Product Information

What’s really nice about the book is at the beginning of each pattern there is a QR code that will take you to a gallery where you can share your finished projects from the book. Victor Frog – I’ve made Victor Frog more times than I can count. I’ve made him in the traditional way, but I also transitioned to making him a her and putting a tutu on her. You can find the tutorial for that here: How to Add a Tutu to Amigurumi Toys. I still have the original Victor Frog I made but I gave away and sold all the rest. Marcos Coati – I really loved making this pattern but I was able to put a lot of skills together that I had learned. And he turned out really cute! But you can also look through the gallery to find color inspiration from other crocheters who have already made the toy. Reworked Patterns V” shaped stitches naturally lean to the right (if you’re right handed), while X shaped stitches sit a little more neatly one on top of the other.

Pedro Von Ditto Pig – this became one of my favorite projects ever. I enjoyed making this little pig so much and continued to make him and also making a girl version with a tut as well. I so wish that I had kept one of these little guys and gals! Hector Rhinocerous – this was one of my favorite projects as well. So much so that I ended up keeping her. I love the colors I chose for this project in those baby pastels. So cute.

Ratings and reviews

Greta Hen – this is possibly my favorite pattern from all of Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3. Look at those oversized feet and her little striped tail feathers. I’ve never seen a hen wearing a shawl before, but I think they all need one now! How sweet. This stich is more compact because you twist the yarn when you make that first yarn under. Your result will be a tighter and smaller stitch, and thus a more compact toy. Yan Schenkel, Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 (pg. 9) Rosa Cheetah – I loved making this little girl! I was beginning to be interested in clothing for amigurumi toys and enjoyed making her little dress. There are so many different types of safety eyes online that it’s hard to find ones that are good quality and at a good price.

Yan goes on to explain that a toy made with the yarn under technique will be a little longer, less wide and less squishy. Yarn Over Robin Unicorn – the unicorn is a project that I only made twice. I found the way the underside of the body to be very challenging, but I learned so much.

Yan explains that she did some experimenting with her tension to get nice size stitches, but that it was causing her hand pain. She eventually started going down on her hook size until she found what felt comfortable as well as looked nice. Her goal was to never have stuffing showing through. Crochet Hook Material Rene Yacare Caiman – oh how I love this pattern. I made him several times and eventually turned him into a little girl with a tutu as well. What I have always found so incredible about Yan’s creations is her ability to design something fairly simple, but yet it has so much personality and whimsy. I guess that’s what makes a truly gifted toy designer. Favorite Patterns from Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 There’s a general rule for amigurumi that you should always go down two crochet hook sizes from the recommended hook size on the yarn label.

Harry Wolf – this was the next Pica Pau toy I made. I still have my original one, but I made him several times as well. He stretched my skills in many ways and I credit him with learning so much about amigurumi and the importance of getting the facial symmetry right. You want a crochet hook that slides easily in and out of your stitches, while also being strong enough to withstand some of the bending and maneuvering we do to make adorable crocheted toys.Marcia Alpaca – this was one of my favorite projects and I also learned how to make pom poms for the first time! How cute is this pattern! But there is always one combo of yarn and hook that works bes, and in my case, this is worsted weight yarn with a 2.75 mm crochet hook.
