible, as they look very cute! -- Cherry Chui * Amazon Customer Review *Love this book, crocheted loads all ready! -- Gillian Hird * Amazon Customer Review *I received a copy of Amigurumi Christmas from Search Press and I absolutely LOVE IT! I know that it seems strange to be talking about Christmas when weve not had Halloween or Bonfire Night yet, but its only 8 weeks until Christmas! So definitely the right time to be getting gifts and decorations made so youre not panicking at the last minute! Ive been there and done that! In fact, one year, I gave Mr JK one sock and a half finished WIP which I then went on to finish knitting over the Christmas holidays!The author, Sarah-Jane Hicks, was new to me, but I have started following her on Instagram where she is @flo_and_dot, and she has a lovely, colourful feed. (And I discovered that she lives in Norfolk too!)The book is packed full of super-cute projects - there are 20 of them in total. If this kind of crochet is new to you, you might be interested to know that amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed yarn creatures. As well as all the projects, Sarah-Jane has given lots of information and tips on the different techniques you will need to complete the projects - from inserting eyes to sewing together the individual pieces to finish your work off. There are lots of photographs and the instructions are very clearly written, step-by-step.Its really hard to pick a favourite project because I can honestly say that there is nothing in the book that I dont like. I just need a magic wand to be able to crochet them all! But here are my absolute favourites...Im going to rummage through my yarn to see what different shade of green I have because I need some sprouts in my life! Do you see what I mean about the cuteness of the designs? They are all like that, seriously!If you are a crochet fan, or know someone who is, then I would definitely recommend getting this book. Its very reasonably priced and with twenty designs to make, I think its really good value. -- Helen Kurtz * theknittingexploitsofjosiekitten.blogspot.com *An adorable collection of festive dolls, from Santa and his elves to a friendly Christmas pudding and Brussels sprouts, gingerbread man, tree and more! Theres also a great guide to ami techniques with step-by-step photos. * Inside Crochet magazine - Issue 130 *Excellent book, such cute designs and really clear instructions. I cant wait to make them, just what I needed for lockdown 2.0. -- Laura Vitty * Amazon Customer Review * Review Quote Postcard Reviews September 2020 As the front cover says, the designs in this beautiful book are super cute! Kwaii means cute in Japanese, and when combined with crochet, these adorable amigurumi figures really do come to life. I adore the Mr and Mrs Santa, and along with the Snowman, the Christmas Pudding and the very pretty Angel, Christmas is very much sorted. The designs also included Christmas edibles, who knew crochet could be so much fun. There are 20 designs, all have full instructions including how to finish them perfectly. The recipes tell you what yarn to use, what hook is best and the finished sizes. Basic crochet techniques are given a page or two so even a beginner can learn to make and create something lovely. The projects can be adapted, using different colour yarns, adding embroidery and beads, so each one can be very unique in style. Perfect to be given as gifts or just to add a fun Christmas flair to your home decor Its lovely.
