Must Have Amigurumi Books

- Amigurumi books are a steal. If you take into consideration the price of individual patterns on Ravelry and Etsy, books are a bargain. I'm sharing my favorite, must have amigurumi books that every enthusiast should have in their library.
The Must Have Amigurumi Books blog post can be found here:

I would love to know if you have any of these books! Also, what are your amigurumi book recommendations? I'm always on the lookout for adorable amigurumi patterns!
Hey!
I'm looking for a book with crochet patterns for pillows but not just simple square ones but ones that look like animals. So, some sort of an amigurumi pillow. Can you recommend one? Or maybe you can recommend a channel that shares patterns for this type of crochet projects. I'm a little lost.
@@kuschelfreddy Hello! I found a collection of amigurumi pillow patterns on Etsy that I thought were adorable: www.etsy.com/listing/894334204/crochet-pattern-pillow-amigurumi-pattern?gpla=1&gao=1&&Cj0KCQiAqvaNBhDLARIsAH1Pq50ge_q7pA90P3n_3BGN3FiSe5MsckOnLScFS9XtCQhiCM_HcfM7sFgaAlKjEALw_wcB_k_&gclid=Cj0KCQiAqvaNBhDLARIsAH1Pq50ge_q7pA90P3n_3BGN3FiSe5MsckOnLScFS9XtCQhiCM_HcfM7sFgaAlKjEALw_wcB Hope that helps!
@@EliseRoseCrochet It does! That reindeer and the pig. Omg! 😍 I guess, one of these two will be my next project. Thank you so much!
@@kuschelfreddy I know!!! So cute!!
You inspired me to buy my first Pica Pau book a few years ago. I started during the pandemic. I started with the second one. Then got the first one. I just bought myself le 3rd one for Christmas! I love, love the patterns and how it is writen. I already did several of the amigurimi juste for me. I love seeing them on my shelf.
Such adorable patterns! Thank you for the recommendations!!! Looking forward to finding these at our library ❤️
So glad you like the recommendations! ❤️❤️❤️
These are the only stuffed animals I ever care to buy going forward. These are so cute, precious & detailed.
Thanks so very much! I enjoy making them so very much!
Thank you for telling us about these books. I always learn a lot from your videos. I'm looking forward to getting the Pica Pau books.
Oooh! Exciting! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!! ❤️
I just bought both of the Pica Pau books after watching your videos!SOOO excited to make them!!! Thank you for the info😊
You are so welcome!! You are going to love these patterns!!! 💗
Love your channel Elise! Thank you for your videos . Just started Amigurumi and crocheting about three months back . Love your adorable cat Pickle ! 😘😘😘
Thank you so much! You are at the very beginning of your obsession...I mean hobby!! Just remember to take breaks and not to crochet too long at one time!! 💙💙💙
I recently crocheted the donkey from the Pica Pau book. It's gorgeous!!! Thank you for the recommendations.
You're so welcome!! I've never made the donkey but it looks soooo cute!! ❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️
Loved your crochets, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed! ❤️❤️❤️
Love that you shared all this with us, anyone following you on Instagram will appreciate how beautiful your yarn friends are. As you know (last year's elf saga), I'm not the best at amigurumi but I'd really like to give it a bash next year.. and socks too. Thanks for a lovely upload Elise, as usual. PS your room looks amazing 😘😘💖
Thanks so very much, Dawn. I know you can do it. It just takes wrapping your head around the techniques, being ok with the first one lookin like crud, and doing it all over again! Lol! I also want to learn how to knit socks! It seems like it is very addictive! I am still so in love with my room I can't hardly stand it!!
So happy to have found you...ypur videos are just the kind of crafting I enjoy. Going to binge watch your old videos. Xxx
Thank you so very much!! I'm so glad you enjoy them! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi I’m late watching your videos, but loving them. I’m based in the UK and have recently started making amigurumi and I nearly gave up on my first project as it was difficult....Then I found your video where you say keep going, and you will improve ! And thank you I kept going and they are improving, not perfect, but it makes them unique 😀. Most people do them in cotton, I found that hard to work with and then I watched your recommendations for wool, so much easer and forgiving.
Anyone who wants to start making amigurumi, please watch the four starter videos. The designer amigurumi is available on the Uk Amazon.
Love your knitted Bunnies. A big thank you. Alex
Thank you so very much! I'm so glad my videos have helped you! And cotton looks so good, but doesn't feel good to some of us! Glad you found that wool works for you too. 💓🍄💓🍄
Love the video and the books :) i already have 2 of the 4 books. The pica pau book is definitely my favourite and I can’t wait for the second book of Pica Pau! (June 2020)
Oh I know!!! Cannot wait for that one!!
Your videos are amazingly helpful and I've always struggled with tension and colour changes and I will use your tips now! Thank you so much!! 😁
Thank you so very much! I'm so glad they are helping!!
Would you ever do a video tutorial of how to crochet one of the patterns from a book? Or is there a copyright issue maybe
@@Harry-qo3zh no, I wouldn't be able to do one for that very reason. Since they aren't my patterns I am unable to share anything specific to them.
OK no problem
thank you!!! love this video. so useful.
So glad you liked it! 💓
Thank you for these amigurumi book recommendations. I have the book Animal Friends of Pica Pau, Unicorns, Dragons and More, Zoomigurumi 4 and Zoomigurumi 7, as well as Loveable Amigurumi Toys and Cuddly Amigurumi Toys. I now need to go buy Sweet Crochet Friends and Cute Crocheted Animals and i will certainly be on the look out for Designer Amigurumi. Thanks again. 😊
You have a nice collection of amigurumi books! They are just so much fun to make! Thanks so much!
I just picked up a couple of these! I loved this video! Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm so glad you liked it! Hope you love the books! 😊
@@EliseRoseCrochet there are not enough videos out here on amigurumi books, if you ask ME, so I REALLY enjoyed your video and careful recommendations. I purchased the Pica Pau book and the Cute Crocheted Animals. They've arrived, but I haven't yet had a chance to make anything from them. I look forward to it though! Having recently found your channel, I have also binge-watched most of your amigurumi videos and loved them! So glad to find a crochet channel on youtube with an amigurumi focus! I've subscribed and looking forward to more! Thank you!
Awww! Thank you so very much! I really appreciate that!!! And I couldn't agree more.... the world needs more amigurumi videos!
Thank you for all these book reviews!🙃
You're so welcome! 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome! 💖💖💖
Thank you for the amigurumi book suggestions! I’m adding them to my wishlist. I really like amigurumi, but I need more practice, especially in the assembly part and the face features 😀❤️
I found the Designer Amigurumi in the BookDepository site. I’ll send you the link on Instagram 😍
@@apapsa those are definitely the hardest parts! It just takes practice!
I have loved your tip of finishing the face first and getting it just right, instead of waiting till the end! When
I worked the head first and was happy with the results, it was so satisfying to finish that little character! I give all my things away! It’s just for fun! And I am under no pressure to meet deadlines! Love your channel!
Hi Elise! Thank you for the tips! I pre ordered new releases of this year, like Pica Pau 3, Lula & her Amigurumi friends, Aquatic Amigurumi and Crochet Zodiac Dolls. They look so beautiful and I can't wait to receive them! Can we expect a review of these books anytime soon? Lots of love from Austria ❤
You will definitely be seeing reviews of some of those books soon!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the recommendation's. I also recommend, "Kawaii Crochet" by Melissa Bradley, this was my first book. I bought Kawaii Crochet at Joann's Fabrics. There are a few single crochet patterns I have purchased from etsy because I was looking for a specific character. I want to crochet all the things, but what do I do with them all? I am new to crochet, the reason I wanted to learn crochet is because I wanted to make amigurumi. I am actually a knitter, but I feel that crochet has some specific strengths that knitting lacks when it comes to making plushies. Knitted animals are still cute though. I also LOVE granny squares, and wanted learn how to make granny squares as well. Paintbox yarns are great by the way, totally recommend.
I love to crochet and knit too, and there are just some things things that are better in each craft! Thanks for sharing your recommendation! 🧶🧶🧶
I want them all!
Irene Bradberry haha! They really are all great books! 😊😊😊
Hi, I bought the Pica Pau book right after seeing your makes, and I love it. I read that there is a second version due out next year, I’m not sure if that’s true ? Cute crocheted animal book I borrowed from the library first , then I knew I had to own my own copy so I have that. The cute creatures book is new to me but looks like another must own ! I will try and find designer amigurumi book too. Happy holidays to you and your family , Karen R
Thanks so much, Karen! I follow the Pica Pau author on Instagram and looks like she is working on a new book! I can't wait! Happy Holidays to you and yours as well!
Thank you for sharing
You are most welcome!
THANK YOU
You're very welcome! ❤
Hi Elise, yesss to all of these Amigurumi Books!! I am working on a Duck from Pica Pau, but can't for the life of me figure out how to make a clean color switch in a row/pattern... can you recommend a tutorial or share any tips? I recently discovered your channel and just love your energy
Oooh! I love that pattern! I don't mind the jog with the color change. It's just what happens with crocheting in a spiral. But if it really bothers you, look up a video for a jogless color change! Hope that helps!! 🦆🦆🦆
Because of the pica pau book I use the ‘yarn under’ technique now and I personally think this looks more stunning on your amigurumi. Do you also use the yarn under technique?
I don't do the yarn under technique but it does look nice. The one time I tried it I kept reverting back to the yarn over technique halfway and had to rip it all out! lol!
I love any of the ‘Zoomigurumi’ books and I’ve made multiple animals and birds from the ‘Edward’s Menagerie’ books by Kerry Lord.
Those looks like such great books!! I haven't made any of them! Too many cute patterns, not enough time! 🤣🤣🤣
Thrift Books is a great source for hard to find books, out of print books, new and used books.
Thank you so much for sharing that information!! 💚
Used book stores on line will sometimes have a book that is no longer available. I know if you’re buying a used book, you’re not supporting the designer who created the book, but if it is not available to buy it new, that is an option to consider.
That's a great resource!! ❤️❤️❤️
I know this is an old video but I just found you and loved the video! Sadly, my favorite of the bunch is Sweet Crochet Friends and it is unavailable now. Thanks for the recommendations!
That's so sad! I just looked it up and I have no idea why it's no longer available! 💓
Hi, we can still get the book in the Uk as I recently purchased it from Amazon. X
@@Alexandra-hp4mv That's good to know! Thanks for sharing!
I found the link! Also, I’m wanting to start doing amigurumi, what do you recommend that I need to know how to do first, other than the magic ring? :)
Here's a beginner tutorial I did to learn all the basic skills for amigurumi. Once you can make this little pattern you will be able to move on to more advanced patterns! th-cam.com/video/ASzIh5SOo68/w-d-xo.html 💖
I wish i could share a pic of my favorite books, but check out Meteoor Books, designers-Mari-Liis Lille, Erinna Lee, and others. And my newest book is Crochet Animal Slippers by Ira Rott, and the slippers come in every size plus unique animal designs to create add an amigurumi touch to these precious slippers! Thank you for sharing your great books too!
I definitely will! Thanks for sharing!! I love Erinna! She's an amazing designer, but I don't know the others! 💖
Book depository has the book Designer Amigurumi ⭐️
Oooh! Thanks for sharing!!! 🧶🧶🧶
So I was just looking up a bunch of different books like pica pau and the designer book the last one u talked about I saw it on etsy and Pinterest just to let u know
Oh great! Thanks so much for sharing!! Never thought to look at those places! 💜
I just checked Amazon for Designer Amigurumi book. Amazon still has it, however ever there are only 10 left at this time.
That's good to know! Thank you for sharing! 🧶❤️🧶❤️
Have you ever seen Lalylala's patterns? Her book Beetles, Bugs and Butterflies is so cute!
I have heard of it but I don't have it!! I think I need to get that one!!! 🐛🐝🐞🪰🪲
Hi my name is Alma. I bought the pica pau book. It is adorable. I made the frog and started doing Charles on page 120 but I couldn't move the head forward. When I get to lap 11 where I have to mix with the raw color it's a total mess ... I count the 48 points but it doesn't look even ... I've spent a lot of time trying to define where the error is but I can't find it. ..There is some way you can help me?.
Hello, Alma. This is one project from the Pica Pau book that I've never made before. Wish I could help. I just looked at round 11 on the head and I see that is when the color changes begin. This may or may not help, but have you looked at page 45 to see how she is doing the color changes?
Hiiii. Thank you for answer me. Helps me a lot. XOXO
Do you use worsted weight yarn with the 3.5mm hook for the Pica Pau patterns?
Yes I do! Hope that helps! ❤️
@@EliseRoseCrochet it does! I did the puffin with recommended yarn and hook size and it was a bit of a struggle :)
These things, made out of hemp or jute type of material, all around my yard and garden?
Thanks for sharing! ❤️
What type and brand of yarn do you prefer for amigurumi?
I actually have two different favorites. My #1 favorite is this yarn: www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/berroco-vintage?a_aid=78bd585e and my #2 favorite is: www.lovecrafts.com/en-us/p/paintbox-yarns-wool-mix-aran?a_aid=78bd585e. Hope that helps! 😊
Dear Elise, I enjoyed the review of these books. To buy a book it really takes me time, it is an investment to me and I treasure and keep what I get. Thanks for the great dissect of the books. You made my decision easier. 👍Santa is now direct to my wishes 😉😉🎄🎅 Have a wonderful Season and Christmas! ❤
I'm glad it was helpful, Aida! I know that for me being able to see the inside of the book and all the patterns helps me make a decision too!
Can you share how to make a tutu?
I currently don't have a video for that but I do have a blog post tutorial! lepetitsaintcrochet.com/2018/07/19/poppy-pigs-tutu-tutorial/
Hello, I am a new sub, I have a free pattern of an Eeyore cuddle buddy amigurumi but I am a complete beginner and I don't know how to make it.
Is there any chance that you could do a video tutorial on how to make these?
The pattern is by Fuzz Poppi
Hello! Welcome! I'm so glad you've subscribed to the channel! And that amigurumi Eeyore sounds so adorable. Even though it's a free pattern, it is still the copyrighted work of that designer, so for that reason, I am legally not allowed to show how to make that pattern. If you are looking for a step-by-step amigurumi tutorial for beginners, here my most recent one: th-cam.com/video/ASzIh5SOo68/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps! 💓🍄🌻
hola soy de chile te felicito son bellos lo q tu haces me encantaria hacer algunos de tus trabajos porque son hermosos pero no sale nada yo no se si hay q pagar poco entiendo de tecnologia espero q me puedas ayudar te agradesco si me responde
¡Gracias! Aquí hay un enlace para los libros de Pica Pau: amzn.to/3NkakOQ 🌻
hi, I found the Designer Amigurumi book , it was second hand in World of books. just in case anyone interested.
Oh great to know!! Thank you!
👍

I LOVE Crochet Iconic Women by Carla Mitrani. Fifteen adorable patterns. So far, I have made amazing Emmeline Pankhurst, Elizabeth II and Rosa Parks dolls using the patterns and combined several patterns to create a J. K. Rowling doll. Currently making a little Jane Austen. Lovely patterns and after a doll or two, you will understand the process enough to be able to design your own dolls.
Thank you for sharing! I have the book on my shelf, but I haven't made any of the patterns yet! 🧶💖🧶💖

I don’t have any of these books and am a beginner in amagarumi.
It's such a fun hobby! Keep practicing and you will get better and better!
New friend here
Hello! Glad you're here. 🍄🌻💓
I have a book for 7$ and there is 26 patters!!!
That sounds like a great deal! 🍄
Good books but really expensive all four books cost $87 with tax plus shipping fee
Maybe see if your local library has them? Or even if they are for sale used? Books can be really expensive when you add it all up! 🧶🧶🧶
As adorable as they all are 13- 50 dollars shipping on top of the exchange rate makes them far too expensive to buy sadly.
That's too bad. I don't blame you though. There are a lot of great patterns that you can purchase online or for free! 🍄🌻💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet I logged into my regional amazon and found out that because I am an Amazon Prime member shipping was free. I've grabbed the first two books you mentioned, now for the interminable wait for them to arrive. I feel like I'm back in the 80's waiting for overseas mail by cargo ship lol.
@@saharaantarctica2525 Yay! I'm so glad! Where are they being shipped to??? Not Antarctica?
@@EliseRoseCrochet lol no but close The land of Oz-stralia.
Oh my goodness, young lady you're costing me a fortune!😳😲😅
Lol!!!! I'm so sorry!!! 🙈🙈🙈
@@EliseRoseCrochet Ha Ha HA! No your not!!🤣😂😅
