Crochet Stories: ETA Hoffmann's The Nutcracker

Lindsay Smith

Description

Experience the enduring charms of the holiday classic in an entirely different way! This version of the beloved tale is illustrated with full-colour images of crocheted characters. Each chapter of the adventure – from the Christmas Eve party to the fierce battle between the Nutcracker and the Mouse King to the visit to Toyland and beyond – features complete instructions for crocheting charming representations of the story's personalities and props.

Twelve easy-to-follow patterns depict Marie and her Nutcracker, the Mouse King, the enchanted clock, a Christmas tree surrounded by wrapped gifts and other festive figures. Well-illustrated instructions specify yarn colours, materials, gauge and abbreviations for stitches, and a techniques section offers guidance.

These amigurumi figures are keepsake treasures that will brighten every holiday season.
