Mama Made Minis Knotted Loveys: 16 Heirloom Amigurumi Crochet Patterns Paperback – November 14, 2023

If you are a crocheter THIS IS A MUST HAVE! I absolutely love this sweet company and I follow them on Instagram. They have created the SWEETEST little animals. I am a beginner and I felt like the instructions set me up for total success. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Love this book. Easy to follow directions. Authors were very thoughtful to make it as easy as possible to complete projects. Would recommend this book to any crocheter.

Love this book! The instructions are super easy to follow, and all of the dolls are so cute!!! I’ve made the duck twice now with different yarn and love how both turned out!

Great book! Super cute patterns. Very easy to follow, and picture examples are great!

Beautiful book with easy to follow instructions. I used the Premier chenille yarn recommended in the book. When you find the yarn in stock, stock up because popular colors sell out fast. I had to wait 6 weeks just to get a few skeins of the rust color to make the fox. While waiting, I made the monkey and it came out so cute. I wound up putting a little bit of stuffing inside the body cavity because I didn't like how flat it was without it. It gave the body just enough structure without changing the way the author intended the finished product to look.Anyone with above beginner crochet skills should be able to easily follow the instructions. These whip up pretty quick, about 4-5 hours each, so they can made as last minute gifts for little ones. I highly recommend that you add this book to your pattern stash if you have children, or even adults, who would appreciate one of these soft toys.

This is a fantastic book, well-written and illustrated! It makes me smile to leaf through the first few pages, learning about the moms who created this book and seeing the pictures of their children with all the lovies. It just warms my heart!I do adore the loveys and how they are cleverly designed to minimize sewing. Complete with excellent illustrations and instructions, this book offers the opportunity for much enjoyment in watching the lovies come to life as I crochet. Also, the moms have explained how to create different sizes if you use a different weight of yarn.There is such a wide variety of adorable animals. I am working on a monkey for my youngest grandson, and I will be crocheting three rabbits for all three grandsons (all under the age of 4) for Easter. I am using Big Twist Blanket yarn, which is a super bulky chenille (#6), and it's a new experience for me. I haven't worked with such plush yarn or size 7 & 8 crochet hooks, but I think the patterns will work up quickly.I am eagerly anticipating creating many of these lovies for my boys. They are unique in design, well-crafted, and just so cute! Thank you, mamas, for sharing your delightful creations!

I loved how all the lovelies turned out. I will say that when it came to the amount of yarn needed I had to reorder on several occasions. What I noticed is that the patterns that were mostly all one color needed more the 150g of yarn to complete the project. The ones with more accent colors 150g of yarn was sufficient.Read and re-read instructions! All the instructions are correct, but you might be reading the pattern wrong. I did this a few times and just when I was going to give up or alter the pattern I realized I was reading the instructions wrong. One review says that the hippos arm instructions are incorrect but they are not. Sc inc (into one stitch), then sc & 3x bobble (into ONE stitch) repeat 2 MORE times (meaning a total of 3 times), then one final sc inc (which equals a total of 10 stitches).

This book is amazing for making lovey's. Lots of tips and tricks and easy to follow patterns. I highly recommend this book! I love all Mama made mini patterns!
