Leseprobe:

In this book, you'll be introduced to 24 adorable characters that pair up for each month, bringing with them unique stories, which will keep your hands busy all year long. You'll be able to enjoy a romantic date in February with Dash and Dawn the Deers, spend the hot summer days of July by the beach with Gia the Giraffe and Rory the Rhino, and even celebrate Christmas with Riley the Reindeer and Mason the Mouse.The concept for this book started brewing in the back of my mind in January 2020. I've always enjoyed designing characters representing nature and holidays, so I knew that one day I would be making a collection of designs about it. Unfortunately, and mostly because of lack of time, my sketches remained just ideas for potential characters. Or so I thought.Fast track to 2023, when I decided to pick up this concept again. With the support and encouragement of my Patreon community, I revisited my early sketches and designed two amigurumi friends every month for a whole year. It was a year of hard work that ultimately paid off in the best possible way.This book is the culmination of what I've learned over the years as a designer, but it's also a representation of who I am as a person. Wonder why April features amigurumi friends inspired by birthday parties? April baby over here! Or why do the amigurumi friends in June travel to Switzerland and Japan? I was born in Switzerland and my dream travel destination has always been Japan, which I was lucky enough to visit on my honeymoon.I hope all these amigurumi friends (the old and the new) will bring you as much joy and inspiration as they did for me. Now it's time to pick up your crochet hook and get your hands working!
