If you have been following me for a while, then you know I’m a huge fan of bobble stitches. I love using them everywhere in my amis because of its textured appearance. So this time, I’m going to talk about 5 different ways I incorporate bobble stitches into Amigurumi.

This time, I will be making a tiny little sphere on an existing flat circle, it is the same technique I used to make little tiny limbs for most of my early amigurumis.

Hey guys! My latest ‘Ice Cream Babies’ set has landed on the Hook Nook blog! I was so excited to be featured there, she has so many other amazing artists there showcasing different types of crochet work!

Picked up a crochet hook and did something non-Amigurumi for once in a long time! This was a gift from my brother and his family back when I started crocheting. At that time, I left it aside because I was making mainly Amigurumi.

Guys, I’m super excited to unveil this soon! It’s a pattern feature on Hook Nook and it’s one of my more complex ones to date…

There are 2 parts to how to crochet a sphere. This is the 1st part just simply sing crochet in a round technique. In the next post, I will be covering how to use bobble stitches instead to create mini spheres as well. 

Anyone else super excited on watching the Loki series? He’s got to be one of my favourite Avengers characters and for that, decided to just drop this free Classic Loki pattern for all you fangirls!

This Captain America Earring is a quick easy way to test out your skills at crocheting circles and starting off with a magic ring!

In this pattern, there are intentionally no half double crochet, double crochet, invisible decrease, for easier reference. Some useful external links also around to help out.

This is the 2nd part on how to crochet a circle. Check out the 1st part on how I used a chain 2 and single crochet method to crochet a circle.

Previously I mentioned about how to start a round with that method but we do end up with a gap in the centre. When using the magic ring technique, you can pull the free end of the yarn taut such that the gap disappears!

This is the start of my ‘Shapes series’, some parts will overlap with my ‘Back to Basics series’ but these tutorials will be broken down into various 2D and 3D shapes. A lot of these techniques are how I shape my amigurumi. 

I’m super excited to unveil my latest series of tutorials, and it’s my very first attempt at video tutorials! Go check it out here or on YouTube and remember to pin the image above if you found it useful!

Guys, I’m so exciting about showing you this! It’s been something I’ve been working on for a while. It’s basically an accumulation of all the different hairstyle techniques I used for all my past amigurumi collections!

This time, I will be covering hair-head attachments. These techniques are more for attaching wig caps to the Amigurumi heads. I know some crocheters like to use glue but for the purposes here, it will all be sewing techniques.

Adding back ponytail or side pigtails is a great way to simulate a long tied up hairstyle. It involves crocheting a separate piece and attaching it onto the head at various different locations.

Making fringes can add additional detailing to the hairstyle of the amigurumi. In this case, I am making a centre-parted fringe. This is arguably one of the most frequently used type of bangs because it is a frequently used hairstyle.

Thor on the left has a wig cap, whereas Thor on the right has yellow yarn hair sewed directly onto the head. There are different methods to make amigurumi hair and the final results can look quite different. Check out this old post on 5 ways to make amigurumi hair, if you have not seen it previously. 

There are several techniques I like to use to make amigurumi hair and they involve different methods to create different effects. In this post, I will be going through the various techniques involved and how they look eventually at the end.
