Okay, so I just snagged Whimsical Stitches: A Modern Makers Book of Amigurumi Crochet Patterns from Amazon for my BFF's upcoming bday, and lemme just say, this book is 🔥🔥! My sis has been trying to learn amigurumi crocheting and when she opened the present it was like her eyes lit up with joy! Not only are there loads of adorable patterns included in the pages (I'm looking at you Otter Families!), but author Heidi Yates also includes super helpful tips throughout to make sure your project comes out correctly on the first try - no trial by error here! The simplicity of these patterns is perfect for a beginner like my sister while still offering an advanced level challenge to someone who's already worked their way through basic skills. And let me tell ya, making an extra special something that shows you care can be hard work (especially for last minute shoppers like me haha). But with Whimsical Stitches it gave me the confidence I needed to put together a totally sexy present without breaking any sweat. 10/10 would recommend!!
