Knowing stitches is one thing, but knowing how to put them together into actual shapes and designs? That’s where the real game begins. These tutorials go beyond individual stitches and into the territory of Amigurumi design – how to crochet balls and spheres in any size, how to work in the oval for more natural shapes, how to join parts without sewing your soul away and how to do pixel art with tapestry crochet. This is the stuff that takes you from following patterns to creating your own.
