LIBRARY JOURNAL
Hicks (All-New Twenty To Make: Animal Granny Squares) presents crocheted amigurumi characters from the sequel to the beloved UK stop-motion animated film Chicken Run. Included in this guide are all the chicken characters, of course, plus Nick, Fletcher, and the villainous Mrs. Tweedy. The finished products range from four to nine inches. No skill level is included in the book, though there is a comprehensive section on stitching techniques, easy-to-follow images, and special instructions for adding details with chain stitch and surface crochet. Each pattern provides close-up images of stitches and completed figures. Hicks has written the patterns specifically for cotton yarn, which creates a sturdy structure with good stitch delineation. She indicates that acrylic or wool could be used as substitutes, though this may slightly change the size of the figures. Readers should note that the patterns in the book are written using UK crochet terms, but there’s a handy UK-to-U.S. term conversion table.
VERDICT Something a little different from standard amigurumi crocheted characters and books. A must for crafty fans and collectors of whimsical Chicken Run memorabilia.
