I am VERY new to crotchet and self taught, aside from an early life lesson on a chain stitch from my great aunt in the early 90s. There are definitely techniques in here that I would struggle to master, but this guide is VERY easy to understand. The photos paired with step by step directions makes this book great for beginners or long timers who want to make some cute characters and character clothes. Between the beginning "tutorial" and index bringing up the back this is a very helpful guide into Amigurumi.

I had an opportunity to receive an eARC of Khuc Cay's Wonderful World of Amigurumi.
DISCLAIMER: I am a beginner at crochet, with my previous experience coming mostly from those online crochet kits.
I really liked the diversity of the animals offered-- specifically the fox and the cat-- and all of the accessories too! The pictures were really helpful in some of the techniques I am less familiar with, they were clear and highly visible. It is obvious that Khuc put a lot of thought and love into these patterns; each animal has a background, interests, etc. that help give them life. Highly recommend for people who are both experienced with crochet, and those who are looking to expand their repertoire.

Wonderful World of Amigurumi : 15 Adorable Amigurumi Creations. This fun filled books starts with the techniques and materials needed to get started. The author includes instructions for making a magic ring, and lots of other key techniques needed for the projects. Everything is explained in step by step detail so it can be followed by all levels from beginner to advanced. The projects include a wide variety of animals all unique in style with characterful details.

I recently read the book Wonderful World of Amigurumi by Khuc Cay and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The author has a unique crochet style that is filled with personality and adorable details. Not only does she create charming animal designs, but she also adds accessories like suspenders, hats, and even capes to make superhero-themed amigurumi.

One thing I appreciated about the book is that Khuc Cay starts with a few introductory chapters that explain the necessary techniques and materials needed to get started. This includes crocheting a magic ring, modifying size, connecting elements, and tucking in wires. These tips are especially helpful for beginners.

The book features a wide variety of projects, including a bee, giraffe, mushroom, crocodile, cat, boar, ladybug, and more. Each project has a touch of realism and a bit of magical imagination that makes them all unique and charming. I particularly enjoyed the embroidery and blush details that added a whimsical touch to the finished pieces.

Overall, I highly recommend the Wonderful World of Amigurumi to anyone who loves crocheting or simply wants to try their hand at creating delightful soft toys.

I feel like this would be better in physical book form. I've gone through it in Kindle and it's just not as cute as it could be and feels very PDF rather than organized book.

Cute idead and well thought out patterns though.

I am very new to crochet and wanted to take my basic knowledge to the next level. Making Amigurumi's are very popular right now. This book is chock full of very cute projects. It includes step-by-step graphics and instructions to make each one. The language is very simple and easy to understand. A great book for a beginner or advanced crocheter.
I received a complimentary copy of this book, opinions express in the review are solely my own.

"Wonderful World of Amigurumi" is a new collection of 15 cute anthropomorphized amigurumi animals (plus a single mushroom and a mermaid!). From bees and anglerfish to crocodiles and giraffes, the pattern collection has something to offer to just about anybody. I'm especially keen on trying out the platypus myself... a platypus with a hat and sweater? What's not to like!

All the patterns have a ton of details, making them perhaps a bit time-consuming and fiddly to make, but the end project is so worth it, as they all look really, really cute.

Each pattern comes with a detailed introduction of yarn used, and expected size at the given gauge, and the instructions are very clear and with lots of photos along the way. I'd perhaps not recommend it to a beginner, as there are a LOT of details to each pattern, but the book includes an introduction of which yarn to choose and what hook to use, as well as a complete glossary with all the stitches to use, and tips and tricks for people new to amigurumi, so who knows - these cute animals may be just the push some people need, to get started crocheting toys.

This is a supper cute and well laid out Amigurumi book. I loved that it took me through beginning till ending. The photography of different stitches were shoot very well with tan colored yarn that was supper easy to see. There was also a really good mix of different creatures to make. The only thing I didn’t like about the Amigurumi is some are designed with the clothes built in. I prefer when the clothes are separate and can be changed up. But all in all I love this book. Would recommend to anyone ready to dive into more advanced Amigurumi.

I am very, VERY new to crocheting and am particularly interested in Amigurumi, so when I saw this, I knew I had to give it a shot. I am thrilled with this title and will be purchasing the hardcover when it comes out. The step by step pictures are fantastic and the breadth of options is quite nice. Wonderful, wonderful book.

This is absolutely adorable! I'd say it could be a bit hard for beginners and I'd recommend it more for intermediate crocheters and amigurumi-makers. The patterns are easy to follow and the photo quality is great. The beginning of the book shows the basics, as well as do's and don'ts. In this book you can find some more unique animals like a boar, a male ladybug or an anglerfish. The layout of the book is very clean, easy to follow and colorful and definitely makes you want to grab all your yarn and supplies and start (I want to make Heina the mushroom first).

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

An excellent book for improving your amigurumi crochet skills ! I haven't tried out all the patterns yet, but they're all so cute ! It may be a little difficult for beginners, though. Thanks for this great discovery !

This is a delightful book for Amigurumi lovers and those wishing to learn. It contains not only 15 cute patterns, but the author has also taken the time to clearly explain with words and pictures the steps to complete – from starting with basic steps to adorable finishing touches. I would recommend this book to someone wanting to explore the world of Amigurumi crochet. Excellent work.

Disclosure: I received this book free via NetGalley. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review.

this is LOVELY! The patterns are easy to follow and they're so so cute!

I'm also happy to have the basic stitches explained at the beginning of this book as I'm a beginner. It's lovely to just go back a few pages and get reminded about how to do it again.

I'll just go ahead and say this cover had me love at first sight! I have been crocheting for a while, but this book could be for an adventurous beginner because there are detailed instructions in the front, Even for as long as I have crocheted, sometimes I need a little reminder for how to do things. There are great photos, for both the instructions part and the staged finished animals! There are so many great creatures, a bunch I don't usually see in crochet books. The only thing I saw that I didn't like is the amount of color changing. It is my arch nemesis 😂 I would not let that scare you away, though. I would recommend buying this book in actual copy if you can, just for the nice color photos. I read it in kindle and it presented pretty well.

This book is perfect! The patterns are very easy to read and I can understand them. I love all the designs too! the pictures in the book are nice and clear.

This book has so many cute Amigurumi projects not only with unique animal projects, but each animal has fun accessories and a name! I love the personality each of these projects.

Fun book with cute patterns that were fairly easy to read and do. I’m excited to try a few more and to see what my mom can do as she’s more skilled than I am.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook.
These are absolutely so cute. I am going to make a few of these little guys for presents. They are whimsical and adorable. The instructions look very well written and easy to do. I think these are medium to advance crocheter's.

Having the table of contents all of the creatures was a really cute idea. The art is adorable I cannot wait to make some of these. Instructions are very clear, the patterns are not the same thing I have seen a dozen times. Super cute.

5 stars

Great book of crochet patterns. Easy to read and the pictures were very helpful! I and making the little mushroom man as my first project. I took off a star because I wish that the different patterns had been broken up into chapters. Hopefully because this was an ARC book the formatting is just off. Overall a well written pattern book!
