I started this month updating my etsy store to contain lots of little animal plushies/keychains. If you’re interested in buying these patterns, please say so! I haven’t digitalized them yet, but if anyone is interested I could always find some time :). I also got an email from another person I met at King’s Day… Read More Wrap Up: June
When reading a pattern, sometimes you might not know what yarn size to use. But I will now show you that (with amigurumi) it’s actually not that important to use the same yarn as the pattern states! When making something that should be a particular size, gauge is very important. Normally, using the right gauge… Read More Basics: Yarn size
If you don’t understand the abbreviations used, you can find them in my faq. If something is between brackets, it means you have to do all in one stitch. You can use any yarn and hook you want, I used cotton yarn with a 2,5 hook. Just make sure you use the right hook size… Read More Free pattern: Flower with leaf
I thought maybe it would be interesting to do a wrap up of everything I made that month! This time I’m doing 2 months, but I’m hoping to make this a monthly thing 🙂 April April was a great month crochet-wise. King’s Day was April 27th and I ended up selling almost everything I had.… Read More Wrap Up: April/May
You can make any molecule using this pattern! I made an ethanol molecule for a friend because it looks like a dog and she studies chemistry 🙂 This was one of the first patterns I made and I found it while cleaning my room. This also explains why the picture is such bad quality …… Read More Free pattern: Ethanol molecule
So what’s up with all these different ways of writing hook sizes? Most patterns use metric, US or UK/Canadian way of describing hooks, but I also have some Japanese hooks I never knew the size of. That’s why I made conversion tables showing the different hook sizes and their conversions. This blog uses the metric… Read More Basics: Crochet Hook Conversion

More shapes! Today is the day for squares and cubes. These are used a lot less frequently than spheres and circles, but they’re tons of fun to work with 🙂 – sc – single crochet – inc – increase (sc2 in one stitch) – dinc – double increase (sc3 in one stitch) – dec –… Read More Shapes: square, cube
With amigurumi, a question often asked is “What hook do I need with this yarn?”, so today I will answer this question :). Using the wrong hook size will not only make your stuffing come out, but can also make crocheting more difficult. Lots of times, your yarn will already give an estimate of which… Read More Basics: Hook size
On to the next shape: Cones! Cones are used in lots of amigurumi and make perfect hats ;). The width of the cone depends amount of stitches between increases, and the height of the cone depends on the amount of rows.
Time for spheres and cylinders! I think spheres are the most used shape in amigurumi, so it’s important to know these shapes by heart 🙂
