A course by Príncipe del Crochet
Marcelo Javier Cortés, better known as Príncipe del Crochet on social media, is a crocheter and amigurumi designer. He started his career as a philosophy and Spanish teacher, but as of 2019, he's been fully devoted to crochet and managing his social media accounts.
A true artist at heart, he's deeply passionate about reading, writing, and crochet, combining all three in his work: he creates characters inspired by his poems and vice versa. As an expert in amigurumi design with an insatiable curiosity, he's constantly searching for new ways to customize his creations and give them an original and distinctive look.

Me gusto mucho el curso
I loved this course and had no problem listening to it in spanish (with english subtitles). marcelo is a terrific teacher and is very thorough. I have tried crochet and amigurumi before and for the first time I was able to make a magic loop with no problem! he broke down all the instruction into simple steps and it made so much sense. I really appreciated the explanation of the design process and basic shapes. the ability to build on these techniques is endless. thank you, thank you!
Este es el segundo curso que compro de Marcelo y siempre quedo muy satisfecha con la calidad y detalle que pone en ellos. Soy su gran admiradora! He adquirido sus patrones y su trabajo es impresionante. Por eso espero que con sus cursos algún día no muy lejano pueda diseñar yo misma mis propios patrones.
sono molto soddisfatta del corso, oltre alla preparazione tecnica che acquisisci c’è tanta poesia. Il progetto finale contiene tutte le informazioni per chi approccia al mondo degli aminigurumi. In luce c’è la possibilità di arrivare ad un buon livello e la carica per poter affrontare nuovi progetti “originali” acquisita la giusta condapevolezza di questa lavorazione unica. grazie
He hecho muchos amigurumis, siguiendo diversos patrones, pero con este curso he entendido un poco más sobre su construcción, y lo más importante cómo puedo modificarlos sin tanta complicación.
