The Japanese art of miniature crochet creations, called amigurumi, creates quite possibly some of the cutest crochet items you'll ever see. In Ice Box Crochet , designed by Wai Yee Ng, you'll learn to make a tiny vintage refrigerator. When the fridge is done, you'll have a blast making over 40 tiny --and impossibly delicious-- looking food items to fill it. This fun book has everything from your basic pantry staples like bread, butter, fruits, veggies, and eggs to delicious treats like cupcakes, donuts, sushi, and steaming mugs of coffee. With so many fantastic patterns, you are sure to find something to tickle your crafty side and your taste buds. And don't fret, the author has even included trays and dishes so you can “serve” your treats in style.

These faux foods make fun toys, as well as fantastic home decorations and magnets. If you have a little one in the house, work up any or all of these patterns in a heavier weight yarn for a fun new imaginative play set that is easy to hold and manipulate.

Best part of all this food, it's calorie-free and just as cute as can be. Make the whole set, or just a few of your favorites. Either way, you're going to love this book and the adorable patterns.
