Hi, I'm Mia — the maker behind How To Amigurumi. I've been crocheting for over a decade, and I design and personally test every pattern on this site, round by round, so the counts always add up and your finished piece turns out just right.

Patterns that actually work

There's nothing more frustrating than a pattern whose stitch counts don't add up halfway through a round. That's why I write every step out in full — no "continue as established," no skipped rounds — and I make each design at least once before it goes live, noting exactly where beginners tend to get stuck.

You'll find clear materials lists with yarn weights and hook sizes, finished measurements, gauge notes, and honest tips for substitutions. Whether you're making your very first amigurumi or your fiftieth blanket, my goal is simple: give you everything you need to finish with confidence.
