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. 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 There are two ways in which you can crochet in the round. In the following video you can see how to make a circle, starting with a chain of 2.

Ideal Crochet Sphere (Mathematically!) with pattern Whenever I have to crochet a sphere, I always pull out the tried and true method: increase by the same number of stitches each row for a little while, work the rows even for the middle bit, then decrease by the same number of stitches each row until you're finished. Once it's stuffed, this makes a decent sphere! Plus, it's a super easy pattern to remember. But it got me to thinking, how would I go about making an ideal sphere? After I got bored asking google, I threw a little bit of math at it. These are two spheres that I made this way: I included the pattern for the 2 spheres at the end of this post. I found it tricky to figure out how to squeeze a weird number of increases into a row where they in no way fit evenly, so let me know how these patterns work out for you if you try these! My conclusion for this sphere method: it's really fun and it makes a pretty nice looking sphere, but the tried and true method is just waaay easier! Also, math is fun! The Patterns: 20 Row Sphere:
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.
