First, through a crochet survival guide we will know all the materials we will need, we will see their classifications (the types of needle and threads), techniques to select the correct size of the needle according to the thread to work, we will list the types of stitches, their names, abbreviations, unit systems for the numbering of needles, some tips about the correct use of materials, among other topics to be addressed.
Then we will learn step by step, the position with which we must hold the needle when crocheting, the stitches necessary to make amigurumis, always giving tips that can greatly facilitate learning.
The next stage is learning flat shapes, such as the square, rectangle, triangle, and oval. I will give you some very good tips so that you can work the circular patterns in the best way.
Now with these bases learned, it's time to crochet amigurumis. Each amigurumi has a reason to be there. We will crochet an Angry Bird step by step, with which you will learn to crochet the famous ball pattern, you will learn how to use the sewing or "wool needle" (to join the parts of our amigurumis). By crocheting a Christmas tree, you will learn to make an amigurumi only using flat figures (believe me, is possible). The flowers could not be missing, with them you will learn new stitches and learn to combine several. With the ice cream cone project, you will learn the cone pattern. Put everything you have learned into practice with the most complex project, which is the minion, with which you will show yourself that you are ready to make the amigurumis you want, which are waiting for you on the web.
The course does not stop there, learn a little about the process of creating patterns for your own amigurumis by crocheting a cupcake, which I applyied to the cute amigurumis that you will crochet and I will stimulate your creativity to see further, with functional ideas in which you can use your amigurumis, which can even become business ideas.
