Crochet -along | My Little Buttercup Cow (14 June 2025) | The Summerhouse
Cultural Experiences
We’re crocheting . . .
Buttercup!
Buttercup isn't much bigger than a buttercup so a lovely intro to the skills, tradition and techniques you need for Amigurumi. There's lots packed into something so small but all essential if you are interested in this type of crochet. Small scale is always a little fiddly so I try to keep everything as simple as possible stitch-wise and do as much sew-as-you-go as possible. It may also help to know there's just 1 magic ring, yes - just 1!
You can make a smaller or bigger version of Buttercup depending on how comfortable you are with small hooks (see What you'll need to bring)
This crochet-along is suitable for . . .
Adventurous beginners (very much still learning, but confident to try something a little harder)
