Have fun with the Japanese art of amigurumi and crochet 40 fabulous dolls in a variety of outfits. Choose from fire fighters, doctors, police officers and baseball players, or maybe you'd prefer to make a cute doll dressed as a bumble bee, santa claus, bunny rabbit or princess. Whether you are making a unique gift to celebrate a birthday, wedding, Christmas or Easter, or a special reward for passing an exam or joining a sports team, there will be a doll in this collection that will be the perfect fit.

Each project is based on one of two basic dolls - one approximately 4.5 inches tall and the other around just 3.5 inches tall.
