100 Micro Amigurumi: Crochet Patterns and Charts for Tiny Amigurumi

by

Steffi Glaves’s “100 Micro Amigurumi” is a delightful journey into the world of miniature crochet, offering an extensive collection of patterns and charts for creating adorable tiny amigurumi. As someone who loves working with amigurumi but has always been intrigued by the idea of crafting on a smaller scale, I found this book to be both inspiring and informative.

One of the most appealing aspects of this book is its wide range of themes, with chapters dedicated to everything from cute creatures to fruits and vegetables, sealife, space, fairy woodland, and more. Each chapter features ten unique patterns, providing ample variety and ensuring there’s something to suit every taste and interest.

What sets this book apart is its focus on micro amigurumi, with some projects as small as a thumbnail or no bigger than your thumb. Despite their tiny size, these creations are bursting with charm and personality, making them perfect for a variety of uses, from charms and jewelry to keyrings and dollhouse decorations.

Glaves provides detailed instructions for working at such a small scale, including tips on holding the thread and hook, embroidering faces and expressions, and adding hair. Additionally, there is helpful advice on reducing and increasing stitches, changing colors mid-row, and crocheting in rounds.

I particularly appreciated the inclusion of charts for flat pattern sections and step-by-step photography and artworks for special techniques and stitches. This added visual guidance makes it easier for crafters to follow along and achieve beautiful results.

Overall, “100 Micro Amigurumi” is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in exploring the world of miniature crochet. Whether you’re a seasoned amigurumi enthusiast looking to try something new or a beginner eager to dive into the world of tiny crochet, this book is sure to spark your creativity and provide hours of crafting enjoyment. Highly recommended!

Colorful Maker Hat Crochet Pattern Review

If you are in the mood for a quick crochet hat with a lot of personality, the Colorful Maker Hat from Lion Brand is a fun one to look at. It is described as a cozy statement piece with a bold colourful design, and Lion Brand says it is suitable for makers of all abilities thanks to the easy-to-follow pattern and included colour chart.

This pattern is rated Level 2 Easy (Beginner+), so it feels like a nice choice for confident beginners who are ready to try simple colour changes without diving into anything too fussy. Lion Brand also notes that it is made with super bulky Hometown yarn, which means it should work up fast and give you that lovely chunky finish that always feels extra cozy in cooler weather.

I think that is probably the biggest selling point here. This looks like the kind of project you can actually finish in a short burst of crochet time, and we all know those are the projects that save us when the yarn basket is already overflowing with half-started “I’ll get back to it” plans. Lion Brand says the hat can be finished in just a few hours, which makes it a nice option for gift-making too.

The finished hat measures about 20 inches in circumference and 12 inches high, so it looks like a comfortable, slouchy winter accessory rather than a tiny fitted beanie. The gauge is listed as 7 single crochet and 9 rows over 4 inches, which also gives you a good idea of how quickly this chunky yarn project should move along.

What I like most is that it feels cheerful without being overcomplicated. The colourwork gives it that handmade “look what I made” energy, but the pattern still sounds approachable. If you love easy crochet accessories with a bold finish, this one feels like a good pick. Lion Brand even suggests pairing it with the Maker Legwarmers if you want a matching set.

My overall take? This is a cute, practical pattern for anyone who enjoys easy crochet hat patterns, quick super bulky crochet projects, or colourful accessories that stand out a bit from the usual winter basics. It looks beginner-friendly, fast, and fun, which is a pretty nice combination in my book. That last bit is my opinion based on the pattern details provided by Lion Brand.
