Crobots by Nelly Pailloux
I got this adorable little book the other day. It’s just the cutest thing! If you like amigurumi, you’ll love this collection. If you like stuffed animals, this group will entice you to get crocheting.
Although the book is only 96 pages, it’s full of color photographs of these whimisical charmers. Most are embellished with beads, metallic thread, or other teeny hardware, most of which you’ll have in your sewing box or tool box.
The book starts with the required ‘how to’s’ and moves through each project, offering clear ‘blueprints’ – assembly instructions that follow the crochet directions. The ‘girliebot’ is adorable. From Ninjabot to Matryoshka (Russian nesting doll), you’ll find a charming collection of amigurumi that will make a great addition to your crocheted toys. While they are all identified as ‘robots’, you’ll find them a lot more cuddly.

Yes. too cute! what a great idea for a book…
I spotted this book at the library the other day. I’ve been trying to figure out what to make my two little neighbours who are 2 and 4 years old. I wanted something quick to make, little for their hands, and age appropriate…a tall order but the patterns in this book seem to suit it.
