Yummi ‘Gurumi features over 60 “recipes” to guide crafters, with techniques easy enough for beginners yet adaptable to keep crochet connoisseurs interested. Each delectable dish takes less than an hour or two to make using stitch guides, clear illustrations, and easy-to-follow instructions. Some recipes for crafting cuisine art include:
