Inside Crochet

Calling all astrology-loving crocheters we predict there's a fabulous new book in your future! Whether you're a sensitive Pisces or a loyal Leo, Crochet Zodiac Dolls enable you to create your own pocket-sized star sign dolls designed by best-selling author Carla Mitrani, also known as Amour Fou Crochet, and creator of the Iconic Women crochet doll series.

This collection is the perfect way to enjoy your zodiac sign and to use small quantities of yarn to make cure gifts for all your family and friends to treasure. Each of the pattern draws on the symbols of the sign they represent so they are immediately recognisable from Aries the Ram with her horns and sheepish neutral colours, to red-headed Cancer the Crab with her pincers, or Sagittarius the Centaur with a bow and arrow.

The designs also reference the characteristics and personality traits of each of the star signs, so Taurus is carrying a pot plant to symbolise their love of gardening, for example. We love how Carla has included fun information on each star sign's traits, as well as details of each character's ruling planet, the element of each star sign, birth stone, lucky colours and more.

The patterns are easy to follow and fun to make, including step-by-step instructions and photography to explain advanced techniques and stitches. Carla has also included plenty of her best tips and tricks for a professional finish.

This book is not only ideal for anyone who loves to read their horoscopes, but teens and younger crafters will love to make or receive these cute characters too.
