Super-Cute Crochet: Make Your Own Amigurumi Family
By Nicki Trench
Published by Cico Books
ISBN: 978-1906525392

This is a truly lovely book. As the title tells you, the crochet projects within are all ‘Super Cute’! The little creations are known as Amigurumi. As part of the book, each creature is given a loving back story, such as Alan the Lion, who is part of a Ska Band and perfectly pictured in their environments, adding even more to the cuteness. Our personal favourites are the Kitten Mrs Mittens, and Camilla the Horse!

The reader will be inspired to look at their ‘rubbish’ differently, and make them think before throwing something away.
