DIY Crochet Katherine Perkins

Ever since I started my book, it has been wonderful connecting with people from a wide variety of backgrounds in crochet. Some have been crocheting for years but have never tried crocheting stuffed animals. Some used to crochet but gave it up as life got too busy. Some have never picked up a crochet hook before in their life but are interested in learning! Crocheting is easy to learn and now there are so many resources out there on-line. I would encourage any of you who have thought about picking up a new hobby to try crocheting. It's inexpensive, therapeutic and portable- I love how you can work on projects while waiting for the bus or on road trips. With today's mass consumerism, there's just something so special about making a unique stuffed animal with your own two hands from scratch that feels organic. In this book, I have compiled some animals crochet patterns that I recommend to people who want to crochet. Let's begin!
