This is the story of a crafty crochet cat. Nekoyama, is the owner and author of Amineko. Just looking at this stuffed animal, you can see he is full of personality. Amineko introduces you to his friends and his daily adventures through comic photographs.

The pattern to make your own Animeko cat, is given in step by step photographs and accompanied by instructions. Nekoyama guides you through selecting yarn weight and texture, achieving just the right look and size, for your own cat and his friends. There are also instructions given on making accessories.

Drawings cover the basics of crochet. For first timers, there are diagrams for showing you how to hold the hook and yarn.

The faces and poses are very expressive. Ideas are given for designing your own cats. This book is unique. It would be a great gift idea to crochet a cat for a child. Then give the book to the child’s parent. They can read “Hello My name is Amineko” to the child and show them the antics and photo adventures of Animeko and his friends.
