Crobots
by Nelly Pailloux

Publisher: Ivy Press
Edition: Paperback

ISBN 13: 9781907332012

A craze that began in Japan but has now definitely gone global, amigurumi – cute little stuffed dolls – are fun and fast to make, and can be customized easily to give every one a personal twist. The 20 original designs in this book are based around tiny mechanical creatures, crobots, each with his or her own qualities and abilities: from Babybot, who is just growing into his silver suit; to Geisha, with her downcast gaze, blushing pink cheeks, and efficient demeanor; and Dogbot, the crobots' best friend, who sports a natty white face mask and a jauntily upright tail. Easy enough to be made by a crochet novice, charming enough for you to want to complete the whole robotic menagerie.
