Date: Wednesday, 6th August  

 

Tutor: Sarah Barclay. Crochet is good for the mind, body and soul! Being able to share my knowledge and therefore the benefits of this craft, is my way of giving back and making my corner of the world a better, more colourful place.

 

Description: Amigurumi is a Japanese word consisting of two parts, ami meaning crochet or knit, and nuigurumi which is literally “small, stuffed doll”. These days, amigurumi refers to more than just dolls, it can be anything from animals to food and other objects. 

 

Learn the basics of making 3D shapes in crochet that will be the key to carry on and explore more of your crochet journey. We will cover shaping by increasing and decreasing stitches and the number sequences needed to create different shapes. You will learn how to read an amigurumi crochet pattern and we will work together to make a small Octopus for you to take home at the end of the class. 

 

This class is ideal for intermediate crocheters who have the ability to create a magic circle for casting on, and who want to branch out and learn new things.
