Moogly reviews Arctic Amigurumi, offers giveaway for crochet book
A giveaway puts Arctic Amigurumi within reach, while 18 tundra-inspired animals and beginner-friendly instructions make it a strong shelf pick.
A new crochet book brought an immediate payoff for readers: a chance to win a copy of Arctic Amigurumi: Step-by-Step Patterns for 18 Crochet Animals. The draw was not just the giveaway itself, but the promise of a full themed collection, giving crocheters something more substantial than a one-off pattern and a clearer reason to spend yarn on the project.
Tamara Kelly’s review placed Kristi Simpson and Kimberly Simpson at the center of that appeal. Kristi Simpson, already known as a prolific crochet designer with a long publication list, brought the pattern experience, while Kimberly Simpson added a maker’s eye shaped by broad creative interests and a love of nature. That partnership gave the book a family-made feel that fits its cuddly, animal-forward concept.
Inside, the lineup leans hard into arctic character. The collection includes 18 animals, among them Wiggles the Penguin, Lumi the Orca, Ola the Caribou, and Tuhin the Puffin. The animals come dressed for personality, with accessories such as cozy hats, scarves, sweaters, bows, and more, which makes the book especially appealing for crocheters who like to customize amigurumi instead of stopping at the basic shape. The patterns are written in US terms and described as beginner-to-intermediate friendly, with clear photos, close-ups, and a stitch guide at the back covering both basics and special stitches.
The practical side is just as inviting. Every pattern uses size 4 worsted weight yarn and a size G, 4 mm crochet hook, a combination many crocheters already have in their stash or can grab without much extra planning. That keeps the book accessible while still delivering a polished, cohesive set of finished pieces that read as a collection rather than a random assortment of cute makes.
The giveaway is open in the US and Canada and runs until July 14, 2026. For crocheters who want an arctic menagerie with enough charm to gift, collect, or display as a matching set, this book offers the kind of instant cuteness that can justify both the time and the yarn budget.
