Amigurumi Toy Box: Review

I have been working hard on finishing my little animals to give away. Now I am so close I feel it is time to give the book I'm using, Amigurumi Toy Box a look-see.

Amigurumi Toy Box is by Ana Paula Rimoli. Like her book Amigurumi World she takes you through her journey in creating each animal.


 Along with each picture and pattern there is a short paragraph explaining why she chose to make that particular animal.

Before I purchased this book, I was already excited about creating the new animals. I had only read what she had written about them!

The patterns are written in word form and are easy to follow. She also gives instructions as to what color of yarn to use, if you are making the animal as she has.

Also, for the beginner crocheter, there are instructions on how to do each of the stitches used in the book.

The beauty of amigurumi is that anyone can learn how to do it because of the simple stitches and the easy circular motion of each of the patterns.

If you are a fan of Ana Paula Rimoli, do not fail to get this book! The pictures are fun to look at and the anecdotes are fun to read.

Plus, if you are a part of Facebook you can show Rimoli your creations! Which almost gives the book a more personal touch because you can contact the author.

But nonetheless if you are a beginner, do not fear because Rimoli makes it easy for you to follow her patterns.

It is an enjoyable book that any crocheter would love to have in their library.
