Our final course release of 2023 is here! A popular way of making stuffed animals, the new Amigurumi: Crocheting Basic Shapes course taught by Charlotte Lee @charlotte_milkteacup teaches you the skills to tackle many of the amigurumi patterns that are available. Building up shapes through increases and decreases, and then joining the shapes together, makes amigurumi very easy to learn and enjoyable to make.
From selecting supplies, achieving proper gauge, and working through the crochet stitches and shapes, Charlotte will guide you through making her four included Canadian Wildlife patterns: a bird, bear, beaver and whale. They`re a fun way to practice your crochet skills while enjoying some adorable little characters at the end of it all (which, we hope you`ll share some pics with us as well — tag us with #soscrochet and #schoolofsweetgeorgia)!
