Her designs are also regularly featured in craft magazines. Anna is also a workshop tutor, teaching knitting and crochet across the UK.

SABRINA SOMERS

Sabrina Somers is somewhat new to crochet, but her amazing patterns are far from amateurish! She is a young crocheter – she’s 25 years old – and her patterns are inspired by pop culture and video games: Pokémon, Adventure Time, Plants vs. Zombies, Mario, Despicable Me, Animal Crossing and Winnie the Pooh. Her work is a brilliant example of how crochet can be used to create fun and unconventional pieces, that target a younger group of crocheters.

Pocket Amigurumi|itself is loosely based on and inspired by the Pokemon Go app that was trending at the end of 2016; it also taps into the popularity of POP! Vinyl figures and amigurumi. These manga/kawaii-inspired plushies stand at 10cm (4in) tall and have a chibi-like appearance (known as “super deformed” – over-sized head, tiny bodies, and large comic eyes). These|crochet monsters are not only adorable to look at but are fun and vibrant projects to crochet and tuck into your (or your kid's) pocket.

The patterns are all made with one size crochet hook – 2.5mm (US B/1), and there is also a "crochet basics" section at the beginning of the book, meaning these are perfect little projects for new crocheters to sink their teeth (or hook!) into.|

Sabrina has her own website called Sabrina’s Crochet, and she sells her patterns here and via Etsy, Ravelry and Love Knitting. She is also very active on social media: her Facebook page has over 9,000 followers, and receives around 100 likes per post. On her website she has regular giveaways, discounts and competitions with her own patterns, which are well received by her numerous followers; these also feed onto her Facebook page. Since working on her book she has opened an Instagram account – @sabrina_somers – and has started adding photos of current projects onto here too. Interestingly, a hashtag #sabrinasomerspattern existed on Instagram before she was even on there – used by a couple of popular crocheters on Instagram, including Brazilian crocheter Bonek de Croche – which shows how popular her patterns are!

Key Selling Points 20 mini monsters to crochet and collect Manga and Pokémon Go-inspired plushies that stand at 10cm (4in) tall – perfect for peeping out of your pocket Create a whole array of creatures for a stronger team, from a sprout-like sidekick|to a spiky wolf companion!

Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions with templates in a handy sized book Great little gifts for all ages – if they can handle them!

About The Author Hazel Blomkamp has dabbled with all the needlecrafts since childhood. When her children were babies she developed a passion for embroidery to break the tedium of life with toddlers, using it as her evening reward for having survived the day with her sanity intact.

Her children are now young adults and she still embroiders in front of the television every night. She has been designing for the past 18 years. Preferring to design projects which appear to be traditional, she pushes the boundaries by introducing other forms of needlecraft into traditional techniques. Along with designing, she runs a busy website from home. She teaches at her home studio, in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa and travels throughout South Africa and to Australia teaching embroidery and fine beadwork. She is a regular contributor to South African and Australian embroidery magazines and is a columnist for the South African Stitches Magazine.
