Amigurumi Do’s & Don’ts Hi everyone! I’m Julia, the designer over at Little World of Whimsy. I spend most of my free time crocheting amigurumi, after beginning my journey over a year ago, so I’m here to share some of my do’s and don’ts for amigurumi beginners! Let’s start with some of the do’s: Do use stitch markers! Although stitch markers are always important when crocheting, they are paramount in amigurumi. This is mainly because amigurumi are always crocheted in continuous, spiral rounds, which are absolutely impossible to keep track…

But this year I worked really hard to do some fall sewing in September! My plan was to make a full size quilt… but lets be honest here.

Panda Crochet Pattern
Say hello to ‘Chief’. He’s the coolest bamboo-eating panda around! I have always liked pandas and I guess it started when I was little.

When thinking of making this…
