        Readers will be instantly in awe of the uniqueness of this title by Green-Hite. The artist/designer/creator behind Yarn Punk, has a vibrant and playful style that doesn't rely on the ordinary shapes of flowers and animals. Instead, crafters are greeted by creations such as igloos, rockets, thermostats, surfboards, and more. The book is full of detailed, clear photographs, so creators don't have to worry about going awry. Some of the patterns require more advanced techniques, but many are accessible for beginners. The strongest part of the book by far is Green-Hite's personal narrative, the relationship between crochet and mental health, and the foundation of Yarn Punk. VERDICT Green-Hite's book is full of simple yet extraordinary patterns that would be a fun addition to any library collection.--Brittany Schaaf

        Starred review from July 4, 2022
        “Almost any tangible item can be turned into a cute stuffed doll,” asserts Knot Bad blogger Green-Hite in his delightful debut that draws on amigurumi, a Japanese crafting style for making 3D dolls. He begins with a thorough overview of necessary materials, covering the standards such as darning needles, scissors, and stitch markers, and noting that his projects require “budget-friendly” acrylic yarns. Beginners will appreciate the close step-by-step look at basic crochet stitches and techniques—including slip stitches, slipknots, and turning the row—and needlework tips on changing yarn colors and sewing a hole shut. The 25 patterns that follow are all adorable and adorned with embroidered faces: there’s a purple smiling “Bubbly Boba Tea,” a blushing “Breezy Beach Hat,” a charming pink “Fragrant Flower,” and a “Mushy Mushroom” that’s full of personality. In several of the projects, crocheters will learn unique amigurumi techniques: the “Lush Lily Pad,” for example, is notably crocheted with flat pieces instead of in the round
        , and the “Thrilled Turtle” requires additional embroidery work on its shell. This fun guide is a must-read for crocheters of all levels.
