Crochet Amigurumi Corn Tutorial
Crocheting this corn amigurumi is very easy whether you are a beginner or expert.
- Introduction to Fall Amigurumi: The creator starts with discussing the fall season, planning to crochet harvest-themed plushes, beginning with a piece of corn. You can follow her for more on her channel.
- Creating the Corn's Body: The tutorial begins with tying a magic loop, followed by adding 6 single crochet stitches.
- Incremental Stitching: Several rounds involve increasing the number of stitches to shape the corn, switching between single crochets and increases.
- Magic Loop and Marking Stitches: A technique to tighten the loop and accurately mark stitches during crochet is introduced, making it easier to track progress.
Starting the Decrease: As the body nears completion, the stitches are decreased, creating a tapered end for the corn. - Adding the Face Details: The corn’s face is given character by adding safety eyes between 10 and 11 rounds and embroidering a cute smile using black embroidery floss.
- Attaching Leaves: The leaves are crocheted separately in a light green yarn and attached to the corn, forming a triangular arrangement. Each leaf is connected by chaining 3 stitches, creating a sturdy base for the triangular arrangement of leaves. The tutorial ends with tips on adding Rosy Cheeks using blush for a playful finish
What does the video say about how to handle the tail end of the magic loop?
In the crochet corn amigurumi video, after creating the magic loop and completing the first round of stitches, the tail of the loop is pulled tightly to close the loop entirely. This action ensures that the center of the work is snug and secure. The creator suggests cutting the tail short, but not completely off, so that it remains inside the piece.
This technique provides a clean, tight finish at the center of the amigurumi piece.
