Thread: Crochet crochet crochet... Love it!

Thats brilliant! Love your bears. I love amigurumi. Make up my own little patterns as I go too. I knit and other stuff too but crochet is my fav! Where did you get the base pattern for your bears? And for the little dresses your pink bears were wearing how did you plan the fit?

I love crocheting and can also knit. I love to make amigurumis.

I once bought the crochet magazines, I loved them and so badly want to start making stuff but I'm useless I've never had anyone to show me how to do it

Give the youtube videos a go, thats how i learnt. X

Second that! Go through a few and find a series of tutorials that you like. There are loads.

I'll have a browse tomorrow

Do you need to use a certain type of yarn because the one I bought from a shop before I found it went quite fluffy and tight looking compared to what I had with my magazine if that makes sense?

I would use double knit and size 3 hook to get the gauge right. I think that most patterns are size 4 but it as lways seems to big so I must be a loose crocheter.

I've just started to crochet and I love it so far I've been mainly making clothes for my daughters dolls

I made made my own pattern for the bears as i didnt really like th firstvpattern i tried.. All of the clothes i make i just measure and adjust as i go.. I dont think ive ever made the same design twice lol

Ive done a pattern before that took 3-4 different size hooks for all the bits and pieces of the design but it was well worth it lol..
