Class Experience
In this multi-course class, students will learn how to read a crochet pattern in order to make a simple and cute octopus. This course is designed for those that already know how to do the basics in crocheting, such as doing a single crochet stitch. If you are just learning how to crochet, I HIGHLY recommend taking my 'Level 1 Crocheting' class first. It will teach you the very basics of crocheting! The first course will be about how to do the basic stitches that are often used in amigurumi,...
- In addition to learning how to read a crochet pattern, the students will also learn the following stitches: Single Crochet Increase Single Crochet Decrease Single Crochet Back Loop only Half Double Crochet Slip Stitch
I have been crocheting for 6 years now, and I specialize in crocheting amigurumi! I have also crocheted plenty of blankets, hats and scarves as well.
REQUIRED: -Yarn: It's best to buy acrylic yarn for this course. Any color is fine! -Crochet hook: the size of the crochet hook does not matter for this lesson, but beginners may have an easier time crocheting with a bigger hook -Scissors -Needle: if using regular needles makes you uncomfortable, you can purchase plastic needles from a hobby store -Stuffing: Poly Fiber Fill, Yarn scraps, or something soft to stuff the octopus with -Stitch Marker (Craft marker used for marking a new row of stitches) OPTIONAL: -Materials for the Octopus's Eyes (Safety Eyes or Felt)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
I will provide videos showing how to do each of the stitches used in making this project. After the second and third course from this lesson, I will also provide a pattern for both making a ball and the octopus.
