Tasty Cute

(back cover) Tasty Cute 25 Amigurumi Gourmet Treats Crochet and knitting enthusiasts are discovering amigurumi--the popular crochet craze from Japan that uses the double ring technique for making tiny, cuddly, and very unusual crocheted toys and novelties. In her series of amigurumi books, author Annie Obaachan presents detailed directions for crocheting eye-catching toys, animals, and other items that will delight children and amuse friends. In Tasty Cute her focus is on colorful imitation food items--a miniature pizza, a tiny bright red apple, a hot dog with ketchup and mustard, a jelly roll, and 21 additional creations that look very much like tasty things to eat but are made entirely of yarn. You'll begin these fun projects by learning basic amigurumi techniques. Next you'll find step-by-step instructions for each creation, complemented with large color illustrations of the finished piece.
