Amigurumi: Woodland Animals
with Stacey Trock
Brand-new crocheters will learn the basics, while crochet vets will enjoy making these whimsical toys: bear, deer, raccoon and bluebird.
Melting hearts and lifting spirits everywhere, four adorable forest creatures are simple and stress-free to make when you take Stacey Trock's new Craftsy class, Amigurumi Woodland Animals!
Crocheted toys in the Japanese style are all the rage, and Stacey specializes in them, as a pattern designer, author and guiding light behind the Fresh Stitches blog. In this class, Stacey shares her best tips for choosing yarns and hooks, marking and counting stitches, stuffing, assembling, and finishing with child-safe details. Even a rookie crocheter will enjoy this class, while experienced crocheters will love the four included patterns - a sturdy bear, winsome deer, mischievous raccoon and non-angry bluebird.

Love this class!
After taking this class, you'll feel like you can accomplish anything when it comes to crocheting adorable amigurumi! It definitely helps to know the basics of crochet, though Stacey does give you a primer in lesson 2. The real gold is the amigurumi-specific techniques that are shared throughout each lesson. You can read my detailed class review on my blog (link below), but the long and short of it is: this class is awesome and you should definitely sign up!
Wonderful and educational!
I'm a pretty new crocheter, in fact I learned to crochet just to make amigurumis. But I had trouble getting started on my own, the patterns I found looked intimidating. I'm so glad I found this course, Stacey is a great teacher, she guided me through making 4 animals, learning great tips along the way. Now I feel confident to tackle those patterns in books I have that seemed so scary before! Seriously, with this course, *anybody* can learn to make amigurumis! Stacey shows you everything you ...

Lots of fun!
I took this class to learn a bit more about crochet since I can only do the basics. I gained confidence with crochet and had fun with some low-stress projects. The instruction is very clear.
Inspiring and Fun
I have crocheted off and on for over 40 years, but had never made animals. I thought it sounded fun so thought I would try it. Stacey made the class so fun and interesting. She is easy to understand and clearly shows how to do everything. I actually learned some new tips like the sloppy slip knot and how to crochet in the round with markers. I have signed up for her Design Your Own Monster class and plan to make a lot of animals to donate to children as well as my own grandchildren.
Really Great Class!!!
This was a very enjoyable class (and my very 1st Craftsy class)! I learned to knit a few years ago, but I'd never sat down and figured out how to crochet. I have a thing for cute animals, and so when I found out about Amigurumi, I knew I'd have to learn.
This was the perfect class for me; it was basic enough for a beginner and taught me how to crochet as I went, but I also felt like I learned something valuable each time I progressed to a new lesson. The video lessons were super ...
