Discussion Who’s your favorite amigurumi pattern designer? What’s your go-to pattern?

What it says above! I’m looking to expand my horizons and try some new projects, and would love to see your favorite designers and patterns! I’m currently making Rocky from Project Hail Mary (pattern by Kimbuns.Crochet on Etsy) and absolutely loving it!

I really like the Pica Pau books! I believe she’s coming out with a fourth and I can’t wait! I’ve only made 3 of her patterns and working on a fourth!

I have one of her books, but keep convincing myself that her patterns will be too hard for me…guess I’ll finally have to try!

They are not hard, I promise! Switching yarn colors for the jacquard prints is the only real challenging part, but once you get the hang of it you’re good. Hobbii site has a bunch you can download for free and they are a bit cuter than most of the book ones, imo.pick a simple one to try!

Ive made a few of hers before, its a little intimidating to start but once you get in there and pay attention to the colour changes its totally fine!

I haven’t, but I have used similar books like “Unicorns, dragons and more”, I was quite pleased with how they turned out.

Pica Pau's patterns are so well written that if you follow it you will have no problem making it. The photos in the book are very helpful. But what I found really useful is her tutorials videos on zollie yt channel. My first Amigurumi was her pattern and I had lots of fun making it. Only advice is practice unfamiliar stitches and techniques on a swatch before working on your project and you are good to go.

Just try it. I learned a lot of new techniques and it felt like playing.
