Hooked on Shakespeare: Crochet Projects Inspired by The Bard

A wonderfully clever crochet book for makers who love a little literature with their yarn. Hooked on Shakespeare includes 15 projects and more than 30 step-by-step amigurumi characters inspired by Shakespeare’s plays, from Romeo and Juliet to Hamlet, Macbeth’s witches, Titania and Bottom, Cleopatra, Falstaff, and even “Woolliam Shakespeare” himself.

Each project includes a short introduction to the play and characters, followed by colorful instructions and helpful stitch guidance. The designs are approachable for confident beginners, with fully illustrated crochet basics included, but charming enough for experienced crocheters who enjoy detailed little makes.

A fun gift for crocheters, English teachers, theatre lovers, bookish makers, and anyone who thinks Shakespeare could use just a little more yarn.
