The book has lots of charming colour photos of finished toys for inspiration. The instructions are in American crochet terms, with no “translation” give for UK readers – however the differences are small and easy to remember if you look it up elsewhere. There are photo instructions on how to make a magic ring, change colours and fasten off but you would need to know how to do double crochet and other basic stitches. I think this book would be suitable for someone with basic crochet skills. You could easily adapt them to make your own variations. The patterns are simple instructions, many using the same basic components. There then follows patterns for 24 different characters including Purin the yellow cat, Tuxedosam the snazzy penguin, Keroppi the frog, Badtz-Maru the penguin and more. The first part of the book explains what Hello Kitty and amigurumi are, and discusses the supplies and techniques you will need. There are also some bonus downloadable extras. It contains patterns for 24 Hello Kitty themed characters. This is a small hardbook, 7.25″ square (18.5cms square). So when I spotted this adorable Hello Kitty Crochet book, well, I guess it was inevitable that it would be coming home with me. OK, I admit it, I am a bit of a fan of Hello Kitty.
