"Accomplished crafter Scales introduces an adorable amigurumi idea: cozies for chocolate pieces. With three different sizes that can be used as covers for candies or chocolate treats, these projects are cute gift ideas, and they don’t have to be used for their intended purposes. Still, some crafters may find this subject to be a bit niche. A helpful introductory section of the stitches that will be used, plus a convenient grid to differentiate between U.S. and UK terms, are included with tips on how to fasten off and finish the projects. Each pattern includes a close-up photo of the finished item that’s positioned right next to the size and piece of candy that it can cover. The patterns are detailed and contain additional information about the embroidery stitches crafters can do to create extra details such as mouths or faces. VERDICT A well-structured title filled with detailed instructions and photos. The book’s projects would make cute gifts, but its focus may be a little too narrow for some collections."
Sara Scales’s passion for miniatures and fascination with the Japanese art of Amigurumi led to scaling them down to mini sizes. An accomplished crafter who also specializes in cross stitch, felting, beading, and teddy-bear making, Sara lives in South Yorkshire, England.
