Description

Amigurumi is a Japanese word which describes small knitted or crochet animals or characters

This course introduces you to the world of crochet amigurumi.

Amigurumi has become a really popular technique in crochet and it is used to create animals, dollies and other wonderful and cute characters

This course is perfect for those who know the basic crochet stitches, however I have also included tutorials on how to do the stitches needed so it would be suitable for complete beginners.

Together we will work our way through a basic amigurumi pattern to create Dave the Dog. I will show you how to work the magic circle to start your project, how to work the single crochet stitch, how to increase and decrease your stitches (both standard decreases and the invisible decrease) and how to read a crochet pattern.

I love teaching crochet and teach it regularly across the UK, in person, online and at yarn events. I love the mindful aspects that crochet can bring, to help us switch off from the busy world and also create some beautiful and fun projects.

I hope you enjoy completing this course and creating your first ever Amigurumi project. I would love to see your finished Dave the Dogs!
