June Gilbank wrote a book called The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amigurumi

June (aka PlanetJune) who has been producing some awesome designs for a while now. I love her amigurumi designs and I know I will enjoy crocheting out of her book.

This is what June wrote about her book on her blog...

Amigurumi (pronounced ah-mee-goo-roo-mee) is Japanese for “crochet (or knit) stuffed toy.” Although the concept originated in Japan, the amigurumi craze is taking over the world in waves of crocheted cuteness! From adorable fuzzy critters, to sweet-looking fruits and vegetables, to quirky comic book and cartoon characters – if you can imagine it, you can crochet it!

Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or have never taken hook to yarn, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amigurumi shows you everything you need to know to hook your own delightful amigurumi. This helpful guide includes:

These are exclusive patterns that I created for the book – you won’t find them anywhere else.  All along, my plan for this book was to create the definitive reference guide to amigurumi techniques, not just another pattern book, and I hope that’s what I’ve achieved. I’ve put a lot into this book, and I hope that you’ll get a lot out of it, whatever your skill level or experience with amigurumi. It’s the only book of its kind, and I really hope you’ll enjoy it – and please let me know if you do!  If you haven’t ordered a copy yet, they should be in bookstores any day now, if not already, or you can order online from such fine retailers as Chapters/Indigo, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon.ca.Yay!

* UK folks, looks like you’ll have to import a copy or wait till December to get your hands on a copy I expect the delay is while they translate it (back) into British English and into UK crochet terms – just guessing…
