This crafts book, which contains patterns on how to make adorable felt creatures such as matching bunnies, is basically the cutest thing ever. (Well, ok, I bet you noodled that out from reading the title, but still.) The only drawback is that if you don't know how to sew, you'll want to run out and learn immediately because the stuff in here is so goddamned adorable that you'll want all of it.

This book is full of terrible cute creatures that you could make yourself. Stock up on felt & polish your thimble. I hope you already know how to make a french knot, because you'll be doing it a lot. The front half of the book is loaded with precious creations, and the latter portion has ideas on how to use these adorable creatures in unexpected contexts. It's short & sweet, and really cute, as you might expect.

So much fun. It's a challenge to make the creatures in the book because of their small size, but the basic skills of constructing a stuffed toy are clear and simple. The basic patterns in the book can be enlarged and embellished to create as many different creatures as you can come up with.

Got this book for Christmas. I thought the construction of the animals was too cumbersome (all hand sewn). I never actually finished any of the ones I started, but started amigurumi instead. But cute patterns, would be good for people learning to sew/a rainy afternoon with no kids.

Learn to make cute and bizarre felt friends in The Cute Book. Lots of great pictures and easy-to-follow instructions make this a great book for crafty tweens or teens. I would have loved to make these when I was in my crafty teen years.

I took this out of the library just because I wanted to take a look at it. I'm still mildly obsessed with amigurumi, so I don't think I'll be stitching felt anytime soon. The creatures are pretty darn cute though.

SO CUTE!!!! I love the bits of humor thrown in there as well. I would definitely follow through on some of these crafts if I had the time. I'll be buying this book in the hopes that that happens.

These adorable felt mascots are even tinier than they appear. I think in the future I might blow some of the patterns up just a little bit to make them a touch easier to work with.

this is pretty adorable. I made three tiny plushies so far. it's challenging cutting and sewing on such a small scale but the patterns are great and they are damn cute!

This is the CUTEST BOOK EVER!!! Whether you make the critters shown in this book or not, it is still adorable and will make you want to flip through it again and again.

Good news for the chronically maladroit. You, too, can create adorable crafts with The Cute Book. Easy instructions with pictures to guide you every step of the way.

This stuff is very cute, but apparently you have to practice sewing before you can just start making awesome stuff whenever you want. What a scam.

Nonfiction; craft. Easy-to-make felt "mascots" (small, cute animals to hang from your bookbag, etc.) from Japanese crafters Aranzi Aronzo.

Of course cute! And actually easy to make. I'm using these patterns also to make a family of dolls as gifts for young relatives.

I learned how to make a tiny squirrel friend out of felt. A dream come true, for real!

Cute is right! Patterns for easy to make felt characters, called "mascots."
