Fun Crochet

Product Description

Meet Amy Gaines’ 8 appealing characters to crochet. There’s more to these cute animals than meets the eye. Millicent Rose is a “libearian” by day and a bingo fanatic by night. Archibald Hiram wears his striped PJs whenever he’s not at work as a financial advisor. Rumored peanut shortages keep Wesley the blue elephant from joining the circus. Then there is Lourdes, a preppie purple hippo. Roscoe (Newgate) Kidd is a pirate panda who escaped from the zoo long ago. Scooter Pup is a likeable little fellow whose teeth get him in trouble. From the paranormal files we have Nestor Lochland, A.K.A the Loch Ness monster. Never ones to wait for mischief, Chaos A. Cat and his baby sis, Calamity, are always on the lookout for adventure.

Great Patterns…wish there were more included…..
This is a great pattern leaflet by Leisure Arts and Amy Gaines. The patterns, are fun, creative, and easy to make. I have so far made two of the patterns, and found the directions to be very clear and easy to follow, no errors, and consistent results. Large full color photographs, and templates included for all felt pieces.

My only “complaint” is that there are only 8 patterns. And two of them are so similar (the two bears–one is about an inch larger with a different outfit) that it almost difficult to count them as two separate distinct patterns. It is a bit difficult to justify the regular price when you can buy Ana Paula Rimoli’s “Amigurumi World” book for just about $2-3 more (Amazon price) and receive about 3 times the amount of patterns.

However, I purchased this leaflet for 40% off with a coupon at Michaels, and this leaflet has been well worth the discounted price. I hope that Amy Gaines (who sells patterns on etsy) will publish more of her patterns in a leaflet or book form.

Very well done!!! Highly Recommended!

I Would Not Have Bought This If I Knew…
I’m fairly new to this art and had read through other reviews that this was a decent book for beginners. Not only was that reviewer wrong, but there are no helpful pictures/images that break down the steps-it’s all based on knowledge you are supposed to know already…

The completed image of each creature is used to be a “guide.” Needless to say, it would have been a great book if it had a little more detail with images.

Great fun!
This a great book for crocheters. The animals are just adorable and the character description added for each one is hysterical. It really adds to their personalities. I can hardly wait to make each and every one for my grandchild!
