About

This class is for those who have a basic knowledge of crochet but have not done crochet amigurumi before.

• You will start by learning how to increase and decrease with single crochet to shape the fabric. You will also learn how to change colors and review how to start and fasten off (finish).
• You will then start the project, working during the first session to create the body of the bird. In the second session you will stuff and close the body, then make the nose, tail, wings, and feet for you to attach to the body.
