I LOVE finding new crochet books, I don't think there are enough Amigurumi books out there. So I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts on some of the books I own.
This first one is a sock monkey pattern book by Patons. I enjoyed working these patterns and have made 2 full size sock monkeys using this book. The patterns are easy to use. I just don't like when you buy a crochet/knit book and the majority of the patterns in it are knit. I would give this book 3 crochet hooks out of 5 lol!
This next book is by Vanna White...and the cute lion on the front is what made me pick this book up. The patterns look easy...but I still haven't made anything out of it.
Super Super Cute Crochet is an amazing book!! I love it! I actually just go it two days ago and the patterns are soooo cute! Really life like, I can't wait to make the panda!
The Happy Hooker book describes crocheting and the different techniques really well.And it is quite a large book...lots of info! Alot of patterns for apparel and accessories like purses and hats.This is the very first crochet book I ever purchased by Ana Paula Rimoli.And it was the first amigurumi pattern besides a small bear I ever created! And I have to thank Maggi for sharing her gorgeous creations on her delightful blog...because of her wonderful crocheted works of art I ran out and bought this book and got hooked!
And this is her second book that I just picked up this last weekend! I love it....it's packed with really cute patterns...the first on my to do list is a cute tea set complete with cookies for my Niece!
This is an interesting book. I have made the zombie robot from this book. The patterns are unusual, cute and very easy to follow.

I actually have the creepy cute one in my Amazon wish list and I can't even crochet *g* I just fell in love with the cover! AM glad to read that it is as good as it looks.
i don't crochet but the title 'the happy hooker' would have made me buy that one LOL :D
