All patterns contain detailed instructions and are accompanied by step-by-step pictures and explanations of all techniques used, so both beginners and advanced crocheters can easily get acquainted with her animal band.  Yan suggests starting at the beginning of the book and working to the next animal so that you learn the new techniques that are added to each amigurumi in a systematic but fun way.  Set out on a breathtaking crochet journey with Pica Pau and friends.   Immerse yourself in the wonderful world & marvelous magic of Pica Pau and friends...again!
