Alexa Templeton is the UK-based amigurumi designer behind Lex in Stitches. Since she started designing patterns in 2018, Lex’s work has been featured in multiple publications, including Simply Crochet Magazine, Zoomigurumi, and other collaborative amigurumi books. Lex’s main inspiration comes from her daughters and British wildlife. Her favorite animals to crochet and knit are badgers, which oddly do not feature in this book. She lives on the UK’s south coast with her family and black labrador called Onyx. When not crocheting, she works as a vascular surgeon and drinks far too much coffee.
This adorable collection offers 18 new and exclusive designs for a whole host of huggable characters for you to enjoy. With everything from the sweetest teacup pals, a cuddly koala and even an elegant swan, there’s sure to be an animal for you to create and cherish inside. All of these designs are made with super-soft chenille yarn, but you can also use your stash and bring them to life in any fibre you wish, making them the perfect last-minute gift for your loved ones this festive season. …There’s also plenty of helpful step-by-step images included with each pattern so you can get the perfect finish no matter your skill level. * Crochet Now magazine *
