If you have seen my Looney Tunes amigurumi spotted about in my past few tutorials, I need a couple of pattern testers to help me with it! There are 14 patterns in total, so I may need that number or more to help me.

This is the 3rd part of the ‘Oval Series’.

For some background, do check out a previous tutorial I had on making little spheres using the double crochet bobble stitch method. By further expansion, making a treble crochet bobble will create a longer looking sphere or an ovoid!

As a continuation from my previous tutorial on how to crochet an oval, this time it’s a simple extension into making an ovoid shape! It is making the flat 2D oval into a 3D oval which can be stuffed and sewn onto amigurumis!

This is the start of the ‘Oval Series’. If you have not gone to check out my previous basic ‘Circular Series’, go check it out. It is the most basic way to start amigurumis. For further customization, let’s try out the Oval series!

If you have seen my previous Circular Series, this time it’s all about my Oval Series up next! I have broken it up into 2 parts - the first 3 tutorials are about making oval or ovoid shapes, the next 5 parts is about making pointy ovals (if that makes sense)!.

‘Making Basic Amigurumi Bodies’ showcases 9 different techniques to make a basic humanoid amigurumi body and is a great companion to my free 'Amigurumi Making Basics’ ebook.

This is my first round-up post, brought together some awesome useful blog articles with interesting techniques to learn from.

Surface crocheting is another one of my favourite techniques for making amigurumis, whether it be detailing or even the limbs. This method allows for attachment of separate pieces without the sewing involved at all! I have previously used it in various ways, read on more to see what I mean.

This an interesting little tale I had that happened to me sometime in July. From a simple question I posted on a Facebook Group, it grew into a little movement to help out an old man.!

In the past, there were many occasions where I finished my previous makes and then I felt compelled to start a new collection (it still happens :). Then I often have difficulty coming up with new ideas to create.

I love adapting random crochet techniques into Amigurumi making. This time I turned a popular textured crochet technique for blankets into feet for my amis! Using this special stitch allows me to make standing amigurumis! Read on to find out more.

My previous blog article touched on 3 different methods I use to attach limbs onto amigurumi and the first technique was the seamless technique. From this technique alone, I had a bobble stitch method, an extended half double crochet method and an extended bobble stitch method.

If you find attaching limbs to an amigurumi body a pain, you are not alone. In this post, apart from using a darning needle to sew on limbs onto the body, I utilized 2 additional methods to put these pieces together.

Ok guys, so I’m super excited to reveal my latest series of videos (apart from the Shapes series videos)… and this time, it’s all about how to make this little guy - Ben in his swimming trunks! This time, I have decided to make it different, it’s my first time trying out something like this…

Guys if you have been following my recent posts, then you know I recently had a free pattern release on the Hook Nook blog! This time, it’s my full PDF release! It consists of 22 pages of patterns and 50+ images of Polly in a swimsuit, Buster the ice-cream boy and their ice cream truck!

While we are on the topic on making spheres and cylinders, this was my biggest (and longest) experiment that I did back in 2016. I was trying to make a DIY furniture pouf for my new home back then. Cue the image just below was what I was hoping for. BUT the catch was I wanted to use old recycled T-shirts from my old home!

If you have been following me for a while, then you know I’m a huge fan of bobble stitches. I love using them everywhere in my amis because of its textured appearance. So this time, I’m going to talk about 5 different ways I incorporate bobble stitches into Amigurumi.
