Animal Friends of Pica Pau: Gather All 20 Colorful Amigurumi Animal Characters

I have really enjoyed looking at these books. I say "books" because I bought all three. The instructions are so clear and I have learned new crochet techniques. The author has done a great design job on all the animals. I have already started the fox and the lobster.

I absolutely love the patterns in this book and the next two in the series! Adorable and surprisingly more approachable than they look. The finished items always seem to impress! I've mixed and matched accessories between patterns with success as well. I do wish there were a few more pictures dealing with placement/ attaching of parts and details. She seems to have improved that in books 2 and 3 somewhat.

Got this book for my daughter. Super cute book with good quality content and directions. This is one of my daughter favorite books and she very easily learned to crochet all the animals in this book. They are so adorable! Would definitely recommend this book to someone who loves to crochet animals.

Nice book. Has easy to follow patterns . Some are easy others are challenging, but still good.

This is the third book I’ve bought from this author and I am so impressed with the quality of the books. They are all so beautiful with plenty of pictures, stitch guides, easy to follow patterns and a variety of new stitches. I’ve made quite a few of the patterns and they all turn out exactly like the picture. I love that the coloring if the animal is all in one layer (instead of making the eye patches in separate pieces and sewing them on for example). I can appreciate how much work went into all of these patterns. I highly recommend any of these PicaPau books.

I absolutely LOVE the pica pau books! These make the most gorgeous stuffed animals and the instructions are clear (the more animals you make, the easier the instructions are to understand). I want to buy the second book now!! 🥰🥰🥰 Sometimes you take a gamble buying crochet books online simply because of the quality. I can assure you that these books are of the highest quality, and produce great stuffed animals!!!! 💗

This book was recommended to me by a YouTube channel and now I can see why so many people enjoy these books so much. The addition of giving the patterns names and short bios makes me feel more connected to the animal I’m crocheting, this book is why I now prefer to use crochet patterns with names attached to the animals. So far, I have only been able to make George (been stash busting through my older yarn) and I’m extremely pleased with how he turned out. My only complaint, and a very minor one at that, I didn’t find the pictures very helpful. The book’s layout is very pretty, it could probably stand as a art/picture book to non-crocheters it’s that fun to flip through. However, I think that we lose some potentially useful pictures in that layout. For instance, I would’ve loved to see the back of the piece. When I made the tail, I had no idea if it was accurate since there isn’t a photo of the tail or the tail going into the shorts. This may not be an issue for the other patterns but just something I noticed with this one. And this doesn’t at all change my positive opinion with the book, it’s very well crafted and the patterns are very well written. I have her second book as well and I look forward to seeing her next book.

Loved the book... photography is amazing. I like easy step by step instructions with lots of pictures. I also appreciate that there are patterns for different skill levels, rated from 1 to 3 stars. Someone could easily start with the 1-star patterns and move up to the 3-star patterns to improve their skills. Old fashion soft toys are wonderful one-of-a kind gifts for the young and old. Highly recommend this book to anyone who love crafting.
