Pica Pau 3 is my first amigurumi book ever! Since I received it in January, I made Indiana Moth and I am currently working on Olivia Rosemary Mouse. The design are so smart, and they are so much fun to make! I am also learning a lot.
That's wonderful!! Love those patterns so much!! 💗💗💗
Where can I get a copy
I have been a pattern tester for both her first "Animal Friends of Pica Pau" book where I made Murray the Sea Otter as well as the newly published third one for which I crocheted Mabel the Hedgehog. All the other ones are on my to-do list as well but you know, there's never enough time to make all the cuties you wanna make...
That's amazing!!! What an honor to be part of something so special! There is never enough time!! ❤️❤️❤️
Élise I adore you, you bring me so much Joy !
Awww! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all the tips and tricks extremely helpful:)
You're so welcome!! 🧶🧶🧶
Im 10 years old and I love watching your video and patterns I have only made Victor frog from the first book but I am on my second year of crocheting and I am currently working on go George platypus
That is amazing!!!! 👏👏👏
I have Picapau 1 and 2 too, can’t wait for 3. I Love your Videos. Much Love from Germany (Black Forest) 19 year old Girl (amigurumi obsessed) 🌼🤍
Thank you so much!! That's wonderful that you're enjoying amigurumi at your age!! ❤️❤️❤️
Guten tag Viktoria. I lived in Schwabish Hall way back in the 60's for a year. It was an adventure coming from California. Loved every minute of being there.
I bought the first 2 Pica Pau books after I saw them on one of your videos and picked up book 3 as soon as it was available! So far I've made Nira Tigress, Gertrude Dragon, and started on Audrey Gazelle. When I finally got the 3rd book, I made Greta Hen as a gift for my niece in size 10 crochet cotton so she is little. It hurt my hands at a few points but it came out so cute! I really want to make Cosmo Snail since it is so unique. I'm so glad you share these designers and your crocheted toys. I have gotten to try a lot of new patterns and they make me so happy, Pica Pau being among my favorites. ❤
That's amazing!!! Oh my goodness!! Your Greta Hen sounds incredible!! 💗💗💗
Victor Frog 🐸 was my first Pica Pau too! I love them all! It’s hard to choose which one to do next! ☺️💕
He is the cutest little guy ever!!! 🐸🐸🐸
Yan’s three books are all one needs to start learning Amigurumi. The seagull, bear, and cat are what I have made. My wish is that Yan’s next book is the doll and clothes. I have all three books. The whale is next.
I love all her books! I have two and have only made the donkey and the dog, I think his name is Daniel the dog. Every time you show the animal you’ve made it inspires me to get out the books and make another, but I can never decide what to make, they are all so cute!
That is the biggest problem, trying to decide which one to make!! ❤️❤️❤️
I made Daniel Jack Russell in picapau 1! I learned a lot!
Such a cute pattern! 🐾
I love her patterns! I credit this series for encouraging me to make bigger amigurumi. I felt so proud of myself when I finished Philip Lobster. I’ve also made Victor Frog, Darwin Turtle, and George McPlatypus. I want to make the snail next!
Yes!! They are all sooooo cute!!! The lobster is one of my all time favorite patterns! 🦞🦞🦞
Elise, thank you for this amazing and inspiring video! Keep bringing more love and joy into our world through your wonderful Amigurumi projects. They are absolutely delightful!!!
Thank you so much!!! I had so much fun making this video!! 🧶🧶🧶
i have already ordered! i love pica pau!
They are such great patterns!! ❤️❤️❤️
I received all three books for Christmas!! This weekend I am starting Ramón Donkey, Javier Goat, and Horacio Polar Bear. I can’t contain my excitement of these books! Thank you for these tips! Your videos are packed with so much information and fun! I recommend your channel any chance I get! ❤❤❤
Awww! Thank you!! Have fun with your projects!! 🧶🧶🧶
PicaPau’s animal books have a special place on my bookcase! I’ve made the dachshund, panda and bear. Explanations and photos are really helpful. The hardest part is choosing which one next! They are all so adorable and fun to create.
They really are so adorable! 🧶🧶🧶
I just ordered the book and the safety eye…. Installer? 😂 thank you for your excitement and inspiration! I LOVE your videos and look forward to them each week.
Awww! Thank you!! I hope you will love the book and safety eye tool as much as I do!! 🧶🧶🧶
I have all of her books. my favorite is the alligator that I made a few of and also the frog . So far I have made at least 6 of them ,working on the sea horse now. You introduced me to her books and I learned so much.
I really do feel like I learned how to crochet amigurumi from those books!! 🧶🧶🧶
I thank YOU for showing me the Animal Friends of Pica Pau Vol 1 when I started watching your channel when I learnt to crochet in 2020! I've made 5 designs from the first book: the bat, the donkey, the rhino, the Wolf, two puffins! And I'm currently working on the dragon!!
And my Fiancé is getting me Vol 3 for my birthday!! I'm most excited for the rabbit and the fox to recreate Judy and Nick from Zootopia! I'm gonna have to get vol 2 at some point to complete the set!
That's wonderful!! Those are such great patterns! ❤
I’ve been crocheting now for about 5 years. But I am new to amigurumi…my kids got me a huge crochet bag filled with yarns and gift cards and one little amigurumi book. I had never heard of it before. At first I thought that crocheting little toys was not for me. I found your channel accidentally a few days after Christmas. It was about overrated crochet tools and which ones you recommended to invest in. I loved that video. There I heard you talk about amigurumi so I had to learn more. By the end of the day I started working on your hamster. The following week I made your girl bunny. I ordered Pia Pau 1 and made the Rene the alligator. She turned out so cute. I am now working on Charles the woodpecker. I am learning a lot with this little guy.
That's awesome! I learned so much from the Animal Friends of Pica Pau patterns too. They are so adorable too!! ❤
I’ve bought all 3 after seeing yours on the shelves. They are all so cute
They really are adorable!! 💗💗💗
Great tips! Especially the tip about reducing hook size to tighten stitches more easily…saving hand pain. Worsted weight yarn & 2.75 mm hook for my next amigurumi! Thank you! ❤
I have always used a worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook, but I'm now wondering if I should experiment with going down to the 2.75 hook too! ❤
Have 2,3,making my 1st right now.
That's wonderful!! 👏👏👏
I bought books 1 and 2 because of your earlier videos raving about them. While I found the patterns to be challenging, the end results were amazing. I’ve made the bat and the pig, and they are two of the best toys I’ve made to date.
That's what is so great about the patterns, they are so well written that the finished toy looks just like the pictures! ❤
Thought you should know….. you, and you’re channel is what I credit with my making amigurumi. I’d made a few things, made lots of mistakes, almost gave up. Watched your channel…..
And thanks to your upbeat demeanor, and delightful comments about making mistakes, keeping those wonky toys as learning tools, and just keep going and learning. Well that really touched me and gave me the confidence to keep going. I hope to make well loved toys for all the kiddos I can. Thanks sooo….. much Elise!
I have all 3 books and find them the best amigurumi pattern books. I've made Puffin and Lion, frog as a girl in tu tu, just like yours, the bee and little kitten. Greta the hen is one of my favourite patterns from the new book, apart from the moth, and I'm half way finished making her. Another lovely video from you, Elise, thank you.
That little moth is soooo adorable!!! Such gorgeous patterns!! ❤️❤️❤️
I already made the lemur (was my first toy from pica pau and my second toy at all) and it turned out sooooo cute. I am so proud of myself 😊 the book is so well written and easy to understand. As a German I use the English book since Ibdon't like the German instructions.
I would totally recommend this book!
That's wonderful!! You should definitely feel very proud of yourself!! 👏👏👏
I received my copy of “Animal Friends of Pica Pau” (book 1) today and I’m delighted with it… thank you so much for the inspiration 🦄
That's amazing!! ❤️
It would also be fantastic if a QR code is included within the book, that also leads you to a full video tutorial for each project
Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for your flog thanks to you i'am started this lovely hobby I'am busy with a pattern from Lena Delva iT will be an angel
That's wonderful! Happy Stitching! ❤
OHHHH MY GOSH!! There is a Hen!! ❣, Cosmo Snail is really cute. Thank you for sharing little peeks at the New Pica Pau book and for this video.
Yes!!! The hen is absolutely adorable!!! ❤
I think I just collect the books for now. LOL! But I really do think they are precious and I have read her tips and tricks sections in each book. She's an amazing designer and I hope she keeps writing these fabulous books!
I hope so too! She's amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my goodness, now I know where you got your pattern ideas!! I had already ordered Pica Pau book 3!! I just received it!! I can not wait to start!! I love your Amigurumi designs and now I can proceed to make these great animals as well!! Like you have said, Amigurumi is a learn in process!! I tried making "Wednesday Addams"!! Got a couple comments that she looked more like "Olive Oyl"!! Every Amigurumi is a learning experience!!
The Pica Pau patterns are amazing!! I've learned something valuable from every single toy I've ever made!! Good luck to you!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have just ordered my own one this week.. I'm getting nr 2 for now and later on nr 3. Can't wait... My first amigurumi book... Thx for the tips today... 🤍
You will love the books!! They are wonderful and just fun to look through! 💗💗💗
Love these books!!! I just finished Greta Hen and she is adorable. Yan's patterns are so well written that all of the Pica Pau I have made look just like the pictures. So far, I have made a total of 5 Pica Pau between the 3 books and the next one will be the hippo...so much squishy goodness in that design.
That is so true. Her patterns are so well written and designed that every toy looks exactly like the picture! ❤💓❤
Thank you for introducing Animal Friends of Pica Pau to me. I bought the first and second book a few years ago and made a list of all the animals I wanted to make. I finally got around to making my first one!! I made Charles the Woodpecker. I loved making him, and I used yarn overs to save my wrists but he came out a little twisted looking. So i want to make him again with yarn unders to see if that makes a difference. I already bought the 3rd book and I plan on making Peggy the Hippo next. Eventually I'll make most of them. I love your channel!!
I love the Peggy the Hippo pattern!! So cute!!! 💗💗💗
All of your amigurumi toys are perfectly executed. You especially do a wonderful job on their faces. While I can do other projects (non-animal) to a “T,” I feel a person needs to be “artistic” to make good faces on animal toys. I’ve not got that talent and I struggle with that part. It’s sad to spend so much time on the toy just to end up having the face look pathetic.
I looked at the 3.5 mm Furls Odyssey but passed because I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much, but I did get the Clover Brand one you showed, and I really do like it. I appreciate your helpful suggestions! Thank you!
For the face I spend a lot of time fussing with it. I rip it out and start again when it doesn't look quite right. We are always so hard on our own creations, I bet yours are much better than you think they are! I'm so glad you like your Clover hook! 🧶🧶🧶
Absolutely in love with the pica pau patterns! I made Robin the unicorn several times already and enbroiderd little roses on top of them, so they look even cuter!
Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing!!! 🌹🌹🌹
I can't wait to be able to order this book. I've been waiting for it to be released. I have been in a blanket making mode so far this year, but you have me so excited to start on a project from one of book #1 or book #2. I love how detailed u explain what she offers in her book.
Thank you so much! The book is really a great resource!! 🧶🧶🧶
I was just poring through her books this morning! I have all 3 of them, I love her work. I’ve only made the rhino so far but am trying to decide which one to make next. So glad I found your video! Great tips, am going to try the worsted weight and 2.75 hook. My favourite combo is DK and 3mm.
I want to experiment with my hook size now too! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! ❤
I pre-ordered and got the pdf for free before its release. I made a couple of them already. I loved the snail and the hippo the most but I always do yarn over and they come out great for me! You will really enjoy this book.
There are so many amazing patterns in the book! I'm so glad to finally have it!! 💗💗💗
I love these patterns so much What great books...I love the seagull,the grizzly bear,the lobster....oh I just love them all!Now to decide which one of the 3books to buy first.☺️
Haha!!! They really are so wonderful!!! 🧶🧶🧶
I just got all 3books , got the first 2 books myself and the third one as a gift . I am so happy I got them , can’t wait to make the hen . She is my favorite overall!! You showed the tool for the eyes before, I got it than and it changed my live . A great tool to work with , thank you for showing us ❤👀
That's wonderful! That hen is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen!! And I'm so glad you liked the safety eye tool!! I seriously love mine too! ❤
I have all 3 books. Love them all!! I've only made the bat & Victor Frog 🐸
There are so many things I want to make but not enough time. 😔
I do have the snail from book 3 on my to-do list for this year. He's just so cute! 😍
I've never made the bat, but it's such a cute pattern!! 🦇🦇🦇
I love the Pica Pau books! I’ve made 2 grizzly bears, the platypus, and gazelle. Although I received the third book the day it came out I haven’t made anything from it yet! First on my list the ostrich. Also the furls hooks are life changing! I’m currently signed up to be notified when they come back in stock bc I need more!!!
Awww, the ostrich is soooooo cute!!! It's too bad they are out of stock so often! 🧶🧶🧶
I just started doing the YU technique. I tried before but found it difficult. Now I like it a lot for amigurumi (but nothing else, I’ll use YO for other projects) because when I used YO for amigurumi had to constantly pull my yarn to get the stitches tight but since YU is naturally tighter I don’t hurt my hands as nice.
That's great!! I'm so glad it works well for you! 🧶🧶🧶
I’ve made very few toys & Ive used Zoomigurumi books. I started with them because I wanted a horse pattern. Zoomigurumi 9 has a horse on the cover. One of my granddaughters crochets from Pic a Pau & after watching your video I plan to purchase these books. Thanks for your informative & wonderful reviews plus your helpful hints!!😊
Thank you so much! I don't have any of the Zoomigurumi books! I think I need them in my life, lol! ❤
I haven’t made any yet, but just bought all three books today. I am very excited about getting going. I initially watched this video many months back, but have thought about it here and there. Today was the day I decided to get started. 😊
I hope you love the books as much as I do! ❤️❤️❤️
Great video!! I have not made any of these toys but now I’m putting the books on my wish list! My birthday is coming up 😄 great tips! I didn’t realize the difference in the ‘over’ ‘under’ but I’m going to try it out! Also, I have broken 2 of the Furls hooks 😢 and they are NOT cheap. Thankfully I was able to get them replaced (Amazon) but I don’t use them for amigurumi anymore. I LOVE the clover amore hooks the best! Thanks for another fun video!!!
Me too.❤️
Oh thank you for sharing about your Furls experience! I'm glad they replaced them though. The Clover hooks really are great too (and a lot more affordable). ❤
Thank you so much. I felt down today somehow and then you came on and I felt inspiered and excited. I have started Philip lobster months ago but got stuck in row 35. I just don't get it how it works. Now I am excited again to find out how to finish it. I will just try harder. Thank you for that .
I'm so glad it made you happy! Sometimes it is best to put something away and then come back to it again at a later date!! 🦞🦞🦞
I never herd of yarn over till I watched your last video, Ive only ever done yarn under. Might have to experiment with the yarn over.
Yarn under is so great for amigurumi!! ❤️❤️❤️
Wow Elise, you've made a lot from her books! I finally got the third book this year and my favorites (of course can't pick just one) are the mouse, hippo, hedgehog, and hen. From her other books I've made Otis Sloth, Darwin Turtle, Satsuki Cat, Daniel Jack Russell, and Rene Caiman. I love them all!
That's wonderful!! They really are amazing patterns!! ❤️❤️❤️
I've made her little donkey and several of the patterns from the first book. So good!!!!
I've never made the donkey before!! He's soooo cute!!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for the review. I love the Pica Pau series. The eye setting tool is a game changer. I love your toys!
Thank you so much! I love the safety eye tool!! 🧶🧶🧶
I’ve made almost all the first book, these patterns always work out beautifully. I will order this new one soon and I will make that hen first 😊
They really do!! Such well written patterns!! 🧶🧶🧶
Wow. I need that book! And that otter!!
It's such a great book series!!! 🧶📚🧶📚
Ah……now I have to add this book to my Amazon cart! 😂 thank you I really enjoyed this video 😊
Lol! It is full of the cutest patterns!! ❤
I bought the first book about a year ago, and have made 9 different animals (I think!). Love them so much! I put book 2 and 3 on my wishlist, and got one for my birthday (November) and one for Christmas! I've made the bee and Agnus Squirrel already, and started the elephant. But my wrists are much too sore now, so I have to take another extended break😥. Meanwhile I'm cross stitching and started a braided rag rug as those aren't so hard on my wrists.
I feel your pain! I have to vary my projects otherwise I start to get sore joints as well! ❤️❤️❤️
I always see these books and am tempted but have never gotten one. It may be this year that I dive in to try making one. That frog is so cute! All of them are cute - so hard to choose. Absolutely love that you added tutus. 💗
They really are such wonderful patterns. So well written and designed!! 💗💗💗
Absolutely adorable. Thank you for the sneak peek into the new book.
I had so much fun looking through it! ❤
Loved seeing your review and tips! My husband bought me this book for Christmas and have Horacio polar bear on my “to do” list ❤ The eye tool you suggested is a lifesaver for sure, thank you. Oh - Furls still makes Odyssey hook, but you need to be on their email to stand a chance at getting one as they sell out in hours ❤
Oh wow. Thank you so much for sharing how to get a Furls Osyssey!! 🧶🧶🧶
I have both the first 2 books, and can’t wait to get this one!
They are fantastic books!!! 💗💗💗
Thanks for all your amigurumi pattern reviews. They are so inspiring for me. Can you review Kerry Lord's many crochet toy patterns? I just finished the Swan from " A Partridge in a Pear Tree." It made up quickly. I inserted a little weight in the bottom for that bean bag feel. It is so sweet! I can't keep my hands off of it! The only problem with them is that they are written in British terms, but that just means you have to understand that her double crochet is our single crochet. Otherwise, there are no changes you need to observe. Thanks!
Thank you for the suggestion!! ❤️
This is the best amigarumi video ever! So much useful information about stitches and hooks. I love amigarumi but have arthritis in my fingers so tight stitches cause pain. But maybe the under stitch will help. Thank you for so much useful information! ❤
Awww! Thank you so much!! I hope it works for you! ❤️❤️❤️
I want the book going to make one. 🎉
They are amazing patterns!! 🧶🧶🧶
Love your work! I drop whatever I’m doing when a new video comes out. I’m new to ami, but have made 2 Harry Wolves, Hector Rhino and almost finished with the pig. Love them all!
Thank you so much!! Her patterns are amazing!! ❤
Such great info! ❤ I’ve had difficulty getting the Odyssey hooks that I want in the smaller sizes. They’ve had so many sales that I’m hoping there will be a major restock soon.
I just keep hearing from people that they are always out of stock. I hope they will restock soon too! ❤️❤️❤️
I am going to purchase this book and construct Peggy Hippo, because my name is also Peggy. All of these animal toys are adorable
Oh how fun!! That pattern is adorable!!!! 💗💗💗
I actually ordered the book because of you! I saw you talking about it on your channel and immediately I knew I’d want to own it haha! I’m making victor frog. It’s a bit challenging for me as I’m brand new to amigurumi and am much more of a visual learner. But he’s turning out good so far! (Also thank you so much for all of your videos I’m currently just binging them as I crochet and they have taught me so much!)
That's awesome!!! You'll learn so much from crocheting her patterns!! Plus they are so darn cute!!! 🐸🐸🐸
LOVED this video... so much. thank you. Haven't made any yet, but, want to! love,hugs,prayers.
They are such fun patterns!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love all these sweet pals.
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so getting this for myself for my birthday tomorrow! I have the first two books and love them!
Happy Birthday to you!! 🎉🎂🥳🎁
Hello from Indiana! 😊
I have fallen in love with Amigurumi and with everything YOU!! I want to be the next Elise, but am getting so frustrated and overwhelmed. I have yet to finish an Amigurumi project because I keep finding mistakes and ripping them out. I’m also having a difficult time finding the right yarn/hook combo. I’ve watched every one of your videos and just can’t get enough!!
How long did it take you to get on track? What were the top 3 things you focused on when starting your blog?
Awww! Thank you! I approached every project as a learning opportunity and finished them even when they weren't perfect. Don't be so hard on yourself!!! Keep experimenting and have fun with it! It will come with time! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved seeing all your finished projects ❤❤
Thank you! ❤️
Great video!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So helpful!! 🙌🏼 I love her books but have definitely gotten “stuck” and put projects aside!🥲 Your tips are encouraging me to try again😀🤞🏻
Yes!! It's always good to put things away and then get back to it! ❤
Awwww 😱 thank you for this video I love it I also have all three books from animal friends of pics pau 🥰 I fell in love with them when I seen that you have them 😍and those are my first amigurumi books. I really appreciate you for making this video I needed help with how to understand those amigurumi patterns your such a blessing 🥰🙌🏼❤️ your the best Elise have a good one happy stitches ❤️😘🎊🎉
Awww! Thank you so much!! They really are such wonderful patterns!! 💗💗💗
Yes they are and I’m going to have fun enjoying them thank you so much Elise 🥰🙌🏼❤️🎉
Love love love all the animals
They are so cute!! ❤️❤️❤️
I just got it!!! Cmon, how cute is chicken?? Furious with Furls….love the Clover, so thank you for recommending!
That chicken is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen. I secretly want real chickens so I may have to make an amigurumi one to satisfy myself. Lol! 😂
Awww, you are so busy, take care of yourself!! I'm so glad you're feeling inspired! ❤️❤️❤️
I got Pica Pau 3 after Christmas and all the patterns are so cute! I’ve only made the polar bear so far and he turned out well despite having a hard time with the straps for his overalls (all those BLO slip stitches killed my wrists 🤧) I’m hoping to make the chicken one of these days as well. My favorite Pica Pau pattern I’ve made so far is the pink tiger in the second book.
Her patterns are the best!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Great tips. I will try yarn under for my next amigurumi! Thanks for sharing! 😘❤😊
Yay!! It's fun to experiment!! 🧶🧶🧶
Great tips. I'm afraid I have crocheted too long on autopilot to change to yarn under. Walmart had squishy polyester filled pillows for $3 and I suddenly thought why am I spending $12 on fiberfil? This just a fabric bag instead of a plastic bag. Now I only buy pillows
I did the same with clearance pillows at Dollar General😊
That is a fabulous tip!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤
That's such a good idea!!! ❤
I’m gonna bye the 3rd book
It's a great one!! ❤️❤️❤️
Elise, I just discovered your chanel and I can't describe how much I love every single video! Thank you so much for the great tips and ideas. Plz keep up the amazing work♡(Now to go get my own Picapau book....lol)
Awww, thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️
wow! you have already 73k subscribers! Congrats ! i've been following you for years , and I remember for long time you had like 10k and I always thought your videos so great why don't you have more subscribers ?! now you do!)
Awww! Thank you so much!! I really can't believe it either. ❤️❤️❤️
Another motivating podcast Elise! 🎉🎉
Yay! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
I have it too I love it I don't know where to start
There are so many cute patterns in it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I pattern tested the cat from Book two, but I haven't made any other critters from either book! I have them on my list for the #amibookchallenge I'm doing this year... One new pattern per month!
That is amazing!!!! What an incredible opportunity!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm currently making the Panda from the first book. Didn't know that they made two others.
I usually do yarn overs as usual when I make toys. Yarn unders get too tight. I also embroider my own eyes with a French knot. Don't trust those safety eyes.
Thanks for sharing!! The panda pattern is so cute!! 🐼🐼🐼
Bought the 1st book after seeing it on your channel. Have made Pedro pig,Victor frog,Harry wolf, Charles woodpecker, Daniel Jack Russell. Did not like the dog. Have decided I like the patterns where the body and head are made together. Will check out the 3rd book!
I like that style too. I found making them with four legs is a lot tougher. 💗
I really love how your pica pau projects turned out! Since I can’t get my hands on pica pau yarn anymore which yarn do you recommend for these particular toys?
There are so many great yarns you can use. Here's a video I made about amigurumi yarns: ruclips.net/video/Oxn_MEe1WC8/видео.html You'll also find lots of videos on my channel about different amigurumi yarns! 🧶🧶🧶
Great tips. I am about to attempt making my first amigurumi toy today. I already started and frogged what I crocheted so far, and am finding it a struggle to follow some instructions. Perhaps I should get this book, as I need more guidance ti get me started in the best manner. I quite enjoyed this video. Thanks
You can do it!!! Once you get the basics down and can wrap your mind around the construction, most toys are very similar and nothing will stop you!! Good luck! ❤️❤️❤️
I am saving up for that book ,
I wonder if the local library has a copy? ❤
@@EliseRoseCrochet
Mine doesn’t
As a beginner to animal crochet (week 2!), I've ordered this book as I love the polar bear.
I've found cotton yarns to be easiest to use so far - good stitch definition. Acrylic yarn is harder to count. I can do the magic circle & invisible decreases, but my increases go wrong after 4/5 rounds. Any tips ? I'm sure it's just practice, so I've gone back to knitting for a couple of days of much frogging🤣
Hmmm, I would just count very carefully when you're making those increases. Maybe that can help you figure out what is happening during those increases rounds. Hope that helps! 💓
I want to get the book just for the cute little penguin 🥺❤
He's soooo cute!! 🐧🐧🐧
@@EliseRoseCrochet I know right !!
I have had books 1&2 in my cart to purchase since your first video but they are so much bigger and look way more challenging than what I currently make. I love them so much with their cute clothes and
personalities. This video has encouraged me to hit that button, now which one should I choose??
They are such great patterns!! Have fun choosing which one to start with! ❤
I’m just starting with the first one
I got the new book for Christmas 😊 not made anything yet from this one x
It's such a great book! ❤
I really like this book . I made the little mouse for my granddaughter‘a birthday and she loved her ! I think I’ll make the whale next❤️…..Karen from Greenleaf Idaho😊
That little mouse makes me squeal with happiness!!! 🐭🐭🐭
@@EliseRoseCrochet she was so sweet ☺️💕
@@karensample3052 so sweet! 🐭
I have the books bc I love the look of the toys. However, I’ve never made one… which would you recommend I start with… I’d like to know your opinion,
I loved your video. Also I can’t wait to get your kittens with mittens pattern. I sure enjoyed the 3 little pigs and not so bad wolf.
Hmmmm, I started with Victor Frog and loved that pattern so much! Another great one to start with is Pedro Von Ditto Pig! 🐸🐷🐸🐷
