No-Sew Mini Amigurumi: 40 Crochet Patterns for Super Cute, Super Small Plushies

Love this book! It is the first one I go to when playing with new yarn. I adore the axolotl pattern, which is what mainly got me into trying Amigurumi. I plan to make an axolotl in all the color/types of yarn! Though maybe not that cocoon yarn because it scares me. The patterns are fairly easy to follow as long as you have basic stitch understanding and I'm still very new to Crochet. The book will not teach you the basics but is a wonderful buy after first learning to slip stitch, single crochet and of course the magic ring. There are lovely photos, along with written instructions to help with some specialty stitches it does teach for example: the Bobble Stitch. The book claims no-sew which is mostly true, unless someone nitpicks that sewing in the tail end of the yarn after finishing with a pattern still counts. I would have to say is then about 99.9% no-sew. Mainly the no-sew means that none of the pieces of the pattern are individually sewed on after in normal Amigurumi assembly. Instead, the pieces are crocheted as you go with the pattern. All the patterns are super cute, and I look forward to eventually doing them. I've only done the Axolotl, Jellyfish (which was the hardest for me cause working in back loops confused me), Mushroom and the Cow. I would highly recommend this book and Author for anyone with interest in Crochet. I haven't learned Knitting yet, but I'm sure the patterns could also be adapted for those that Knit. Shout out to the Author! Thank you for making this lovely book and all the hard work you put in to make the patterns♥ Looking forward to more of your work!

I crocheted every plushie in this book as a challenge for the last couple weeks of the year and absolutely fell in love with every plush I made! This book is very clearly written with adorable patterns. I was slightly wary seeing the comments about mistakes in the patterns, but they’ve updated the book since so each pattern followed turned out exactly as pictured. Highly recommend, even beginners would be able to make great use of this book in helping learn amigurumi since there’s a few very simple patterns for learning (bee, snake, caterpillar) as well as some more challenging patterns. Overall a great book for anyone crocheter who’d want to make some fuzzy friends!

This is a great book with a lot of patterns. The patterns are well written and easy to follow. And the projects turn out so cute! Than you Gena for an awesome book!

This is truly a wonderful book. The figures are surprisingly easy to make, with very clear and simple instructions. Despite the simplicity, the designs look highly professional, creative, and wonderfully varied. It is genuinely impressive how well the balance between price, appearance, and effort has been achieved. The overall quality and value are outstanding.

I’m absolutely in love with No Sew Mini Amigurumi by Genna Tatu! As someone who is relatively new to amigurumi, this book is absolutely perfect! The instructions are so clear and easy to follow, making it a great choice even for beginners. I love how quickly these adorable mini creations come together, and the best part is that there’s no sewing involved! The designs are simple yet so charming, and I love how customizable they are. I can’t wait to experiment with different color combinations and add fun glittery eyes for a little extra sparkle. This book is perfect for crafting cute gifts, and I’m already planning to make some of these little stuffies for my kids and family. A big congratulations to Genna Tatu on releasing her first book! I can tell a lot of thought and care went into every pattern. I’m so excited to continue creating with this awesome book. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to dive into the world of amigurumi!

Love this book. Quick makes and they turn out great!

I absolutely LOVE Genna Tatu's crochet patterns and have already already made 4 of the patterns from her book. I highly recommend this book if you love to crochet amigurumi and live easy no-sew patterns!

The book errors have been fixed! At least the copy I received didn’t have the errors I saw posted in someone else’s review. I loved having such a solid base for my own modifications of the pattern. I tried the Dragon pattern, and I could follow it. I’ve only been crocheting for about 2 years and recently made the jump to chunky yarn. I struggled a little, but that’s because I changed the pattern. The known troubles were clearly warned about in the instructions. And they were helpful. For instance, the need to shift stitches when things weren’t centering. My project turned out great! I’m proud of it, and can’t wait to try the other patterns from this book. The opossum is adorable!
