"Amigurumi lovers, rejoice! Pattern developer Vindevogel has shared the skills she learned from her grandmother in this accessible, fantastic collection of adorable crochet animals". LIBRARY JOURNAL STARRED REVIEW!
Be captivated by the personalities of Peter Panda and his whimsical friends!
Femke Vindevogel invites you to crochet 10 irresistible animals, each one with its own uplifting story to tell. If you can't decide between Harry Hare and Bertha Chicken, or Albert Whale and Karate Pig, you'll just have to make them all!
Between 18cm (7in) and 26cm (10in) high, yet with personalities much bigger, these toys burst onto the scene with their Scandi palette, joyful outlook and smart accessories. Have fun adding pops of colour to your creations: mittens for Iggy Polar Bear, a scarf and derby hat for Tom Dachshund, a sweater for Jules Reindeer and a rainbow bag for Zoe Zebracorn.
Whether you are at beginner, adventurous beginner or intermediate level, there is a playful amigurumi project waiting for you, complete with charts and templates.
Femke Vindevogel is a Belgian designer who inherited the love of crochet from her grandmother and mother. As a child, Femke designed clothes for her dolls and her love for designing has only grown stronger.
She is now a product developer for Scheepjes yarn and her designs have featured in Better Homes & Gardens and The Sewing Box magazine. Femke is also a writer and has published several literary novels.
LIBRARY JOURNAL STARRED REVIEW Amigurumi lovers, rejoice! Pattern developer Vindevogel has shared the skills she learned from her grandmother in this accessible, fantastic collection of adorable crochet animals. From a whale in a sailor hat and a karate-kicking pig to a polar bear and reindeer in winter sweaters, each animal has a name and a dash of whimsy. The photos showcase the creations’ unique stories, but this isn’t just a celebration of Vindevogel’s designs: it’s an invitation for people to play around with new techniques, all carefully explained in the pattern and technique notes. With both metric and U.S. measurements, the only thing the book is missing is guidance on sewing each animal together without creating top-heavy wobbliness. VERDICT Playful yet detailed, the 10 animal friends Vindevogel presents are sure to delight both the crocheter and the recipient of the fun, unfussy creatures, which come to life as easily on the crochet hook as they do in the book.
YARN SUB Cute crocheted animals with quirky personalities. The book contains patterns for 10 characters, each with its own fun backstory.
