Getting Started with Your Koala So the first koala I made was back in spring 2022 when I was binge-watching that show Severance and honestly I kept having to rewind because I’d lose count of my stitches. But anyway, koalas are actually one of the easier amigurumi animals because they’re basically just round shapes stacked […]
okay so raccoons are actually easier than you’d think I made my first raccoon back in spring 2022 when I was binge-watching that weird documentary series about cults and just needed something to do with my hands. The pattern itself isn’t complicated but there’s this one thing about the tail stripes that drove me absolutely […]
Making the Basic Mouse Shape So basically you’re gonna start with the head and work down to the body as one continuous piece which honestly makes it way easier than trying to sew a million parts together later. I made my first mouse in spring 2022 when I was stuck at home with nothing to […]
Getting Started with the Hippo Body So the body is basically just a big oval and you’re gonna start with a magic ring. I made my first hippo in summer 2022 while my sister was visiting and she kept asking why I was making “a lumpy potato” which honestly wasn’t wrong at that stage. You […]
Getting Started with the Basic Body Shape So the flamingo body is basically just an oval when you think about it, which means you’re gonna start with a magic ring and work in continuous rounds. I made my first flamingo in summer 2022 while watching that ridiculous reality show about people buying islands and it […]
Getting Started with Cat Amigurumi So the first time I actually finished a cat amigurumi was summer 2022 and honestly I was watching this terrible reality show the whole time which probably explains why one ear ended up bigger than the other. But anyway, you’re gonna need some basic supplies and the good news is […]
Getting Started With Your Llama Thing So basically you’re gonna need worsted weight yarn for this, I used Red Heart Super Saver in like cream or off-white for the body when I made one last spring 2022 because my niece wouldn’t stop talking about llamas. The stuff is cheap and honestly works fine even though […]
Making the Body and Getting Started okay so the axolotl thing – I made one last spring 2023 when I was supposed to be doing literally anything else but my sister wanted one for her desk at work and I figured why not. The body is basically just a tube shape which sounds simple but […]
Getting Started With Amigurumi Animals So basically you need a smaller hook than you think. Like way smaller. I was making this frog in summer 2022 and used a 4mm hook because that’s what I had and the stuffing kept poking through the stitches which was super annoying. Get a 2.5mm or 3mm hook depending […]
Getting Started with Disney Characters So the main thing with Disney crochet patterns is you gotta decide if you’re doing amigurumi or flat stuff like blankets because that changes everything. I made my first Mickey Mouse in summer 2022 while binging The Crown and honestly it was way harder than I thought it’d be. The […]
