Amigurumi characters are small, personalised, crocheted mascots. This is a hobby that is becoming increasingly popular, and Emily's cute characters have a fresh, Nordic style. All those who have never crocheted before can learn to do so now. The most important techniques are explained using text and pictures in Crochet School at the front of the book – the simplest first and the most advanced at the end.

It's easy to become enchanted by Emily's characters, and this book is also suitable for young adults who want to try their hand at a small (and feasible) handicraft project.

Emily Thorbjørnsen has written an inspiring crochet book for young girls.
