Guides & Tutorials

This collection brings together crochet project walkthroughs and technique tutorials. Browse small amigurumi, accessories, decorative projects, and the star-stitch tutorial, then open a guide to check its materials and construction before you begin. These are different kinds of projects, so the skill level and time required vary.

For a first project, choose instructions using stitches you already know and practise unfamiliar techniques on a swatch. Check whether US or UK terminology is used, count stitches at the end of each row or round, and read assembly instructions before closing a stuffed piece or sewing components together. When a guide discusses another designer's pattern, use the credited original for its complete instructions and updates. Project imagery can provide inspiration, but the written measurements and a gauge swatch are better references for size and fit.
