I recently had the opportunity to review Repeat Crafters amazing new book, “Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns“. The book is set to release on August 20th, but you can pre-order it now. Upon reviewing the book, my first thought was, “these designs are all so dang cute!”
But then, I opened the book and began to thumb through the first pages. Sarah went above and beyond and included written and photo tutorials for every step of crocheting amigurumi.
She included the basics like types of hooks, yarn recommendations, how to begin with a magic circle (which those that know me, know this is always a struggle for me). She shows how to sew the different pieces together, how to add eyes, and so much more.
The book really has a great explanation for beginners as well as those that are experienced making amigurumi.
The Crochet Cute Critters
After the first 23 detailed pages of instructions, the cuteness really begins. Sarah features 26 animals that correspond to the 26 letters of the alphabet: Alex the Alligator, Benny the Bear, Callie the Cat, and so on. All the animal designs are a little different fun have a fun personality with their design. Some of my favorites are: Alex the Alligator, Xavier the Xray Fish, and Yoland the Yak.
Again, you can pre-order the book on Amazon, HERE. The Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns, will be released on August 20, 2019. Or read below on the change to win your copy!

I love it when authors go out of their way to teach basic AND Advanced techniques in their books. It helps those learning to build confidence and it helps those who have done a few projects or a hundred expand their learning arsenal. I can’t wait to get this book!

I love Sarah’s patterns. Looking forward to this book. Fingers crossed I win a copy.
Thanks for the review Christine! Amigurami are not always my favorite, but I think I might need to give this a try with all the helpful hints ?
I love Amigurumi. It’s my favorite to crochet. I love all the animals, but especially the Daisy the Dog.
These are adorable! The turtle would be my first make.
LOVE Alex the Alligator and Walter the Whale…. that owl I got a peek of is also on the list…..
I love Lily the lamb and Rosey the rabbit! They are all adorable though.
I love Yoland the Yak! He’s so cute!
It”s very hard to narrow my favorite amigurumi from the book as they are ALL adorable. I’d probably start with the hippo or alligator first. Thanks for a chance at a wonderful giveaway!
I love them all, but I’m a huge fan of the kitty!!
I love Sarah’s designs. I would make the kitten on the cover first!
I can’t pick one favourite, but Benny the Bear and Uniqua the Unicorn are both equal favourites, l love them……….
They are all adorable but my favorite is Penelope the Penguin!
I love them all but I think my favorite has got to be the alligator. I would love to make them all. The children that come to the postpartum unit are always playing with the bears on display. They always get a little mad when they have to give them back. It would be nice if they had something that they could take home that was theirs to keep.
So cute! The hippo is my favorite.
Oh I love the unicorn!
Love your patterns!!!
My favorite is Sammy the Snail. He’s so cute and that was my father’s name.
I love them all, but the giraffe is my favorite ?
My favorite is Alex the alligator 🙂
I love so many! The puppy, the penguin, and the elephant would be my favorites.
I love Uniqua and Callie! They are all so cute!!
Adorable! I want to make the bull.:)
I love the penguin and the iguana!
I can’t decide! Maybe the alligator. They are all so cute!! Thank you!
So many amazing patterns! I think the giraffe is the cutest! ?
Looks like such a cute book! I have made so many of Sarah’s patterns through the years, I’m excited to check this book out!
