My Favorites

My favorite amigurumi patterns from More Crochet Iconic Women are:

• Harriet Tubman – my son did a project last year on Harriet Tubman and I wish we had learned about her when I went to school (many moons ago). She was very important in saving slaves find safety and freedom with the Underground Railroad. She continued helping people after slavery was abolished and she was known for assisting black people find health care and jobs. She truly dedicated her entire life to helping others.
• Helen Keller – when I was a child we had the book series (Value Tales). I remember this book to this day and have always felt amazed that someone who lost their sight and hearing at such a young age was able to make such a huge difference during her lifetime. She was a disability advocate, political activist and lecturer.

I love that More Crochet Iconic Women is helping spread the word about women who made a difference to those around them and an impact on the world. If you missed book 1 in this series, Crochet Iconic Women, it included the following characters:

Marie Curie • Cleopatra • Queen Elizabeth II • Malala Yousafzai • Rosa Parks • Billie Holiday • Ruth Bader Ginsburg • Serena Williams • Greta Thunberg • Jane Goodall • Amelia Earhart • Jane Austen • Florence Nightingale • Audrey Hepburn • Emmeline Pankhurst

I recommend both books because of their inspiring content and the wonderful patterns that are included.
