What is Amigurumi? Amigurumi is a Japanese term that refers to the beautiful and artful technique of crocheting stuffed animals, people and other 3D objects
This workshop is for the advanced beginner that is familiar with basic crochet stitches; the Magic Ring, Single Crochet stitch, the Increase stitch and Invisible Decrease stitch. Kris will teach you how to crochet ‘in the round” using the Magic Ring and a series of increase and decrease stitches to create Patrick the Giraffe! Workshop will include pattern, with detailed instructions and pictures. If you are unable to finish your giraffe during the workshop, there will be an opportunity to attend a free open studio session for any additional help needed.
Students who need instruction on the above stitches, Kris has scheduled a beginner crochet Amigurumi workshop (Please see class calendar).
