If you happened to miss my pattern tester call, no worries, I have the Bugs Bunny pattern here for free! He works up pretty fast and I did need some additional supplies this time which included some recycled white cloth and a permanent black marker.

Since you have mastered the Circular series , aka circles, spheres and cylinders, (and some of Oval series), try your hand at this free Tweety Bird amigurumi pattern! It has all the circular elements you need to test out the new skills and works up fairly fast. 

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!

2. How to crochet a circle - using Magic ring (part 2)

3. How to crochet a sphere - crochet in a round (part 1)

4. How to crochet a sphere - bobble stitch (part 2)

5. How to crochet a cylinder

This is the final tutorial in the Circular series. Of course, there will be more shape tutorials! This time I will be talking about crocheting cylinders. I often use this method to make the amigurumi body.

This time, I will be making a tiny little sphere on an existing flat circle, it is the same technique I used to make little tiny limbs for most of my early amigurumis.

There are 2 parts to how to crochet a sphere. This is the 1st part just simply sing crochet in a round technique. In the next post, I will be covering how to use bobble stitches instead to create mini spheres as well.

This is the 2nd part on how to crochet a circle. Check out the 1st part on how I used a chain 2 and single crochet method to crochet a circle.

Previously I mentioned about how to start a round with that method but we do end up with a gap in the centre. When using the magic ring technique, you can pull the free end of the yarn taut such that the gap disappears!

This is the start of my ‘Shapes series’, some parts will overlap with my ‘Back to Basics series’ but these tutorials will be broken down into various 2D and 3D shapes. A lot of these techniques are how I shape my amigurumi.
