AMIGURUMI
Wednesday 12th August
1pm-3pm
€30
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures & this workshop will start to show you how it's done.
Before you arrive you must be able to do the double crochet stitch (UK terminology, dc. US terminology single crochet sc) and chain stitch fairly confidently.
By the end of this 2 hour workshop you will have created a wonderful little owl to take home with you, learning the techniques needed to continue with your next Amigurumi creature.
You will need to bring a size 3mm (US 2 / C) or 3.5mm (US 4 /E) hook & double knitting weight yarn or size 4mm (US 6 /G) or 4.5mm (US 7 / I) hook and Aran weight yarn in the main colour(s) for your owl, plus a little yarn in black and white for the eyes and a small amount in required colour for the beak (orange or yellow suggested, but it depends on your main colour) and toy stuffing of your choice, although you will be able to purchase all the materials and equipment required at the workshop. The size of crochet hook depends on your normal tension, the looser you crochet the smaller the hook required.
If you do not have these sizes there will be the chance to buy them at the workshop along with a small selection of Yarn.
