These mommies and daddies are not afraid to admit that parenting sometimes has its downsides. Those sweet amigurumi babies need constant attention after all, and a good nights’s sleep can be hard to come by. But it takes just one smile, or a mischievous look from their little ones and they are completely in love again.

Joke collects the most beautiful patterns from all over the world on her website www.amigurumipatterns.net. With more than 160,000 fans the site has grown into a community and a meeting place where crocheters and designers meet and exchange tips and patterns.

Each year she organizes a competition for designers. The theme of the latest contest, elaborated upon in this book, reaches new heights in terms of cuteness. You’ll find the sweetest baby animals accompanied by their proud parents.

A baby penguin is driven around in his eggshell buggy, baby sloth spends all day on mom’s belly and baby bear celebrates his first birthday…

They will all steal your heart away.

This book contains twelve of the participating patterns from the competition - 25 characters in total. Maybe you are making your very first amigurumi? Then don’t worry. The book begins with a number of pages dedicated to explaining all the basics. More experienced? Then you’ll certainly love the details in these designs.
