Amigurumi: Design Your Own Monster
with Stacey Trock
Learn pattern design by doodling a monster and bringing it to life. Combine body shapes and parts to create wild crocheted creatures.
When you think "cute," do you visualize puppies or kittens or bunnies? I think MONSTERS! Amigurumi monsters, to be specific. I would love to show you how to design and crochet your own cuddly, super-adorable amigurumi monster! My class, Amigurumi: Design Your Own Monster will show you every step of the planning and design process so that making them is a breeze!
I've been crocheting for more than 20 years, with a particular love for making monsters and animals. The secret to creative crocheting is smart planning and good design. I'll guide you through a range of different body shapes (circle, cylinder, sphere) and parts (arms, legs, folded ears, ruffle) and teach different methods of combining them to create unique and wild crocheted creatures. To help you along, I'm also including eight monster patterns. Make them just as I do, or customize them to make your own!
My class is fun, thorough, and guaranteed to meet your expectations or Craftsy will refund your money, no questions asked. Once you're registered, you can watch it when you want, and as many times as you'd like. I'm here to answer all your questions, and offer my encouragement and insight.
Enroll in my class today, and make amigurumi monsters that will haunt your dreams ... in a good way!

Amigurumi is for Anyone!
I tried crocheting amigurumi from a pattern a few years back and had such a hard time I quit half way through. I was hesitant to take this class thinking that maybe amigurumi just wasn't the thing for me. Now I know that amigurumi can be for ANYONE! When I applied Stacey's tips and tricks I flew through my first monster (drawn by my daughter) and then had my son and husband draw one too!
This class is SO MUCH FUN! I loved following Stacey through the design process from start to ...
My first craftsy course
This is the first course I've done and I am really impressed! I loved the Amigurumi class with Stacy! She's a great teacher and takes her time to show every step.
The note taking and ability to go back to all the classes and ask questions and participate in the forum, I can see all will be really beneficial to me! I think it's really worth the price, the value is tremendous!
I had my niece and nephew draw me some monsters so I'm going to get to creating them and then ...
Enjoyable & inspiring :).
Another awesome Craftsy course :). I've really enjoyed this course. Well structured and very informative :).
I can't wait for my kids to start drawing monsters so I can try turning them into Amigurumi Monsters :).
Thanks Stacey :).
Very enjoyable and informative
I have really enjoyed this class. Although I am an experienced crocheter I learned a lot about how to apply the skills to designing.
Stacey is an enthusiastic and fun demonstrator :-)
I enjoyed that Stacey encourages one to use what is to hand rather than prescribing specific yarns. The emphasis is on doing your own thing, adapting and changing to create something unique and personal.
The only thing that really bugged me is she keeps saying 'arm-u-grumi' ...
A great fun class!
In addition to learning how to create some really fun and funky monsters, helpful techniques are shared and the instructor is energetic and engaging.
