If you've always wanted to try making huggable amigurumi, this book is for you. Amigurumi Soft Hugs comes complete with easy-to-follow pictures and instructions to make 16 big animal friends (most ranging from 30 to 40cm tall). AUTHOR: Mei Li Lee is an amigurumi artist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She is best known as the author of Hello Kitty Crochet and a mom to three boys. The former journalist is now often busy planning for playtime, which entails using her imaginary skills to cook up various ways to keep the kids occupied. Thankfully, there are good days where she still gets to catch her breath and daydream a little, and slowly but surely work her way towards making all the quirky-cute amigurumi dolls on her ever-growing to-do list.
