My Book



My first book, AmiguruME: Make Cute Crochet People is now available to order on amazon! 

From Amazon.com:

Make a miniature version of you, your friends, and celebrities too! You'll absolutely love this comprehensive guide to creating amigurumi people. Media favorite Allison Hoffman—whose delightful creations have graced the sets of Conan, Martha Stewart, Glee, and more—explains how to craft and customize these Japanese dolls at every stage. You'll learn everything from depicting the face of the person you're designing to getting the clothing, hair, and accessories just right. The possibilities are infinite . . . and infinitely fun! 

About the Author
Allison Hoffman designs amigurumi patterns from her studio in Austin, TX since and her work has since been seen everywhere from The Martha Stewart Show to Conan, as well as in art exhibits around the United States. She is frequently featured in both pop-culture and craft publications, such as Crochet Today, Interweave Crochet, BoingBoing.net, PerezHilton.com, and more. She blogs at CraftyisCool.com and designs patterns for several yarn companies. She teaches amigurumi classes in Austin, where she lives with her husband, three little boys, and two Labs.

Praise for Allison Hoffman and AmiguruME:



"Crocheter Allison Hoffman (probably crocheting right now) crochets up a storm! Crafty, crochet-y fun!!!" 
—Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens)









"Whether you're a fan girl/guy who's dying for a yarn version of your favorite celeb or a dedicated grandparent who'd love crocheted likenesses of your favorite kiddos, this book's for you. Allison is the queen of crocheted characters."
—Vickie Howell, designer, craft book author, and TV personality 







"When Allison made a crocheted doll with my likeness, I knew that I had truly made it. She is to crochet what Tupac is to rap." 
— Conan O'Brien










"Allison is a crafting genius. Of all the gifts that have been bestowed on me, I have to say the doll she made to look like me is my favorite." 
—Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson of The Roots and 
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon








“Allison Hoffman is a master at marrying pop culture and craft, creating real-life likenesses that are always awesome. Her astonishing attention to detail is reflected on every page of this book. Never before had I considered making a doll of my beloved-but-feared second-grade teacher, but now I know I must.” 
—Kim Werker, author of Crochet Me

    I am so excited for this book! I never thought I could do amigurumi (and I can't sew to save my life) and I thought I was doomed to live life unable to turn the characters I imagined up in my head into real life things!
    Thanks to your tutorials and free patterns I'm now creating my own patterns! And after I buy your book I can crochet my own personal versions of my favorite people!!

    I am trying to find a pattern for Kailan. I saw yoyu made a cute one. I have a 3 year old granddaughter that thinks she is Kailan. It is too funny.

    I can't wait until your book is finally in my post box. I'm from Germany and admire your works a lot. I hope amazon.GER releases your book simultaneously to the US-release, so that I can start to crochet my own puppets - I really want to crochet my father who tought me everything about crocheting. Wishing you all the best!

    I received your book from Amazon a few days ago (September 20), and it's WONDERFUL! I love that it really is a mix-and-match guide to creating your own characters and people, not just making an existing character. It's so much more fun that way and it really opens up the possibilities!

    I just got your wonderful book, but I have just one question. Do you have a pattern for the 5'clock shadow look on page 21?

  15. Borg QueenDecember 11, 2014 at 2:32 PM

    I would love to get your book. But will it be available in digital form? It is very expensive to get anything these days from the USA because of the sky high taxes.That is why I am so happy with all those digital patterns.
    Are all the doctor who companions I have seen on tumblr going to be available in a bundle soon? Love them!!

    Yeah, I am clueless on how to do the bare feet I have started. I can't find anything to help online. It's driving me nuts. It is not encouraging to see that your concern was voiced 2 years ago and there is still nowhere for me to find a tutorial of some kind

  20. UnknownAugust 25, 2017 at 8:12 PM

    How do you vary people's heights? I have your book but want to do my family and well would like it to be close to real.

  21. UnknownMay 24, 2018 at 12:21 PM

    Same! The book is great but the Bare Feet pattern on page 89 makes no sense, especially for the child’s foot pattern. Is there an errata page for this book?
    Any help? Anyone? Bueller?
