Hi everyone,
Welcome back to books on Wednesday’s! Today we are looking at Ami Ami Kittens – Seriously Cute Crochet!
Kitten lovers, crafty folks, and people who just love cute stuff can rejoice: AMI AMI KITTENS: Seriously Cute Crochet! (Harper Design; Trade Paperback) is a craft book following on the heels of the great success of AMI AMI DOGS and AMI AMI DOGS 2, but now for cat lovers! With clear step-by-step instructions and patterns, and whimsical photograph inserts of kittens, AMI AMI KITTENS will intrigue the most expert crafters while beckoning newcomers to try their hand at creating these adorable toys.
AMI AMI KITTENS introduces readers to various techniques of Amigurumi, the popular Japanese art of crocheting stuffed animals. The signature style of Amigurumi, which translated means “knitted stuffed toy,” are the crocheted animals’ large heads and small bodies, which add to their charming appeal.
In AMI AMI KITTENS, crocheters will learn:
– Basic crocheting techniques (perfect for beginners!)
– Spiral techniques to ensure stuffing will not come out
– Patterns and detailed directions for many different types of kittens! Including: Tabby, Pointed, Black/White Solid, Calico, Black and White, Scottish Fold, Siamese, Russian Blue, Munchkin, Maine Coone, British Shorthair, and American Shorthair!A surefire conversation starter and great gift idea, AMI AMI KITTENS mini versions of your favorite cuddly feline will inspire you to pick up the needle and thread like no other craft project!
Our verdict? If you love crotching this is the purrfect book for you! It will combine your hobby with creating super adorable kawaii cats.
Now our own DIY skills are slightly limited so we involved a friend of ours that LOVES crotching! Said friend has been challenged to re-create us a few of these cute little kittens and we will follow-up with a post once they are done.😀
