The word "crochet" may bring to mind images of old-fashioned afghans
and dowdy potholders, but now there's a new breed of crochet patterns
that put a fresh spin on the traditional craft.
Tiny Yarn Animals: Amigurumi Friends to Make and Enjoy,
crafter Tamie Snow’s latest how-to book (on sale in August), is filled
with adorable photos and patterns of precious critters such as a
diminutive bumblebee, wide-eyed turtle (at right) and wobbly penguin.
WomansDay.com got an
exclusive sneak peek and couldn't wait to share some of the easy
patterns with you. For the complete slideshow of cute critters (and the easy patterns for making them),
