Amigurumi Tutorial 3 (additional techniques) | Hook and Needles: Knitting and Crochet Blog (cool stuff, techniques, and things I find) In the first amigurumi tutorial I went over the basic crochet techniques needed to make amigurumis. In the second installment, I explained the most common types of patterns, and how to read them. In this final amigurumi tutorial I’ll cover some additional techniques often used when making amigurumis. Other Crochet Stitches Although most amigurumis are made with the single crochet stitch shown in the first tutorial, you are often required to use other stitches to shape your doll. Slip Stitch (sl st) Half Double Crochet (hdc) Double Crochet (dc) Triple Crochet also known as Treble Crochet (trc or tr) Font Post or Front Loop, Back Post or Back Loop (fl or fp, bl or bp) Working with Color You’ll often want to add a splash of color to your projects. If you are working in stripes, you’ll want them to be as jogless as possible.
If you find a better way to the jogless stripes, let me know. Adding Faces Your amigurumi won’t be complete until you add a cute face to it. Keep safety in mind. Closing words. Amigurumi Tutorial 2 (how to read patterns) | Hook and Needles: Knitting and Crochet Blog (cool stuff, techniques, and things I find) In part 1 of the Amigurumi Tutorial I showed some of the basic crochet techniques needed to make an amigurumi. In part 2, I’ll go over amigurumi patterns and how to read them. There are three basic kinds of patterns for amigurumi: Regular patterns: much like knitting patterns, they explain what to do in each row. These patterns are easier for beginners. Most patterns are written in this manner. Regular patterns To be able to read a pattern you first need to know what the standard abbreviations are.
Beg – beginning or begin.ch(s) – chain (pulling the yarn through the loop once, like when making a chain).dec – decrease (usually by crocheting 2 stitches together: sc2tog)inc – increase one (usually done by making two stitches in the same stitch).rep – repeat.rnd(s) – roundsc – single crochet.sc2tog – single crochet 2 stitches together (a decrease).2 sc in next sc – 2 single crochet in the next single crochet (an increase).sk – skip a stitch (another way to decrease)st(s) – stitches Row Charts. Amigurumi Tutorial 1 (learn how to crochet) | Hook and Needles: Knitting and Crochet Blog (cool stuff, techniques, and things I find) This tutorial is for all of you knitters who wish to learn how to make amigurumis. In the first part of this tutorial I’ll go over the basic crochet techniques you need to master. I know most people are visual learners, so I’m using a lot of videos (they may take some time to load). Step 1: How to hold your yarn (make a chain too) If you are a thrower (hold your yarn in your right hand), you’ll have to learn to hold your yarn on the left.
It will feel awkward, but with time it will become easier. The following video shows you how to hold your yarn and make a chain. This is how I hold the yarn and hook, but you need to find what feels natural to you. Step 2: Single crochet, increasing and decreasing Most amigurumis are done in spirals of single crochets. In order to give shape to your creations you need to increase and decrease. And here is how to decrease: Another way to decrease is to skip a stitch, but I find that that leaves a gap. Setp 3: Single Crochet in Spirals to make a ball. DROPS Pattern Library: Crochet patterns. DROPS pattern library contains patterns, and it keeps growing every day!
