Crochet and textile designer Knudsen (Amigurumi Farmyard) offers a book that’s perfect for crochet or amigurumi beginners. Her book contains four patterns to create a rabbit family of four, and there are even extra options to create holiday wardrobes for them. If readers want to introduce someone to the art of making amigurumi or learn about it themselves, this is a good, yet not overwhelming, guide. The author provides all of the stitches that are essential for creating each project, and there’s also additional information that shows readers how to change yarn colors and even make small pompoms for the clothes. Readers will discover that creating four similar patterns is a good way to refine their skills or practice new ones. Some readers, especially the ones newer to creating amigurumi, may find themselves wanting more in-progress pictures of each project so that they can gauge whether they’re doing things correctly. But the book otherwise presents solid instructions.
