Unicorns, Dragons and More Fantasy Amigurumi: Bring 14 Magical Characters to Life! (1)

This book is so awesome. I’m brand new to crochet. Apart from a Woobles kit, I’ve never managed anything more complex than a scarf but I so desperately wanted to make a unicorn so I got this book. I honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to use any of the patterns, but my first amigurumi attempt was Bel in the back of the book. I’m a true beginner and I was able to follow this pattern and make a unicorn and I’m so excited to make more. There are patterns for different skill levels and great instructions both of the animals and the different stitches. Get this book, you will be glad you did!

The patterns are easy to follow and extremely cute! I purchased the next 2 in this series!

The animals are adorable

I love love LOVE this book! The instructions are relatively straightforward, the patterns are super cute and there are many pictures to accompany the instructions. Theres so many varieties of patterns and as someone fairly new to amigurumi I’m learning so many new skills too. However this is NOT for complete beginners. I started amigurumi with “Woobles” and the easiest ones in this book is about the same level as Woobles’ “intermediate+” (a bit harder even). It is an AMAZING book if you know a lot of the basic stitches and how to connect the pieces and want to ramp up your skills or just make something cute. I quickly bought the second volume of this series too - hope for more to come in the future!

Full disclaimer- I’m new to crochet. I love the designs in this book. They are whimsical and varied and come from different contributors. I have thus far only tried one. I was so very frustrated with the instructions that I haven’t tried another. The book is great about linking you to stitches that you may not know through a QR code. My issue had to do with the pattern I attempted. While I’m very pleased with my finished product and I learned a lot in the process, that is mostly because I had to come up with solutions on my own. The instructions for the hair yielded a ridiculously large wig cap and long strands that had to be ripped out after completing the entire thing ( hours of work) and greatly reducing the rows on the cap and the number of chains on the strands. The gown top was much too small and had to be added to to make it look correct (this could be due to different brands of yarn or the fact that my tension wasn’t consistent as I am still new to the process.). The patten has legs (with vague directions about attachment) however to make the dress fill out and allow for the figure to stand I had to remove them and stuff the skirt and and crochet a bottom piece. I fought very hard to have finished product because more than once I wanted to trash it after spending so many hours working on it. I will allow that using a quality yarn brand may have yielded a better result, however it would have by no means solved all the issues with this pattern. I can not say anything for the other patterns as they are submitted by other contributors . I gave the book a higher star rating than my experience because of that. (Note: the face is different than the pattern as I altered the face slightly to my liking.)

My daughter loves it. It’s a very easy to work with. It has different skill levels. It shows you the pattern to do it. And you can look up videos from the book.

Great quality, clear, step-by-step instructions with illustrations

This was a well-received gift. It has many, many charming creatures to ignite one's imagination.

Gli amigurumi sono molto belli. Il libro è scritto in inglese ma è abbastanza facile da comprendere anche per chi, come me, è alle prime armi con uncinetto e schemi. Nelle prime pagine ci sono una serie di consigli su filo e uncinetto da utilizzare e i punti base con spiegazioni e illustrazioni. Consigliato.

Unos diseños preciosos, originales y bien explicados. Que esté en inglés no es problema porque las instrucciones son siempre similares, de manera que cuando las traduces una vez ya no las olvidas.

Bonjour ! Ce livre 📖 est tout simplement sublime et facile d’utilisation bien que rédigé en anglais ! Les explications sont très claires, avec des photos à l’appui.. en début de livre il y a les points utilisés entièrement expliqués avec des vidéo via des Flashcodes. 14 modèles au total.. plusieurs créatrices.. beaucoup d’heures de crochet 🧶 et d’amusement ! Les niveaux de difficulté sont annoncés pour chaque modèle ainsi que la liste des fournitures ! Il peut être un excellent cadeau 🎁 de Noël 🎄 ! Alors hop hop hop en piste pour de nouvelles aventures 😁.. NB : je suis débutante au crochet et j’ai déjà confectionné un amigurumi avec ce livre !

Purchased as a gift for a family member who crochets. Lots of good patterns inside.
