This has to be the funniest crochet book ever written! It's not enough that there are over 35 animals and friends to crochet, but each creature has a description worthy of a British comedy show as well. Brit Nicki Trench takes the amigurumi trend over the top and creates the most super-cute crochet ever. Whether you are making Pete the Guinea Pig or a flock of Buff-orpington baby chicks (chicks include Quentin, Joaquim, Tarquin, Cosima, Tamara and Arabella) or just reading the book for fun, you are sure to be completely entertained. This book is a super-delightful gem!
