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.

Garden Pals Amigurumi Crochet Pattern


Book Description

Amigurumi is a Japanese word for little stuffed animals. They are usually made from crocheted yarn and have an oversized head. The Japanese word "Ami" means crocheted, and "nuigurumi" means stuffed doll. This is a very easy crochet pattern and great for beginners. The size of the Doll depends on the size of the crochet hook, thickness of yarn and how you stuff them; a bigger hook and thicker yarn makes a bigger doll. A doll stuffed tightly is bigger than one stuffed loosely. Size: The dolls are 3 inches/ 7.5 cm high (excluding ears). This crochet pattern is written with U.S.A. crochet terms: ch = chain, sc = single crochet (UK : dc = double crochet), st = stitch, sl = slip, rnd = round, tog = together. Disclaimer: The finished dolls are not suitable for children under 3 years because of loose parts (the eyes).




KnotMonsters


Book Description

11 crochet patterns included! If you have never crocheted before, NO PROBLEM. Everyone has to start somewhere. In this book, we will be going step by step through ten cute little amigurumi crochet patterns. Also included are basic stitch tutorials to help you along the way. Patterns for many different Organs: Brain Gall Bladder Heart Intestines Kidney Liver Lungs Pancreas Stomach Testes Uterus What started as something to pass the time during quarantine has turned into so much more. These toys bring me joy when I make them and even more when I give them away. I hope that my creations will bring you and your lucky loved ones hours of happiness as well. When I first started, it took me a week just to figure out how to make a ball. It took even longer to get my fingers and hands used to holding a crochet hook. Crocheting can be frustrating at first but like with all things new, your body will develop muscle memory and over time, you will find that it will get easier. Always remember that nothing is hard, only new. There is no right way or wrong way to crochet. Whatever works for you, your body, and your ability is the right way. Crochet is an art form and like all art forms, is open to personal interpretation. Crochet patterns function as guidelines only, and I encourage you to bring your own artistic flair to each pattern. Do not be afraid to use different hooks or types of yarn. Experiment by changing the colors. Add accessories, modify the body shape, and bring your own individual spice to each pattern. Sometimes it will work; most of the time, it will not, and that is perfectly fine because in the end, you will end up with something that is yours. Something that you created. Your own little knotmonster.
