My book of Christmas crochet patterns is available now! Check out "Amigurumi Christmas Ornaments " by Linda Wright. _____________________________________ NEED HELP? ~ A NOTE FROM LINDA Even with an easy-level pattern and no matter how long you've been crocheting, there's always a chance you'll find something you don't quite get. I've included many photo guides for stitches and techniques in this book to help you along the way. I also believe there's nothing like watching a video tutorial. YouTube offers an excellent source of demos and I've assembled a collection of my favorites on Pinterest. Visit LindalooEnterprises on Pinterest to view my "Amigurumi Tutorials" board. There you will find video tutorials for all of the stitches and techniques used to make these animal hats. "My retired husband absolutely loves his Shark Hat!

LINDA WRIGHT studied textiles and clothing design at the Pennsylvania State University. She is the author of various handicraft books including numerous works of whimsical amigurumi-style crochet.
