Come along and meet Pica Pau’s extraordinary crew! Discover a Caterpillar bundled up in a cozy cloak, an Axolotl sporting stripes, a spiked Echidna who loves collecting hats and an effortlessly stylish Badger and Skunk: everyone is a beloved member of the bustling Pica Pau family.

• Designer and amigurumi expert Yan Schenkel brings together 20 of her most imaginative patterns yet, each one a showcase of the playful, distinctive style that’s made her name in the crochet world.
• For the first time, she also opens up about her own approach to design – sharing the color theory and creative thinking behind her toys, so readers can start imagining and creating characters of their own as well.
• Every pattern comes with clear, thoroughly tested instructions, complete with step-by-step photos and technique walk-throughs, making the projects accessible whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or you’ve been crocheting for years.
• With more than 150,000 copies sold across her Animal Friends of Pica Pau series, Yan has firmly established herself as one of the most inventive voices in the crochet world.
