Amigurumi 101Saturday June 4, 1-4 pm
Fee: $35 plus $5 materials
Instructor: Emily
Amigurumi is a Japanese term for knitting or crocheting three-dimensional shapes. Over the last few years, amigurumi has become the catch-all term for adorable, Japanese-style crocheted animals and shapes. In this class students will make their own adorable crocheted creatures and learn the "magic ring" start, tips for increasing, decreasing, adding safety eyes, stuffing, and embroidering facial features onto the crocheted creatures. Students will also learn how to read basic Japanese crochet patterns, which are always printed as charts.
PREREQUISITES: Students must be able to chain, single crochet, and work in the round.
MATERIALS: At least 100 yards of worsted weight yarn, preferably wool or a wool blend. (Small Balls or Pigmy Wool balls are great for small amigirumi projects.)
Crochet hook one to two sizes smaller than called for by yarn (E, F, or G hooks recommended for worsted weight yarn)
Tapestry needles for sewing in ends. Fiber fill and safety eyes will be covered by materials fee.
