Welcome to Litsy!

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting stuffed characters--a technique that creates super-cute animals with large heads and tiny bodies. Sparkling Crochet feautures a delightful, inspiring gallery of amigurumi animals made using glittery yarn that makes them even more delightful than they usually are. Easy to follow step by step instructions follow the gallery to reveal how readers can crochet the characters themselves. Among the characters in Sparkling Crochet are: puppies (includes an especially charming Dalmation), bears (includes a lovable Panda Bear), a monkey, a bunny, a ladybug, and a hedgehog. Sparkling yarn is widely available (Amazon, Michaels, and Yarn.com, sell a range of brands of it), but no other crochet book uses it to make amigurumi characters. The steps to make them are written in such a fun and straightforward manner that readers can easily make a collection for themselves and also characters to gift to their loved ones.
