She specializes in the technique of crocheting 2D amigurumis, a two-dimensional, flat variation of the traditional Japanese amigurumi, using a chain stitch at the base rather than a magic ring.
In this course, learn the technique for creating 2D amigurumis with charming personalities. Discover your teacher's creative process, including color selection, the considerations involved in the first sketch, and transferring your design to a guide diagram.

Un bellissimo corso esauriente per chi, come me, vuole trasformare le mie creazioni in amirugumi in 2D. Insegnante fantastica, ti spiega passo passo tutti gli step per poi creare i propri disegni in pattern in autonomia!
Me ha gustado mucho aprender nuevas técnicas y tips para tejer amigurumis. La explicación detallada de parte de la diseñadora lo hace más fácil de entender. Definitivamente un acierto este curso.
Exelente curso, la profesora muy clara en las explicaciones, me gusto', lo recomiendo para las que hacemos amigurumis, es otra dimension.
Simple y hermoso. Una muy buena idea para modificar mis tejidos.
Lo que llevo de curso va excelente. La maestra explica muy bien, es sumamente didáctica. Gracias por compartir este curso.
Saludos y abrazos para toda la comunidad del Crochet.
