Description
AmiguruMe Eats serves up a buffet of projects that recreate the look, scents, and textures of your favorite foods! This irresistible collection of 40 food-themed amigurumi makes a delicious treat for crafters. Perfect for beginners, it offers a menu of charming projects, including a plate of pancakes served with strips of bacon, a sandwich (with your filling of choice), and a full dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, a freshly crocheted salad, and a slice of pie. There are even patterns for kitchen accessories, from a lunch box that opens and closes to a miniature pot with a removable lid. Every project features instructions for adding scent using wax melts or common household items like herbs and coffee beans, and there's plenty of guidance on creating fun variations and customizing your creations. Crochet novices will be able to tackle these super-cute items in no time with the help of the "Getting Started" section, illustrated with step-by-step photos.

Reviews
"A delightful primer to creating replicas of food, beverages, and utensils entirely out of a little yarn, some aromatic oils, and a crochet hook. . . .The finished products look good enough to eat, and there are detailed instructions on using oils, spices, and extracts to make these creations smell good enough to eat as well. Hoffman's playful guide will provide a fun way for absolute beginners to learn crochet and a new way for expert crocheters to express themselves, with deliciously whimsical results in both cases." --Publishers Weekly (Starred review)
