Browse All PatternsWhat started as a quiet afternoon project quickly turned into an obsession. I crocheted my way through dozens of patterns, unravelled and restarted, experimented with yarn weights and hook sizes — and along the way I realised just how few genuinely helpful, jargon-free resources existed for English-speaking beginners.
AmigurumiGuide is my way of sharing everything I've learnt: honest product recommendations, step-by-step techniques, and the patterns I'm most proud of. Whether you're picking up a hook for the very first time or looking to level up your finishing skills, I hope you find something useful here.
I also design amigurumi PDF patterns — you can find them in my Etsy shop, AugenblickDruck. Every pattern is tested and written with clarity in mind, so you can focus on the fun part.
