🧵 The book
The Book n°5 Garden Friends is a DMC booklet dedicated to creating crochet amigurumi with Happy Chenille yarn. It contains 5 complete patterns to make adorable characters inspired by nature: a butterfly, a snail, a caterpillar, a ladybug, and a dragonfly. Each pattern includes detailed written explanations and graphic symbols, making the process clear even for those new to crochet.
The book is designed for those who want to get into amigurumi with easy, quick projects, perfect for creating soft, colorful toys for children or handmade home decorations. The patterns are available in 4 languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish), allowing anyone to follow the instructions with ease.
🧬 Why Happy Chenille: the perfect yarn for amigurumi
DMC Happy Chenille yarn is specifically designed for making amigurumi. Its 100% polyester composition with a chenille effect creates a soft, velvety surface that gives dolls a professional look and a pleasant texture. Unlike traditional cotton, chenille hides stitch imperfections better, making the final piece look more uniform even for beginners.
Each ball of Happy Chenille weighs approximately 15 grams and offers about 38 meters of yarn, an ideal amount for completing small amigurumi without waste. The mini-ball format allows you to buy only the colors needed for each project, optimizing your budget and reducing leftovers. The yarn is worked with a 3 mm crochet hook, ensuring a tight stitch that holds the stuffing well.
📦 The 5 amigurumi in the book
Each pattern in Book n°5 is dedicated to a garden animal: the butterfly with colorful wings, the snail with its spiral shell, the cute and elongated caterpillar, the ladybug with black spots, and the dragonfly with transparent wings. Each character is designed to be made with just a few balls of Happy Chenille, making the projects affordable and quick to complete.
The finished sizes of the amigurumi range between approximately 10 and 15 cm, perfect for use as toys for children, decorations for bedrooms, or handmade party favors. Children and adults alike will love them for their softness and vivid colors. Each pattern precisely indicates the recommended Happy Chenille colors, but you can customize your amigurumi by choosing the shades you prefer from the range of 25 available colors.
🧶 Recommended working method
All patterns in the book are designed to be worked with a 3 mm crochet hook. This size is ideal for Happy Chenille yarn because it creates a dense fabric that prevents the stuffing from leaking, ensuring sturdy and long-lasting amigurumi. If you use a larger crochet hook, the fabric will be too loose and the stuffing will show between the stitches; if you use a smaller hook, the fabric will become stiff and difficult to shape.
The patterns use basic crochet stitches: chain, single crochet, increase, and decrease. No advanced techniques are required, making the book perfect for those who want to learn how to create amigurumi starting from simple yet striking projects. Each pattern includes universal graphic symbols alongside the written explanations, facilitating understanding even for those who prefer following visual diagrams.
✨ Why choose this book
Unlike many amigurumi books that offer complex patterns or require dozens of balls of yarn, Book n°5 Garden Friends focuses on easy, quick, and affordable projects. Each amigurumi requires only a few balls of Happy Chenille and can be completed in a few hours, even by beginners. The patterns are tested and verified by DMC, ensuring precise instructions and professional results.
The "garden friends" theme makes these amigurumi perfect for creating matching sets, seasonal decorations, or personalized gifts. You can make all 5 characters to form a complete collection, or choose your favorite and reproduce it in different color variations. The DMC quality and the clarity of the patterns allow you to achieve satisfying results from your very first attempt.
🎨 What you can make
With the patterns in Book n°5, you can create soft toys for children, nature-themed nursery decorations, handmade party favors for baptisms or birthdays, amigurumi keychains, decorative brooches, or simply collectible dolls. The versatility of the patterns allows for endless customization: change the colors, add embroidered details, or create mini or maxi versions by changing the hook size.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
