Gudetama's name literally translates to "lazy egg," and it's how we all feel sometimes when it comes to, well, pretty much anything. But if you're the kind of person who doesn't have time for complicated crafts or dealing with other people, then this collection of 30 Gudetama-inspired designs are just for you.

First, you'll learn cross-stitching basics including tools and techniques and how to read a cross-stitch chart. Then you'll apply your new skills to a range of hilarious and lovable patterns organized into chapters like Lazy, Medium-Lazy, and Pay Attention--depending on how sluggish or motivated you're feeling. Finally, you'll be able to apply your masterpieces to projects like gift tags, greeting cards, and ornaments.

Whether you're an experienced cross-stitcher or new to the craft, you'll find a variety of poses and patterns in this book that are accessible and easy to learn. With a little patience and practice, anyone can bring these Gudetama-inspired masterpieces to life. And if not, just take a nap.
