Crochet Books

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!

Creepy Cute Crochet! This is cute great pictures for getting ideas on how to make creepy cute amis. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I adore this book. This is the book that has the pattern for the monkey I made in the previous post. The patterns are fun....and easy to follow! Right now this is my favourite ami book!
Cute book...I like a couple of the patterns.And have made the hamster and the cat....I just wish there was more.
This is an interesting book. I have made the zombie robot from this book. The patterns are unusual, cute and very easy to follow.

Do you know of any cool crochet books not mentioned here...please leave a link! I would love to look them up.
