Crochet Critters Workshop

Join a crochet workshop on 27 January 2024 making mini stuffed toys, from 1pm until 4pm.

In this workshop, attendees will be venturing into the amazing world of Amigurimi, the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting a stuffed toy.

The instructor will cover all the crochet elements that are needed to make your own cute squishy toy, including invisible increasing and invisible decreasing, working in the round, creating a magic ring and reading Amigurimi patterns.

Once you have mastered this amazing skill a whole new world of crochet will open up for you.

A crochet hook, stitch marker (very important for this type of crochet) yarn, stuffing and safety eyes and supporting written materials and a pattern will be provided.

Not suitable for complete beginners.
