*Combines two hot trends--crochet and Japanese style

*Crochet has made an amazing comeback, as reported in several fashion and craft magazines including InStyle and Lucky. The Stitch and Bitch crochet book, The Happy Hooker debuted at #1 on the Bookscan craft bestseller list the month of its release.

*Features amigurumi, which is Japanese for "knitted or crochet dolls," and fashionable, fun and uber-hip projects that will appeal to hipster crafters and indie knitters as well as tweens and teen knitters and beginners

Mr. Funky features 30 projects including stuffed animals (amirgurumi) and wearable accessories such as scarves, hats, crochet flowers, headbands, a water bottle carrier, fun kids stuff and more. Readers who love Hello Kitty, bohemian 70's inspired fashion, and Japanese style will love these supercute projects. All of the projects are easy, super-hip and quick to make--perfect for teen knitters and beginners--and all feature inexpensive craft store yarns (i.e. Bernat and Lion Brand).
