There are so many talented video crocheters out there to learn from! I thought I'd post a few of my favourite videos for toy (particularly amigurumi) tutorials.
Some of the patterns I've tried myself, others are on my to-do list. Check out the videos below!
"Amigurumi Sailor Octopus" - YarnYard
I absolutely love YarnYard's patterns, and she offers quite a few free "crochet-along" videos as well! I made this cute little octopus earlier this year for a friend, and it came out just as pictured - such a great toy for kids to grab and carry around!
"Crochet Amigurumi HAIR Tutorial" - Allison Hoffman
I'm always looking for new ways to style my amigurumi dolls' hair, and this tutorial was really helpful when I was just starting to make my first female dolls. Plus BONUS Princess Leia hairstyling! I've bought patterns from CraftyIsCool before, and her dolls are terrific!
Crochet Little Bigfoot Pig - Sharon Ojala
These cuties are definitely on my to-do list! This is a true "crochet-along" video - quite long, but useful for all levels of crocheters (beginners can watch every step, and more advanced viewers can fast-forward as desired).
"Perfect Stripes for Amigurumi" - June Gilbank
Stripes and colour changes are always a pain for me when making toys - I'm a perfectionist, and I'm always worried about jogging. Luckily, this video offered two different methods for minimizing the appearance of jogging when changing colours! (There's also a left-handed video available).
"Crochet Baby Snow Dragon for 'Dummies'" - TheBusyBeeMom
Another one for the to-do list - I thought a dragon might go well with my Paperbag Princess doll (a princess has to have someone to outsmart, after all)! This dragon is adorable, and fairly straight-forward to make.
Do you like video tutorials for crochet, or do you prefer written ones? What are some of your favourite tutorials out there?
