Have you mastered some basic crochet stitches? Are you wishing to learn how to crochet amigurumi using plush yarn?
In this warm and welcoming crochet workshop for beginners, you will build on the foundations of your basic crochet stitches to create adorable plush items. As you bring these creations to life, you'll master some of the techniques required for amigurumi.
Although my workshops are geared towards learning how to crochet amigurumi, the techniques learnt can also be applied to other non-amigurumi projects.
What is covered in this workshop:
  • How to hold a crochet hook (right-handed) and the working yarn
  • US vs UK crochet terminology
  • Crochet stitches (US terminology): magic ring, slip stitch, single crochet, bobble stitch, invisible decrease
  • Yarn Over Yarn Over vs Yarn Under Yarn Over technique
Don’t fret if you're only comfortable with a few stitches and you consider yourself still fairly new to crochet. The supportive environment and easy-to-follow instructions will help you feel confident as you dive into this creative experience.
You will begin to craft your very own plush bee to take home and cherish.
If you have never crocheted before or if you are struggling with holding your hook and yarn, you will be required to take my Crochet for Beginners Using Plush Yarn workshop first.
Optional Add-On: Crochet Starter Toolkit - Includes a 5.5 mm hook, yarn needles, and stitch markers.
Perfect for those who want to continue their crochet journey at home.
What you'll get
  • One beverage and cake of choice will be included in the workshop
  • Step-by-step instruction guide
  • All materials to use during the workshop
  • A relaxing introduction to crochet amigurumi

Hi Friends! My name is Amy and I’m the business owner behind yubiicraft!
I taught myself how to crochet during school, but was strongly encouraged to book study instead. During Covid, with being a busy mum of two and working a 9-5 job, I rediscovered my creative outlet with colouring, cross stitch and crochet. Amigurumi came into the picture and I was hooked. Crocheting plushies allowed me to nurture both creativity and mindfulness whilst balancing a busy lifestyle.
I’ve always been passionate about knowledge sharing, where at work, I train and support new starters with patience and care.
In my workshops I hope to bring that same energy — creating a supportive space where anyone can learn crochet amigurumi at their own pace. You’ll not only learn techniques and tips, but also enjoy the slower pace and sense of achievement that comes with crafting something with yarn, hook and your own hands.
Whether you’re looking to try something new, nurture your creativity, or simply take a mindful pause in your week, I’d love to share this journey with you. Come join me, and let’s make something beautiful together that will bring you joy.
