Praise for Amigurumi Style Crochet

“This little slip of a book from crochet designer Medus will delight crafters. Using the Japanese style of amigurumi, which involves “working in a spiral without closing off each round with a slip stitch,” Medus presents plans for creating two dolls, Betty, a “1950s housewife, stylish to a tee” and her cat, Bert, along with accessories for both. . . . Medus provides shortcuts that make creating Betty somewhat easier. . . . It’s this attention to detail that makes the book enjoyable.” —Publishers Weekly
