Have you ever looked at an amigurumi and wondered, “How would I even crochet that shape?” The secret is that many amigurumi are made by combining simple 3D shapes.
In this class, we’ll explore the building blocks behind amigurumi by learning how to crochet a variety of 3D shapes and how to change their size and proportions to suit your own ideas.
This class is the second part of my Amigurumi Basics mini-series. If you haven’t already, you can also check out Amigurumi Basics: Flat Shapes, where we explore the flat shapes that can be used as building blocks for amigurumi.
You’ll learn how to crochet:
- Balls and capsules

And how to crochet variations of all these shapes. We’ll also explore how we can use crochet 3D shapes on our amigurumi.
