Hey guys!
Just wanted you all to know that I just bought this book! I'll be sure and
share when it gets here.
Also, just to let you know .... for the true amigurumi 'look' .... eyes are
set wide apart, low on face, and mostly the head is larger than body.
It's really quite easy ... I don't even follow a pattern most times ....
they're done in the round ... just a ball for head (larger than you plan the
body), a small oval for the body, smaller ovals for arms and legs ... stuff
and sew together. Then I just dress, or decorate in various ways.
Eyes are black beads ... or you can use the plastic or glass animal eyes.
Nose and mouth are either stitched on with embroidery thread ... or there is
no mouth or nose ... up to you.
Hugs,
Dee

I posted this info previously, but did a re: , and so am making it easier
for all interested to find;
If you want an english pattern booklet you can get one from this ebay
seller, she self-publishes her great crochet patterns. (please do respect
her copyright.)
How to Crochet Adorable Amigurumi Animals
http://stores.ebay.com/Gourmet-Crochet
This booklet is nicely printed and easy to use. No charts for the designs,
just written directions.
I do not have a personal interest in this and receive no discounts or
other consideration for referrals. I hope nobody is offended that I posted
a commercial link.
the above seller has the least expensive amigurumi pattern collection that
I know of, all others I have seen are one-offs, or are in Japanese (most
Japanese books have very clear charts, experienced crocheters should find
them easy to use)
search ebay for amigurumi and you will find Japanese books.
I have not seen knitted designs, but they are stitched in rounds, maybe
you would able to transpose?
Jean
