YARN SUB - Aug 2022In some ways, I found making my bird—I chose the puffin—easier than any crochet pattern I'd tried before. There are no charts to worry about and I found the pattern instructions straightforward to follow. All but one of the nine separate pieces started with an adjustable ring, for which there are simple instructions in the book. After that, it's pretty much just single crochet (double crochet in UK terminology) worked in the round.Increasing and decreasing according to the pattern instructions allows you to make all the different shapes required.So am I an amigurumi convert? Yes. I found the process addictive. Each piece of my puffin was so small that it only took 15 minutes or so to get another one done. And I've already had three requests from family and friends for puffin keyrings!What about the book? Would I recommend Mini Amigurumi Birds? Yes, if you have basic crochet experience. For a start, the book is very reasonably priced for 25 different bird patterns. Even after one bird I feel like I've had my money's worth. I found the patterns and technique instructions well-written and easy to understand. However, I don't think this would be the right book for someone who's never done any crochet before. The descriptions of the techniques are short and there aren't many accompanying pictures. There's also not much background information on things like yarn and hooks. While this is fine for a lapsed crocheter who just needs some reminders, I think a complete beginner would appreciate more in-depth support. Having said that, I think you'd only need to learn a few basics from YouTube and then you could move onto this book without a problem.
