Textured Huggable Amigurumi by Kristi Simpson

Make your amigurumi friends bigger, fluffier, and even more huggable!

With the textured stitches you'll learn in this book, you can create animals with even more personality and panache! Use twisted stitches to make Sally the Sheep's coiled fleece, crocodile stitches for Flapper the Owl's textured wings, loop stitches for Luke the Llama's fluffy coat, and more! By using bulky weight yarn and larger hooks, these lovable animals work up quickly and sit around 16 inches tall. They're the perfect size to become a child's favorite stuffed friend with plenty of opportunities for creative color choices to personalize each pattern.

Whether you're crocheting a forever friend for yourself, a child, or a new baby, these adorable animals are just right for cuddles!
