Critics Review
“Pica Pau 3 is on the next level and certainly stands out from other amigurumi books. For me, the book is not just a pattern book, it is a source of knowledge, reference of stitches, tools and techniques. There’s a great range of designs, each one with its own uniqueness (I just love the clothing, they are definitely my favorite parts!). The pattern format is easy to follow and flows really well. I love how there are graphs included for the patterned / detail pieces too. “
–Sarah Wright, amigurumi designer“So if you’re looking forward to new techniques, new toys, new inspirations, or just a new crochet book for your collection, don’t miss this wonderful one!”
–Khuc Cay, amigurumi designer and book author“What I’ve always found so incredible about Yan’s designs is that she can take something that is fairly simple, and give it so much personality and make it so whimsical, and I think that’s what makes a truly gifted amigurumi designer. … I really do credit Yan Schenkel for teaching me how to make amigurumi.”
