What fun patterns! The directions are easy to follow and accompanied by photos. With clear steps and stitch guides, this is a solid introduction to a very cute craft.

A great book of ideas for those who love Amigurumi. Not perfect for beginners but for those who need new ideas it has wonderful inspiration!

Easy to follow and adorable! I am a beginner and I was able to understand the info in this book. Nice job!

Learning crochet has been hard for me. But I can’t wait to learn to put some of these to use and makes form of these!

The patterns in this book are really wonderful. They're absolutely adorable and the animals include so much detail. The patterns are easy to follow and so much fun to make and customize the colors. I will definitely be referencing this again!

⭐️rating: 4/5

I’ve been enjoying these patterns! I haven’t made them all, but they’re all definitely cute.

I started with the cute reindeer and, though there were formatting issues in my copy, I still found the pattern pretty easy to follow and it’s turned out well. They are larger than I expected as I was thinking these would be smaller amigurumi, but they’re still cute! I’ll just need more yarn to make it through these patterns.

The beginning of the book also had some really nice and useful sections that are handy to reference. From materials, tools, techniques, stitches, etc I think everything is well-covered.

I hope the rest of the patterns turn out as well!

Thanks to NetGalley and Fox Chapel Publishing for the advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What a cute book! The designs in here are absolutely adorable - I love them all. Each animal is bursting with character. There’s a brilliant ‘how to’ intro section on crochet,, making this book suitable even if you’re a beginner. The accompanying sketches give you fantastic visuals for how to complete each stitch. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Fox Chapel Publishing, Landauer Publishing and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

These are cute designs. The little clothes are fun. The book has information on Materials - yarns, crochet hooks, & eyes and noses. Stitches and assembly are also covered. There are pictures of the completed project along with pictures of the work at various stages. I like that each instruction tells you how many stitches you should end up with.

Thank you to the author, Fox Chapel Publishing, and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

I haven't had the pleasure of seeing Khuc Cay's crochet patterns before, but this book holds a wonderful collection of both common and uncommon amigurumi dolls. While I have seen dozens of mermaid patterns, for example, the mermaid in this book has cute options for the face and clothing that makes them unique. I particularly love the patterns for Heina the Mushroom and Sunny the Anglerfish!

The instructions are very clear in this book with lots of pictures to help guide you through the process. I also appreciate that there are patterns for different skill levels, rated from 1 to 3 stars. Someone could easily start with the 1 star patterns and move up to the 3 star patterns to improve their skills.

I'm looking forward to making some of these patterns soon. With 15 amigurumi to choose from, there is something for everyone.

Thank you to Fox Chapel Publishing, Landauer Publishing, and NetGalley for this advance reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wonderful World of Amigurumi offers 15 adorable Khuc Cay designs for amigurumi animals, as well as accessories.

In reading this pattern book, I decided to give the platypus on the cover a go, because I could not get over its little fishy bag and fruit hat. I've only been crocheting for a couple months, but most of that time has been spent doing amigurumi, so I found this pattern fairly straightforward and clear. The photos along the way helped me decipher some of the more complicated bits that my newbie brain struggled to decipher from the written pattern, and I'm happy to say that I am now the proud owner of my very own amigurumi platypus with a fruit hat and fishy bag! This was such a fun pattern to do, and I'm quite excited to try out others from the book. I'd definitely recommend this for someone who loves amigurumi and is on the hunt for unique, adorable patterns.

"Wonderful World of Amigurumi" by Khuc Cay is a treasure trove of adorable creations that are sure to delight crafters of all levels. Khuc Cay's clear instructions make it easy to bring these charming animals to life.

The book begins with basic crochet and embroidery instructions, perfect for beginners. Khuc Cay also provides a list of supplies needed for each project, including her preferred yarn brands. Her tips, such as adding blush to the cheeks for extra cuteness, are a lovely touch. She also offers advice on resizing projects for a personalized touch.

Each amigurumi pattern is introduced with a description of the animal's personality, adding a delightful narrative element. The instructions are detailed, including difficulty level, tools required, finished size, and yarn suggestions. The book encourages creativity by suggesting color variations and showcasing different sizes of the same pattern.

Throughout the book, Khuc Cay demonstrates techniques like creating seamless socks/stockings and boots, as well as simple stitches for intricate outfits and decorations. The visual instructions and clear explanations make it easy to follow along and expand your crochet skills.

Whether you're new to crochet or looking to expand your skills, "Wonderful World of Amigurumi" offers a delightful journey into the world of crochet animals, with plenty of tips and inspiration along the way.

This book has got to have some of the cutest creations that I have ever seen. Each one is so darling and special in its own way. Thankfully, Khuc Cay has provided great instructions that make it easy to create these special animals.

She starts with basic instructions on how to crochet and even embroidery work. Of course, she provides a list of which types of supplies you will need to finish these projects, as well as which brands of yarns that she likes to work with. There are also great tips such as putting blush on the cheeks of your creations to increase their cuteness factor. She also gives tips on how to make them bigger if you would like.

Before the instructions for each amigurumi, she tells you a little bit about its personality. For instance, the picture on the cover of the book is of Onni the Platypus and he likes to hang out near the water eating ice cream.

The instructions include information on who it is rated for (beginner, intermediate, advanced), the tools you will need, the completed size, and the yarns you will need. You always have the option to change the colors of the yarn to make it more personalized. In fact, for Felipe the Fennec Fox, she provides you with two color palettes to show the possibilities. On Keiko the Crocodile's instructions, she demonstrates creating two different sized animals with the same pattern.

I just really can't get over how adorable these creatures are. Even Sunny the Anglerfish is cute (and they are very ugly in real life!).

I loved looking through this book and seeing some cute amigurumi! I will be making some of these in my free time!

So cute ! Pretty models, original, very well explained patterns, very beautiful photos, a very good book for very nice amigurumis

This book looks amazing for beginner in amigurumi (I´m including myself here). There are so many figures that you can create with this book, all with their own step by step instructions. All of them are very original and really, really, really cute, which I appreciated a lot! <3

I formed a love of crocheting over the pandemic and this book is a great addition to crocheting blankets and hats. It is easy to follow and the results are so cute!

Khuc is an experienced designer, with their own website and many adorable pattern on Ravelry (Ravelry: Pattern Search). This book is clear and informative, with very cute patterns. It begins with a comprehensive introduction to this style of crochet, including what tools the crafter needs, and continues to detailed, well written patters. Mainly the design (of both the projects and the book) feels clean, like a craft space just after it's been tidied, when you are ready to sit down and start working or playing.
The patterns themselves are for very cute creatures, including an anthropomorphic mushroom, adorable monkey and an anglerfish that I really want to make.

I read this during the (thankfully brief) period when I was able to crotchet but not knit due to an injury, and it was very comforting to know that there is still so much cuteness and fun in the crafting world.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the e-Arc.

this is such a charming book! there's well-written intro sections with great instructions for the basics and all of the amigurumi themselves are adorable. I will say that I did some modifications when crocheting the mushroom––the cap was weirdly sized, so I did another round on it––but besides that this was great! highly recommend for anyone wanting to make some cute amigurumi creations (especially the mermaid).

The instructions and pictures are clear and easy to follow, even for someone at the late beginner/barely intermediate level. The designs are also extremely cute which is a big selling point
