Snuggle and Play Crochet: 40 amigurumi patterns for lovey security blankets and matching toys Paperback – Illustrated, October 6, 2017

I checked this book out at my library first to see if I would like it. I loved it! The patterns are easy to follow and the products turn out extremely cute. I knew right away I needed to have my own copy and I am so glad I bought it. The bunny lovey I made is pictured.

Easy to read patterns. Love it.

I have used various pattern books to make amurigurumi, but this is my absolute favorite. I have made at least one of most of the patterns over the last couple of years. It was my first pattern book , and still the one I keep returning to.

I think this book is so cute and creative. The patterns are easy to follow and make lovely gifts. My biggest complaint is that you have to jump around the book a lot for the patterns. I wish they would have condensed the information differently. For example, the bunny has arms from the bear, but done in the color pattern of the bunny. You have to jump back and forth between the two pages. I also shortened the blanket parts on my creations.

This crochet book is well advertised. I ordered this because it was well described. Exactly what I expected. The pictures and directions are well written.

I have a number of patterns by this designer and have found them all to be easy to follow and really darling. One of the things I appreciate about this book is that it tells you exactly where to put the eyes (such as "between rows 17 and 18, 4 stitches apart...or what ever). I do not like patterns that simply say look at the photos for placement. This books is a real bargain. It includes 5 different snuggy blankets and 20..... yes, that is 20...toys. Simply make the entire animal (or one of 2 dolls) or make just the head and arms and attach to your chosen blanket. A real bargain. The book and photos are very well done with many showing just what parts should look like. I don't use charts, but found the type size fine for my 70 year old eyes.

This book is my all time favorite. I borrowed it from the Library originally and it is absolutely fantastic.

Super cute patterns! This has taken my plushie game to a whole new level. Things I liked: easy to read patterns, detailed stitch instructions, and finishing tips. Things I don't like: I don't like having to flip through the book to find the instructions for each piece. If you were trying to save money on paper, eliminate the pattern diagrams and type out the instructions for each plushie.I did find myself having to tweak all the blanket patters despite my gauge being on point. However, after being a crocheter for over 20 years, I find myself tweaking all the patterns I use.
