Getting Started with Patterns by Patsy
My patterns are approachable for beginners who have a grasp of basic stitches and techniques. All patterns are written in plain, easy-to-follow language and include step-by-step instructions, clear photos, and video tutorials where they’re most helpful. Even if you’ve never made amigurumi before, you’ll feel confident as you follow along.

When I find a cute amigurumi pattern, I want to get started right away! So my patterns only use yarn, fiberfill stuffing, and a crochet hook. That’s it!
I design my patterns so you don’t need safety eyes or other extras, meaning you can start right away with what you have on hand.
I have found these additional tools to really be helpful, but they are not required.
Each pattern is laid out to make your crochet process as smooth as possible. Key steps include photos and video tutorials to guide you if the written instructions alone aren’t enough, helping you make the right stitches at the right time.

Excessive sewing and tricky assembly can be one of the most frustrating parts of crochet, especially when you’re trying to get pieces to line up just right. Low-sew patterns remove that stress, letting you see your project come together naturally as you work.
Because there’s less fiddly sewing, you can actually see progress as you work pieces together, which keeps motivation high and makes finishing your amigurumi feel more achievable, even when time is limited. That sense of accomplishment and the joy of holding a polished, gift-ready creation is part of what makes crochet so rewarding.
