Want to know what happens when you combine simple materials, a crochet hook, and tons of imagination? Join Nati Dorado, better known as Virreinata, and find out! She specializes in the technique of crocheting 2D amigurumis, a two-dimensional, flat variation of the traditional Japanese amigurumi, using a chain stitch at the base rather than a magic ring.
In this course, learn the technique for creating 2D amigurumis with charming personalities. Discover your teacher's creative process, including color selection, the considerations involved in the first sketch, and transferring your design to a guide diagram. Try your hand at various types of stitches to assemble the different pieces, fill the doll, and add the finishing touches to your creation.
Description
Nati Dorado, or Virreinata, starts the course by talking you through her professional career to date, her main influences from before she devised the 2D amigurumi concept, and some that continue to inspire her work today.
Next, have a look at a comparison between your teacher's technique and the traditional Japanese one, as well as the materials needed for your final project. Discover the creative process and how to transform the initial design into a diagram that serves as your stitching guide.
Now it's time to make your doll! Learn how to do the base chain stitch and shape out the body and legs using basic stitches. Work through assembling the various parts and filling your amigurumi, then sew on beads for the eyes.
Add an extra helping of personality by embroidering some fun details. Virreinata shows you the technique she uses to give a unique twist to each of her creations by repeating and combining just two movements. To round out the course, she gives you some ideas on different uses for your amigurumis as well as tips for looking after them.
