You can create over 40 kinds of animals with the easy-to-understand instructions and plentiful step-by-step photos. Wind the yarn around the pom pom maker, cut to shape the contour of the face, put ears, nose and eyes on it - and that's it! A realistic and cute pom pom animal is now with you. This book is sure to give all craft fans a new enjoyment of making pom poms. -- The Yarn Cafe Praise for trikotri: 'Heartwarming. Happy. Adorable.' Three words that come to the mind for Japanese maker Tsubasa Kuroda, or trikotri as she goes by online, in thinking about her specialty craft: pom-pom animals. Take a peek at her Instagram, and you'll see the collection of her charming critters-plump little parakeets, fluffy hedgehogs and house cats, and smiley Shiba Inus. And whether they're bundled in a basket or artfully pinned to a sweater lapel, the appeal of those furry faces is irresistible. What's more, they're soft-to-the-touch and meticulously detailed with eyes, nose, and needle-felted ears--making each one wearable as a brooch, too. -- Alexandra Churchill, MarthaStewart.com
