Crochet is a fantastic technique for creating 3D creatures and flowers. It really helps you to manipulate the yarn into becoming something amazing that can have a life of it’s own or to simply look pretty.
It’s a quick craft and in no time you can have something beautiful emerge right before your eyes.
When I learnt to crochet, I really wanted to learn to make 3D items. Not content with crocheting clothing and blankets, I wanted to master the art of ‘amigurumi’ – the art of making small crochet’d toys. It was from this that I decided to create and sell my How to Crochet kits.
Included in the kit is everything you need to make both a cute creature and a flower hairgrip (but feel free to use the creature as a hair grip and to give the flower googly eyes!)
Kit Includes:
*Full colour 16 page booklet with 20 photos and full explanation giving you all the techniques you need to get started. Patterns for both a cute creature and a flower are also included.
*2 balls of DK yarn,
*4mm Crochet hook,
*Sewing needle,
*Hair Grip,
*20g Stuffing,
*Scissors,
*Self-adhesive Googly eyes,
*A fabric project bag,
*4 limited edition Stitch London crochet badges: ‘Voulez vous crochet avec moi?’ ‘Happy Hooker’ ‘Will crochet for cake’ ‘Will crochet for booze’.
