Amigurumi is the name commonly given to making toys and figures in crochet, from the Japanese words for ami (knit/crochet), kurumi (wrapping) and nuigurumi (stuffed doll). These creatures vary infinitely in their options and adorableness! For this beginners class we will focus on a main egg shape with added details and embellishments. 

This class is suitable for absolute beginners as well as those with some experience.

PLEASE NOTE: While the children will be taking the class parents will need to be in the building. There is a sofa area and a cafe where you can wait. Bring along a book and enjoy some quiet, or book your own spot to learn together. 

This class requires 50g of DK weight yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook.  These supplies can be purchased from the mini mobile yarn shop on the day or bring your own from home.

I will also have a selection of appropriate yarns available on the day.
