Crochet Stories: Grimms' Fairy Tales by Vanessa Putt & Brothers Grimm &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

"Incredibly innovative, fun, and creative, Crochet Stories: Grimms’ Fairy Tales is something you can share with your loved ones for many years and it will surely inspire you to go on to create even more fairy tale characters." — Erisea Mag
"Absolutely adorable." — Shadows' Reach
Practitioners of amigurumi, the Japanese art of crocheting stuffed dolls, will adore this collection of sixteen playful patterns for fairy tale figures. Projects include the witch and the gingerbread house as well as the hero and heroine of "Hansel and Gretel"; the giant and the golden goose's eggs of "Jack and the Beanstalk," in addition to the beanstalk and Jack himself; the long-haired captive of "Rapunzel," her lonely tower, and her rescuer, the prince; the animals of "The Hare and the Hedgehog" plus a juicy carrot; and the wee subject of "Tom Thumb" and his cow.
Clear instructions for creating the characters are accompanied by color photos of the finished products along with charming retellings of all five fairy tales. An introductory chapter offers general notes and tips, including pointers on working in the round, stuffing, measurements, and finishing.
"Sure to delight and inspire! A charmingly whimsical repository of achievable patterns." — The Bookshelf Gargoyle

“I really love this whole series. The books are well-organized for actually doing the patterns and actually contain the information needed for some of the more unusual stitches that are used. The pictures help a ton as well--they might not be needed for the very advanced, but I don't generally do very well without a few ideas of what things are supposed to look like along the way, and I'm grateful for them. The inclusion of the stories before the patterns added a new level to this. It's now not just useful for the patterns, it feels like a book I actually want to keep around. The mix of stories included was interesting as well--not just the "basic" Grimm stories, but a few I wasn't terribly familiar with ("The Hare and the Hedgehog," anyone? I had forgotten about this completely.) I get the idea that this is intended to be at least partially for those who crochet and have small children (these would be fun for telling the story, I bet) or those who have children of an age where they might learn how to crochet (the combination of comfortable patterns and stories would probably make it easier), but I enjoyed this quite a bit and I don't fall into either category. I have started a beanstalk and intend to make myself a Jack to go along with it, and I'll probably do several of the others as well (the witch is adorable and would probably look cute by my punch bowl for Halloween). This book was provided to me for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.”
