Anderson as she leads you step by step through the construction of three loveable projects that will make your heart melt!
Included in this class are downloadable, exclusive pattern instructions for the Corn Dog/Pronto Pup, Boba Bunny, and the Catburger. Brenda designed these projects specifically for this class and these patterns are not available anywhere else!
In this class, you will begin by making man’s best friend, Corn Dog. This project is suitable for amigurumi beginners, but even advanced stitchers will want one of their very own! Brenda has lots of tips and tricks for those working with the chenille yarn featured in these projects, but she also has suggestions for those who plan to substitute with regular acrylic or wool yarns too.
Next Brenda shows us how to create the Boba Bunny! This project builds on the skills learned when making the Corn Dog, and adds a few more details, amigurumi tricks and skills to the mix.
Brenda finishes this class by demonstrating how to make the over-the-top-cute Catburger. In this project you will learn how to create a more complex amigurumi, although it is much easier than it looks!
Throughout this class, Brenda shares some unusual techniques to make the assembly and sewing easier, and surprising materials to create the structure needed without sacrificing the hug-abitity of your project.
With over 5 hours of clear video instruction, you are sure to kick your crochet skills up a notch! Whether you are new to Amigurumi, trying to up your amigurumi game, or you are simply looking for projects to fall in love with, this is the class for you!
