Knotmonsters


Book Description

¡12 patrones de crochet incluidos! Si nunca antes ha tejido a ganchillo, NO HAY PROBLEMA. Todo el mundo tiene que empezar por algún lado. En este libro, vamos a ir paso a paso a través de diez lindos patrones de ganchillo amigurumi. También se incluyen tutoriales básicos de puntadas para ayudarlo en el camino. Patrones para muchas plantas de interior diferentes: Echeveria suculenta Sansevieria (planta de serpiente) Bambú de la suerte Aloe vera Palmera Venus atrapamoscas Árbol Sedum suculento Árbol bonsai Plantas colgantes x 3 Lo que comenzó como algo para pasar el tiempo durante la cuarentena se ha convertido en mucho más. Estos juguetes me alegran cuando los hago y más aún cuando los regalo. Espero que mis creaciones les traigan a usted y a sus afortunados seres queridos horas de felicidad también. Cuando comencé, me tomó una semana descubrir cómo hacer una pelota. Me tomó aún más tiempo acostumbrar mis dedos y manos a sostener un ganchillo. Tejer a ganchillo puede ser frustrante al principio, pero al igual que con todas las cosas nuevas, su cuerpo desarrollará la memoria muscular y, con el tiempo, descubrirá que se volverá más fácil. Recuerda siempre que nada es difícil, solo nuevo. No existe una forma correcta o incorrecta de tejer a crochet. Todo lo que funcione para usted, su cuerpo y su capacidad es el camino correcto. El crochet es una forma de arte y, como todas las formas de arte, está abierto a la interpretación personal. Los patrones de ganchillo funcionan solo como pautas, y te animo a que aportes tu propio estilo artístico a cada patrón. No tenga miedo de usar diferentes ganchos o tipos de hilo. Experimente cambiando los colores. Agregue accesorios, modifique la forma del cuerpo y agregue su propio sabor individual a cada patrón. A veces funcionará; la mayoría de las veces, no será así, y eso está perfectamente bien porque al final, terminarás con algo que es tuyo. Algo que creaste. Tu propio pequeño knotmonster.
