This is a super info-dense guide for beginners that will have you crocheting your first amigurumi in no time! I followed the guide as a beginner and found it to be really helpful. The patterns included are great for getting the hang of the techniques learned with the guide - not to mention, the guide itself and the patterns are SO CUTE!
I have for a long time desired to learn how to crochet amigurumis, but I felt unsure about where to start. Garnknuten's guide for beginners proved to be an invaluable resource for me. It provided all the necessary information in a comprehensive manner, and its easy-to-read and inspiring layout truly enhanced my learning experience. Overall, it was the perfect guide for someone like me, eager to embark on this creative journey.
Veronica kindly allowed me to preview her guide... and my brain was screaming 'wow' by the time I reached the contents page! The guide literally includes everything I might want or need to know in order to get started making beautiful amigurumi. Thank you :)
Let customers speak for us
from 302 reviewsThe moment I saw the pattern I was obsessed. It was a great pattern to follow. The instructions were clear and simple. And I am so happy with the finished product. I just want to make an army of them.
This is such a cute pattern. It is easy to follow the pattern with thorough desciptions, lots of pictures and a colour graph along the way.
Alice the fox was so much fun to make from start to finish and the finished product turned out so good!
This patterin is easy to follow and has lot of tips for techniques used. I also find it super nice when there is lot of photos to guide you throught assembling. My fox turned out super cute!
I’ve really enjoyed crocheting my first amigurumi’s with these patterns and the yarns I’ve bought from the shop 🤩
Love this pattern so much! The design is so brilliant. I want to make one for all my friends!!!
He is great to make when you want crochet something cute but don’t want to extra focus on ☺️
as in the title - so far we had amazing times inside the club! Fun movie nights, crochet and chats together and of course… CALs ☺️ now on the start you get all patterns that are exclusive for HAC Members. Don’t hesitate to join us 😄
The Happy Amigurumi Club is a lovely and cosy community.
I really love the positive and encouraging atmosphere in the facebook group and on discord.
I adored making Luna, the pattern was clear and a joy to work up! Mine turned out larger due to yarn weight I used, but I love her!

By now I have lost count of how many CALs I have made with Garnknuten. But they are so much fun and the characters are so cute. And Tom the Tiger is no exception. Love him! The little scarf was also the icing on the cake :D

Vid det här laget har jag tappat räkningen på hur många CALs jag har gjort med Garnknuten. Men de är så roliga och figurerna blir så himla söta. Och Tigern Tom är inget undantag. Älskar honom! Den lilla scarfen blev också pricken över i:t :D
The cutest pattern ever 😍
As with the previous pattern from Garnknuten, this one is also great! Clear instructions for a great results!
Easy pattern to follow and lovely result :) 10/10 Recommend
I saw this cute pattern last fall but didn’t get around to making it. When fall rolled around this year, I put it at the top of my list. I watched the videos from the October 2021 CAL, but purchased the written pattern since I decided to make multiples. The pattern is clear and easy to follow. It was also easy to alter to make slightly smaller bats. I recommend her patterns…they are so cute!

I made Leopold as a gift for a 1 year old. He was perfect! Super cute and quick to make. Few parts to sew, which I, not being one for sewing, appreciated. As usual, great instructions and easy to follow the pattern.

Gjorde Leopold som en present till en 1-åring. Han var perfekt! Supersöt och snabbgjord. Rätt lite som ska sys, vilket jag som inte gillar att sy uppskattade. Som vanligt bra instruktioner och enkelt att följa med i mönstret.
