Love crochet and loved getting to dive into the patterns within this book. If you’re a total beginner you may need some tutorials before diving into these patterns. Looking forward to making all the little critters eventually and had fun with the ones I did complete.

Amigurumi Critters by Amy Ting is an absolute delight for anyone who loves crochet and cute animals. The book offers 25 imaginative critter designs, from familiar favorites like penguins and pandas to more unexpected choices like axolotls and capybaras.

The instructions are well-organized and easy to follow, with helpful step-by-step photos and even QR codes linking to videos for some projects. I especially appreciated how the patterns are sorted by skill level, making it easy to start simple and work your way up. Amy Ting’s warm teaching style shines through, and each critter feels like it has its own personality.

The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that absolute beginners might still need to learn the basics elsewhere before diving in, and a few projects could benefit from more in-progress photos.

Overall, this is a fun, confidence-boosting crochet book that will leave you with an adorable collection of handmade friends. Highly recommend for anyone with a love of yarn and whimsy!

I love to crochet and I ended up finding quite a few fun things in this book to create. I would recommend this book to any crocheter (new or experienced) that is looking to create cute little animals to keep for themselves to give as gifts!

A fun and helpful guide to crocheting amigurumi animals packed full of patterns that I can’t wait to try! The book opens with guidance that makes this a book a beginner could pick up — or perhaps someone who has some experience crocheting, but not with making animals. Will be very popular in our library!

This was a very cute and informative book. The photography is good. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. It is a joy to read. I'm still working on Gertrude the Grumpy Chick, but I'd recommend this book.

The crochet Amigurumis in this book were very cute and very easy to create. The instructions were clear and beginner friendly. I bought this book to crochet small animals for my kids and even though I haven't crocheted in years, it was perfect for me to jump right in.

Adorable x 1000. This is so much fun and perfectly what everyone needs in their lives. Thank you for the opportunity!

Cuteness overload in every stitch 🐾🧶

A gorgeous collection with a bunch of impossible-not-to-love animals. Every single one is packed with personality... I honestly want to make them all!

The patterns are clear, easy to follow, and full of charm, making them perfect for beginners and seasoned makers alike. Beautifully presented and joyfully creative, it’s the kind of book that makes you reach for your hook straight away. Five stars from me!

This book is an absolute delight, showcasing a charming and wonderfully curated collection of amigurumi critter patterns. What sets this book apart is the clarity and simplicity of the instructions; they are incredibly easy to follow, making it an exceptional resource for amigurumi enthusiasts, whether they are seasoned crafters or just beginning their creative journey.

This is a cute and fun crochet book. Thank you NetGalley for the arc! I found the patterns easy to understand, though challenging for a beginner.. I think I'll work my way up to most of these critters, but so cute! And fun projects! This could be a great gift book for someone.

This book appears to be well written and easy to understand. The patterns are super cute and I look forward to working my way through the book. Great pattern book for beginners to intermediate!

This crochet book was a fun one to test. I made the sloth, and didn't have any issues! Can't wait to make more of the animals!

This is such a fun crochet book. Thank you NetGalley for the arc. Easy to understand terminology and the cutest critters. I wouldn't recommend this for beginners who are new to amigurami. A lot of the critters require quite a bit of piecing and sewing.

5 stars.

This is a great book to find some really adorable patterns! The pictures are very clear and the instructions are easy to follow. I love that there is a difficulty level for each pattern. I loved the Otter family and the angry duck. So cute!

Thank you Cider Mill Press and NetGalley for the ARC of this book. 

Amy Ting’s Amigurumi Critters are absolutely delightful. The patterns are unique, yet simple to follow and work up fast! The QR codes for video tutorials are extremely helpful and well presented. Oh the joy of technology!!! I read the book on my phone and this allowed me to work on making my little critters on the go.

My only concern regarding the book format would be the text colouring and white background. This may be a little challenging for folks like me with eye sight issues. However, I would definitely recommend this book all levels of Crocheters!!

I have made a number of the animals now and LOVE them. My kids are loving their new little critters friends t00, the only problem is that I can't make them fast enough!

Crochet has been one of my main hobbies for the last few years, so when I saw this book, I knew I needed to read it. I can’t say much as it has a lot of ideas to make reality and it’s your job to discover them, but it has been amazing to see new ideas, as I tend to do crochet projects oriented to clothing and not to animals. I loved seeing images (super adorable ones) of the little projects and that they are organized by the level of experience, which facilitates a lot the task of choosing where to start from.

I'm thankful to Amy Ting and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and practice my crochet with this book in exchange for an honest opinion.

Adorable, Whimsical, and Wonderfully Doable!

Amigurumi Critters by Amy Ting is a crochet dream come true—whether you're brand-new to amigurumi or a seasoned yarn enthusiast looking for your next cute fix. The instructions are easy to follow with helpful step-by-step photos. I especially love the detailed instructions/photos for the faces.

Thanks to NetGalley and Cider Mill Press for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Everything you need to make a collection of stuffed animals.

This was a fun book! The instructions were clear and full of pictures to help explain some of the steps in more detail. I only had time to make one of the animals, the starfish, and it was such fun!

I would definitely recommend this to crocheters who have a little knowledge of the craft, since some of the steps were a bit more intermediate.

These look like such adorable creations and the instructions look manageable! I'm excited to dive in and make some of these super cute critters!

Amigurumi Critters is a fantastic beginners+/intermediate (re)introduction to crochet. Though, it can certainly be enjoyed by proficient crocheters thanks to the adorable patterns and inclusion of a few complex patterns. While I am proficient in pattern-reading and amigurumi crochet techniques, I found the introduction explaining terms, techniques, and materials to be very informative and well-rounded for those getting acquainted with the craft. Inclusion of QR codes leading to videos is very helpful and competitive with some of the big crochet companies right now like Woobles. I think these designs are delightful, achievable, and more versatile since they are built around a material and gauge that is accessible beyond a proprietary yarn. The sea turtles are aesthetically my favorite pattern of the book and unique within the myriad of sea turtle patterns out there. I found the accompanying video supported by the QR code to be informative and I was happy to browse other videos. The shell is simply beautiful. The pig, however, brings the most joy to my household. Overall, I’d certainly recommend this book on crochet to others. I think it’s a little on the advanced side for people absolutely brand new to crochet and won’t teach crochet, but I don’t think that’s a problem for the book. I think my only wish would be to see a small explanation on yarn size and perhaps an option to scale one or two of the simpler projects to a larger size for fun. That said, very well-rounded book, good amount of patterns, delightful designs. Thank you to NetGalley for supplying an e-ARC for my review.
