Book Description
Crochet the zodiac with these crochet patterns for amigurumi horoscope dolls - the perfect present for all astrology lovers. Whether you're a sensitive Pisces or a loyal Leo, you can create your own special zodiac dolls with these cute amigurumi patterns from best-selling author, Carla Mitrani. Astrology has never been so popular - it offers fun and distraction in challenging times - and this collection of doll crochet patterns is the perfect way to enjoy your zodiac sign and to make gifts for all your family and friends to treasure. Each of the zodiac doll crochet patterns draw on the symbols of the star sign that they represent so they are immediately recognisable whether it's Aquarius the Water Carrier, Cancer the Crab or Sagittarius the Centaur with their bow and arrow. The designs also reference the characteristics and personality traits of each of the star signs so, for example, Taurus is carrying a pot plant to symbolise their love of gardening. And there are fun explanations of which signs are the most compatible for love and friendship. So, whether you're a passionate Scorpio, a serious Capricorn or a trustworthy Taurus, a hard-working Virgo or an extroverted Sagittarius you will find a doll for you. Enjoy finding out more about your star sign's traits, as well as your ruling planet, the element of your star sign, your birth stone, lucky colour and more. Find out which well known men and women share the same star sign as you and have fun working out whether your real-life friends match up with your most compatible stars signs. These amigurumi patterns are easy to follow and fun to make. There are step-by-step instructions and photography for the more advanced techniques and stitches for the dolls, and the general techniques section covers all the crochet basics so that you can get started right away. Carla has included plenty of her tips and tricks to ensure that you get the best finish possible for your finished dolls. The dolls are pocket-sized (measuring 14cm/6inches), so they are a great way to use up your scraps and make the perfect portable project.

My Crochet Doll

Pages : 224

Book Description
Make adorable crochet dolls with over fifty unique patterns for clothes and accessories. With a range of clothing and accessory patterns, dress up your doll for home and abroad, from basic underwear and shoes to dresses, dungarees, sweaters, coats, and hats. As well as wardrobe essentials, you can create accessories to match each outfit, including a teddy for bedtime, a bucket for the beach, cakes for the kitchen, and even a penguin for the North Pole! There’s a range of dressing-up costumes, with an adorable bear suit and a fun superhero mask and cape. The cute mini suitcase pattern is the perfect for storing all of your dolls belongings and it doubles up as a bed too! Be aware that crochet terms in the United States are different from those in the U.K. This can be confusing as the same terms are used to refer to different stitches under each system. All crochet patterns in this book are written in U.K. and European terms. U.S. crocheters must take care that they work the correct stitches. One way to tell which system is being used in other patterns is that the American system starts with a single crochet, which the U.K. system doesn't have; so patterns with “sc” in them can be identified as American patterns.
