I have been really happy with this book. I am a fairly experienced crocheter. I found the instructions clear and easy to follow. My only complaint is not with the book at all, but with crocheting amigurumi in general...crocheting tight enough to create an item that can be stuffed is a bit hard on my hands and wrists. I confess a touch of perfectionism and so I want my amigurumi to be tight and strong with no stuffing peeking out. This definitely makes the process a bit "fussy" and slower than my usual crochet speed.… (meer)

I have made some of the super happy crochet cute items in this book...and I really like them (except that my monkey had legs that were two different lengths. Not a fault of the book, however, but my own carelessness!).

I have been crocheting for a very long time, both following patterns and making my own stuff, and I found the instructions in this book pretty easy to follow for the most part. I love some of the details on the dolls, like the little toes. And the hamburger was fun and easy and quick to whip up. This is definitely a fun book and one that will be staying on my bookshelf.… (meer)
