Are there Holes in the Fabric? Try this…

A very common problem  that we have when crocheting amigurumis is that sometimes the stitches open and you see the filling inside, which is not very aesthetic.

This can happen for several reasons:

1.- Size of the hook:

It is possible that the crochet hook is not the most suitable for the thickness of yarn that you use and crocheting with it, the stitches remain more separated than they should.

Try crocheting with a smaller needle.

How to Crochet Ringlets for the Hair of your Amigurumis

Hello weaver!

Today I bring you a tutorial that will come great to you if you want to make ringlets for the hair of your amigurumis.

You may have already seen them in some of my patterns, as in the Unicorn Witch or the Christmas elf.

We can make the ringlets separately or on an crocheted base that will have already the shape and size that we need. Here, for example, I have crocheted an elongated piece that, once the ringlets are added, will become the manes of our unicorn witch.

Animagumis: 15 patterns to crochet yarn animals

I confess that it is the most important project that I have faced so far, not only because they are unpublished patterns, but because I wanted their design to be very special.

From the beginning I had the firm intention to correspond to the support that you and other colleagues give me, and what a better way than to follow many of the ideas and suggestions that you have given to me with so much affection.

Each little animal is designed so that you can separate it from the character it represents, that is, you can remove the clothes and accessories whenever you want. By this way you have 2 patterns in 1, the animal and the character.
