100 Micro Amigurumi: Crochet Patterns and Charts for Tiny Amigurumi (PB)

A collection of 100 patterns for teeny tiny crochet amigurumi - microgurumi. This is amigurumi crochet on a tiny scale - make the smallest fruit and veg, sealife creatures and wizards and dragons with this imaginative collection. In ten themed chapters including About Town, Fruit & Veg, Sealife, Space, Fairy Woodland, Back To School, Travel, Animals and Food, you will find 10 different amigurumi patterns in each chapter. With this collection of crochet patterns you can choose your favourites from the cutest fungi to a teeny tiny lady bird from the Fairy Woodland chapter through to a miniscule sea serpent or magical wizard from the Myth & Legend chapter. Amigurumi on this scale can be used to create a variety of tiny projects. They can become charms, jewellery, keyrings or even dollhouse decorations. The projects are made using a variety of hook sizes ranging from 0.5mm through to 1.5mm. However, the projects can also be scaled up by using a larger hook and thicker thread for bigger amigurumi. The book contains specific instructions for working at such a small scale including the best ways to hold the thread and hook and how to embroider faces and expressions and adding hair, which really brings the amigurumi to life. You can also find advice about reducing and increasing stitches, counting stitches when working small and how to change colour mid-row, and specific advice about crocheting in rounds and how to stuff the tiny amigurumi. As well as the written patterns for all the amigurumi, there are charts for any flat pattern sections as well as detailed instructions and step-by-step photography and artworks for all the special techniques and stitches such as finishing off and weaving in ends.
