Animal Friends of Pica Pau: Gather All 20 Colorful Amigurumi Animal Characters

This is the third book I’ve bought from this author and I am so impressed with the quality of the books. They are all so beautiful with plenty of pictures, stitch guides, easy to follow patterns and a variety of new stitches. I’ve made quite a few of the patterns and they all turn out exactly like the picture. I love that the coloring if the animal is all in one layer (instead of making the eye patches in separate pieces and sewing them on for example). I can appreciate how much work went into all of these patterns. I highly recommend any of these PicaPau books.

Love this book! I've made 6 of the characters, the pig, frog, alligator, gazelle, the bear and the unicorn. Want to make the otter, hippo, llama, puffin, wolf, donkey and the bat. That's 13 out of 20 of the patterns, I don't think I've ever made so many patterns from any one book in ANY of my crafting! The patterns are extremely well written, and the info at the front of the book should take care of most questions you might have before starting or examples that will make things more clear. The photos in this book are amazing and very helpful. I can't say one negative thing about this book and I will be buying her next two Pica Pau books as well.

I love this book. What a bargain to get all these cute patterns for $18. Amigurumi is relatively new to me. I made the frog first and now the dragon. They turned out great! The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The book offers good general instructions and good pictures, which I love. This is a beautiful book just to look at and have in your library. It's hard to find unusual little creatures to crochet and I'm bored with the same baby type animals. These are different and weird and so cute. My grandchildren went crazy picking out which one they wanted first. One last thing is that I wanted to learn something new and with this book I am learning many new things and that's what makes it so exciting and fun to work on. Be sure and get yourself a thin good quality yarn (not the bulky cheap stuff). I actually ordered mine from Lithuania off Etsy for $2 per skein! Beautiful colors and $5 shipping. Amazing and they are perfect for something like this.

This amigurumi artist is one of the best! Instructions are easy to follow and very clear. I have successfully completed 5 from this book.

This book was recommended to me by a YouTube channel and now I can see why so many people enjoy these books so much. The addition of giving the patterns names and short bios makes me feel more connected to the animal I’m crocheting, this book is why I now prefer to use crochet patterns with names attached to the animals. So far, I have only been able to make George (been stash busting through my older yarn) and I’m extremely pleased with how he turned out. My only complaint, and a very minor one at that, I didn’t find the pictures very helpful. The book’s layout is very pretty, it could probably stand as a art/picture book to non-crocheters it’s that fun to flip through. However, I think that we lose some potentially useful pictures in that layout. For instance, I would’ve loved to see the back of the piece. When I made the tail, I had no idea if it was accurate since there isn’t a photo of the tail or the tail going into the shorts. This may not be an issue for the other patterns but just something I noticed with this one. And this doesn’t at all change my positive opinion with the book, it’s very well crafted and the patterns are very well written. I have her second book as well and I look forward to seeing her next book.

A wonderful book, original and charming characters, precise instructions, a real pleasure.

I have really enjoyed looking at these books. I say "books" because I bought all three. The instructions are so clear and I have learned new crochet techniques. The author has done a great design job on all the animals. I have already started the fox and the lobster.

I have had SO much fun learning from all her books! I love that the author uses correct terminology with stitches and project steps and the full color photos really help with making sure you’re on the right path. I teach 1st grade and I started making these and giving them away to our underprivileged students so they would have a stuffed animal.

Love this book. Patterns comes with lots of details and any newbie crocheter can create amigurumi with detailed instructions. Happy to receive this book in India. Excellent packing and delivery on time.

All Pica Pau books are excellent. They have detailed instructions which are easy to follow. Very happy with the book.

Il design di questi amigurumi è davvero unico, il libro è davvero molto interessante. Ci vuole una minima conoscenza dei punti base di uncinetto , e poi si possono realizzare tutti i progetti.

Muito bom e didático esse livro. Todos os bichinhos ficam lindos

I love this book!
