One of today's hippest craft trends is amigurumi, Japanese-inspired crochet and knit stuffed dolls that have inspired crafters everywhere to create gaggles of adorable creatures. Most patterns are for little kitties, bears, bunnies, and the like, but here's an offering for those who prefer their cute a little less saccharine. Author Christen Haden combines the infamous cuteness of Japanese crafts with characters more associated with horror flicks, bad action, and sci-fi films. Patterns include zombies, ninjas, Vikings, vampires, aliens, and skeletons, to name just a few. Each of the 30+ patterns is accentuated with hilarious commentary, step-by-step instructions, and photographs of the creatures in their natural environment, so even beginners will be inspired to share in the fun.

Absolutely adorable, quirky and well-designed. Patterns have clear and easy-to-read instructions in both written and drawn forms. All the characters are hilarious and unique. I would highly recommend this book to any new or well-practiced crocheters as there are patterns for a wide range of skill levels. I'll be entertained with this book for quite some time. Highly recommended.
I am so happy that I purchased this book! I love the bright colours and the handbag-size of the book!
I am an absolute beginner with crochet - and I have already started the ninja!
This book would make a fantastic present for teenagers who like craft, or for anyone who wants to make something that is not a country - style theme, children or baby themed.
I absolutely love this book, and will not be lending it to anyone.
You do need a good knowledge of crochet if you want to make every project in this book, but there is no need to purchase a book on techniques - there are so many websites with a lot of information to help you!
I recommend this book to anyone who even thinks they "might" like it - You will not be disappointed!
This is a very cute book, and I'm glad I bought it for inspiration as much as must-makes. The designs work on a basic body shape, which you can see on the cover. There's patterns for a devil, various vampires, skeletons, chuthulu, several zombies, medusa, and alien, a robot, the grim reaper, trojan, spartan and medieval soldiers, an amazon, and of course a ninja. Perfect guy presents. If you're looking for a book that explores the variety of cute that can be made from a basic pattern, it's a good choice. There's a bit of technical detail, crochet terms are in US terminology and there's a brief tutorial on making polymer clay eyes. What it lacks in using the same basic body shape is the variety of techniques found in some other books; if you're looking for a more varied, technical amigurumi book, you're better off looking at something like Beth Doherty's "Amigurumi".
