Making your own cuddly toys has never been simpler. With just a few simple crochet stitches, a hook, a ball of yarn, and some stuffing, you can work up a brand new amigurumi friend in a single afternoon.

Amigurumi Animals features a cast of over 50 cute crochet creatures designed by Anabelle McElhaney, a.k.a. Crochet Grove, one of the internet’s biggest plushie designers. The book includes some of Anabelle’s most popular designs, along with exclusive creations, from woodland creatures to polar pals, plus amigurumi accessories to personalise your creations.

Incredibly accessible, each pattern features step-by-step images showing the design come to life, while an introductory how-to chapter will help first-time crocheters get to grips with essential stitches. With Anabelle’s low-sew approach, crafters of all abilities will be able to assemble the different pieces of each plushie quickly and easily – no specialist sewing skills required.
