Hello, dear crochet friend, and welcome to the world of Crochet Little Heroes. In the pages of this book, you will find everything you need to recreate twenty iconic heroes with colorful yarns and a crochet hook. In the Projects section, you will meet the twenty incredible women and men who have been chosen from the many contemporary and present-day heroes I admire. During the process of creating these dolls, I got to know every one of them on a deeper level. I became familiar not only with their art, inspiration, or creativity, but also their struggles in life, and the hard work it has taken to overcome them. I’ve had my personal favorites, my own heroes among them, long before writing this book—but during the months I focused on these amazing artists, athletes, activists, and public figures, I managed to fall in love with each and every one of them, as I always found something that took my breath away. From Josephine Baker’s unwavering bravery during World War II and the persistence of Rosa Parks and Malala, to the pure, inevitable talent of Prince, Frida Kahlo, and Audrey Hepburn—most of these heroes were innovators and revolutionists in their field. They were ahead of their time in so many ways. But what makes them special for me, and perhaps for most of us, is that they all made a lasting difference.
