Just got Pica PaU 3 and OMG, she is a genius, each one of these patterns is absolutely adorable. I'm a beginner and I find her patterns easy to read, organized, and too cute for my heart to contain.

Pica Pau animals are by far the most incredible and creative crochet creatures I’ve ever seen. I love their faces, I love their fabulous outfits, I love the color suggestions, they’re perfect. I can’t recommend this enough!

What I’ve always found so incredible about Yan’s designs is that she can take something that is fairly simple, and give it so much personality and make it so whimsical, and I think that’s what makes a truly gifted amigurumi designer. I really do credit Yan Schenkel for teaching me how to make amigurumi.

This is the third book I’ve bought from this author and I am so impressed with the quality of the books. They are all so beautiful with plenty of pictures, stitch guides, easy to follow patterns and a variety of new stitches. I’ve made quite a few of the patterns and they all turn out exactly like the picture.
