Class Description: Join the Amigurumi Antics! Amigurumi is the extremely popular art of crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures and things. The term comes from two Japanese words “ami” meaning crocheted or knitted, and “gurumi” which means stuffed doll. Antics was added to the title of this class because it is so fun to crochet cute little 3D creatures that come alive right before your eyes. In this class we will be creating a little sheep while we learn, discuss, and practice the following skills/techniques of crocheting Amigurumi: basic stitches and tension, getting started options including magic ring, crocheting in the round and in spirals, increasing and decreasing stitches, adding new yarn/color, and finishing techniques. Once you have crochet this little guy you will be prepared to join the millions of other crocheters that have fallen down the Amigurumi rabbit hole!
