Description

Meet Roberto Dachshund, Alberto Seagull, Humboldt Penguin, Horacio Polar Bear, Amalia Giraffe, and many more: everyone is a happy member of the bustling Pica Pau family. They’re earnest, warmhearted, and gentle, and as soon as you’ve opened the book, you’ll feel right at home. 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 The Clover Amour Crochet Hook Set comes with ten different crochet hooks in the sizes 2.25 mm all the way up to 6 mm. Safety Eyes She went on to explain a test she made using yarn over vs yarn under. She made two circles, one with yarn over and one with yarn under, using the same yarn and hook.

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. Some of these come directly from the book and others are tips that I have developed over the past five years crocheting these patterns. Yarn Under

Ratings and reviews

One of the biggest differences you will find in the Pica Pau patterns is that Yan Schenkel uses yarn under instead of yarn over to make single crochets. I think it really interesting to see her evolution as a designer and maker. Even in her earlier patterns you can see hints of the designer she would someday become.

Toy maker, character designer, and crochet knitter Yan Schenkel has collected the brightest amigurumi around her. In this book, she presents her expert knowledge of amigurumi crochet in 20 precious designs, and she also unveils the secrets to make her most beautiful creations. All patterns contain detailed instructions and are accompanied by step-by-step pictures and explanations of all techniques used, so both beginners and advanced crocheters can easily get acquainted with her amigurumi besties. Discover the phenomenon of Pica Pau and friends. 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. Yarn Weight/Crochet Hook CombinationWith yarn over the circle measured about 4 inches, while the yarn under circle measured 3.3 inches. That’s a pretty big difference. Color Change Difference 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. 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. 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.

There’s also quite a difference when making color changes. The X-shape is much like a square, like a pixel, and sometimes these stitches seem to align better. Yan Schenkel, Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 (pg. 9) Murray Sea Otter – this was such a fun project and found him fairly simple as I had learned so much from amigurumi by this point. 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. But you can also look through the gallery to find color inspiration from other crocheters who have already made the toy. Reworked Patterns

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! 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. Yan Schenkel, Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 (pg. 10) 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.

The star rating is a very helpful tool for beginners to help choose which patterns will likely be a bit easier and mored difficult to crochet. Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 Tips I have found that metal is the only way to go. Wood and plastic drag on the yarn whereas metal slides easily through. 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. 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)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. Hans Grizzly Bear – I enjoyed making this little bear so much and made him several times. Each time I learned something new and my skills improved each time I made him.
