I’ve been crocheting now for a year and a half and watch your channel. Wanted to learn Amigurumi so I find your tutorials and methods very helpful. Thank you for this pattern, it will be my very first Amigurumi I’ve ever made. Thank you Elise for sharing your knowledge and being such an inspiration to me and others as well, I’m sure.
I already knot how to crochet amigurumis. However i find these example as effective as possible, it has it all: magic circle, increments, decrements, color changes, safety eyes, attachment of pieces, embroidery of detalis. It really has every important element and I appreciate that for newcomers. Hope more people get to see these amazing work
Thank you so very much! I really appreciate your kind words. I tried to create a toy that had all the elements someone would need to learn to be able to crochet more difficult amigurumi patterns. I'm so glad you like them. 💓🍄💓🍄
I love the word 'Catster"!!! Years ago when my sons were toddlers, I bought them some little animal toys and one of them looked like either like a cat or a bear, so we called it a "Meow-Growl"! I will have to make the "Catster" in honor of uniting two very cute animals! Thank you for your videos! I learned how to make Amigurumi from watching your videos!
You are a miracle worker! I have tried learning crochet so many times, I love amigurumi, but I've never been able to do even the basics. You are so encouraging and clear in the instructions - thank you!
Thank you so much! This was my first amagarumi as a beginner crocheter (I had only done a few granny squares and swatches prior) It was really fun and easy to do and only took me probably 5 hours (or a day) to complete (may seem like a lot to advanced crocheters but it was fast for me). It was such an easy to follow tutorial that my end plushie looks almost exactly like the picture/example!! I gave it to my boyfriend and he loves it ❤
I've been loving these videos, thanks so much for your content! Just wanted to leave a quick tip to make the invisible decrease a little easier: to pick up the second loop more easily, put your hook just under the stich, and spin your hook (toward yourself). It will spin right under that stitch and onto your hook!
Well, you’ve inspired me to do something i never thought i’d be interested in - crocheting amigurumi! I want fun projects to use my “surplus” yarns, and these are so adorable! Im going to start tonight. Thank you for this tutorial. If all goes well, i will want to purchase your patterns. Your instructions are excellent! ❤❤😊
This is JUST what I needed when I first started haha. I was looking for a pattern with a video and written pattern. Turns out the video and written pattern were different patterns! One learning experience I’ll tell ya what! I hope this video reaches more beginners
Such a great tutorial! Love how you included so many techniques and tips with such a simple pattern! The pattern line being on screen while you stitched and talked about it - so helpful! I’m in the UK so it’s nice to see how the patterns in US terms are written 😊 Also, I SO appreciate that you showed techniques for finishing like adding ears and embroidery!!! I’m struggling embroidering eyes and a nose on my first crocheted bunny. I’d love to watch a video just about different embroidery techniques on different kinds of toy faces, on knit or crochet or both. Different shaped eyes, different sizes of eyes and mouth. Once again, a totally captivating and helpful video! Watching you stitch is mesmerizing, it flows like water! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I had so much fun making my first amigurumi with this video. My dog has been sick and just had surgery and focusing only this has helped get me through this. Thank you! I love these videos and the sense of comfort you exude!
Dear Elise, WOW, this is the first video I have watched of yours that was an instructional video. You absolutely do a great job describing how to do it and showing it on the camera and keeping things in camera which is very important for visual learners. Keep up the super duper great work you're doing. Kind regards Deb 😇
I have completely restarted like 5x and couldn’t make it pass round 4. In addition I’ve ripped out and redone round countless times. It’s been 2 days of this. I finally got to round 4 without ripping😭😭 praise god. Practice makes perfect. ! After this I plan on stitching your free bunny pattern. Hopefully I’ve worked out the kinks before purchasing your big bad wolf pattern! Btw I’m using sugar & cream yarn for this project. It’s 100% cotton medium worsted. Hopefully i make a good choice in yarn. 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I haven’t crocheted or knitted in 7 years and only done bulky blankets and knitted a beanie. I fell right in to this due to your channel ! Im obsessed! I love the vintage look of the old toys. I want to have a collection of of toys that fit a vintage ascetic
Oh my heart goes out to you!! I know the frustration when things just aren't going like you hoped they would!! 💕 But I'm impressed with your perseverance!! I promise you'll get there!! I haven't ever tried that yarn before so unfortunately I don't have any information about it. I will say sometimes struggles with amigurumi have to do with the yarn and/or hook. I would Google the yarn and see if others have opinions about it for crocheting toys. Good luck to you!!! 🙌
I just started amigurumi. I am so grateful I found your videos! I have been struggling with my faces. Your videos have been very helpful. I was making knots in my embroidery to keep it from falling and it would ruin the smooth look. I can't wait to try the techniques I have learned from watching your videos on my current project. Hopefully, I will be happier with how this one turns out!
You are an amazing teacher Elise! Thank you for all the tips and tricks and for all the zooming in with the camera, that REALLY helps a newbie like me! 🥰
I made a cute little Bubble the Catster! I even added a rattle, as Dawn suggested! I've learned so much from watching your tutorial, Elise, I've changed some things that I made different and it's so much better! Thank you so much :)
Hello ma'am I love your channel. Please continue to make such videos I started Amigurumi by seeing your videos. Thank you so much for inspiring me to make amigurumi. Thank you so much ma'am.
I am loving all of your tutorials. I also knit and crochet, but I also tat. I started to crochet at the beginning of strawberry shortcake in the 80s. I did a whole bunch of clothes for her basically just in thread. I’ve also done doilies I can’t believe how big the yarn has gotten.
I take a notebook and mark down one mark for each row in lots of 5 and put number above it. It helps to keep track of what row I am on. And in knitting I put arrow head at to of mark for increase and at the bottom for a decrease so I can match from to back or repeat both fronts for open garments. This may help others
I made bubble the catster. I wrote down everything you said and did. You really made it fun and clear. My first but not the last. Working on Bitti Bunny but making it two toned and turn it into dog. You make it fun
I also started crocheting amigurumis with your videos! I remember searching "what is amigurumi" on youtube and found your videos... This type of video is very helpful even if you already knows how to do it, and this pattern is soo adorable!! * I received the email but I didn't find the free pattern...
Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is my 3rd project (after two hats) and its been such a fun project to learn on. I love the different techniques to learn and having the pattern ready to print off and learn to read as I go. So excited to finish it.
Excellent video! I really appreciate the time and details given. These little critters are too cute and I am going to start one soon. My biggest challenge is stuffing properly! Stuffing is so challenging. 😊
Thank you for this lovely, informative video! You are a very good teacher and the filming is perfect! We'll look forward to more from you, Elise! Caryl
I knowtnisis old but I just got my first one almost done except for the ears which I 'll do next. There's a lot of small mistakes in it but I'm so proud of it and myself for seeing it through. Can't tell you how many times I wanted to just give up but I didn't. I got 2 teenage nieces that I want to make Catsters for but this one is proudly mine! You are a wonderful instructor.! Now on to your Bitty Bunny! Thanks
Thank you so much for this pattern! I started a crochet business at my school and this is one of the things i make! I love it so much and my customers too! 💗👍
Great video!.. I wish I had seen this about 4 amigurumi ago. 😜 I picked up a lot of the ips you gave with practice but it's great to know my crochet instincts worked as well. Thanks for sharing and for the tips on adding appendages. Very helpful. 💝💝
I love your teaching technique. I followed your tutorial step by step and my Catster is about 50% larger than yours. I thought it might be the stitch tightness but if I crocheted any tighter I couldn't get my hook in the next round. I may have over stuffed it.. I was paying attention to "stuff it and stuff it some more". My stitches actually spread out and made gaps! I'll try again.
This was an awesome tutorial at the perfect time as I m trying to make my first cat ears for my first amigurumi. This also was the best video for the magic ring. Thank you😊
Warm greetings from Indonesia. Your tutorial is really helpful & amazing for a beginner in amigurumi. Looking forward for another easy amigurumi project from your channel. Thanks a lot ❤
Well after watching this video and several of your other videos I decided to give Amigurumi a try...my catster turned out way bigger than yours and every one of my stitches was exact. Anyway, Thank You for showing me how easy it is. Your directions were very easy to follow along. ❤
I used this to make the giant ball in the book circus amigurumi. Very helpful with the decreases, I couldn’t find the last decrease to save my soul, it’s sure invisible. Lol thank you for your insight and encouragement to try other things.😊💐
Just finishing a little princess doll and your tips and techniques are going to come in handy. It is one where the body is attached to a little square blanket instead of legs. I am looking for help getting heads on straight - how to secure them when pins don’t work, how far out from the closing circle to attach etc. - if anyone has recommendations (I didn’t see it in your library). Some people are natural teachers - you are definitely one!
It sounds like you're working on what I call a "lovey". Have you check the channel @oldsoulcrochetco? Valerie has quite a few lovey tutorials if I'm remembering correctly! Good luck! 💓
I really like the video tutorial I would suggest though knotting your embroider thread ends together before cutting the off. little fingers can pull the threads loose and out. I would also do the same with the ears. I love how clean your stitches look. Thank you for the tutorial. Hope you have a great day. :)
This is so helpful to understand the art of amigurumi. I know how to knit but in toys i think crochet has more spectrums in patterns. So i will definatelly learn how to crochet in order to make these beautiful hamsters.
Love Love this video Elise!! Over the last couple of weeks I’ve started watching your videos, because I just found you! You are so talented and explain all the steps so well! I’m hooked now! I don’t knit but crochet so I hope you have lots of patterns or recommendations of others to make. I need to get the appropriate weight yarn so I can make Bubble the Catster! Thanks for sharing your talents!!🥰
Awww! Thank you so much! You can also use any weight yarn you have with an appropriate hook size if you have a large stash of yarn already! Happy Stitching! 💗
It might be fun to use two different sized eyes to go for a goofy look. I think I’ll be making one to hang from my daughter’s backpack. Cute idea and great comprehensive tutorial.
I am trying my first amigurumi from a book/kit and I really struggled with the floss. In the end i just ripped it out and used regular yarn to make the mouth.
Thank you Elise. Very useful video. Can you also do similar videos for arms, legs, and body? Your instructions are so clear. I love them. With good wishes from India.
Cute project! I would have made a wrapped knot in the ears and pulled through to secure them in case a little one liked the ears a little too much and same with the mouth/nose.
You can also make him little feet: with the white yarn start like the body until you have 12 stitches around (what you called round 1) and than do 4 simple rounds just one single crochet in each stitch around and finish off. Stuff and sew to the white half of the body in a square pattern with equal distances to the finishing-point of the body.
Hi Elise! I will make this “Catster” my very first amurgurami. Questions: 1) Exactly what Brand and type of yarn did you use. 2) in the embroidery step, how does the stitch stay permanent without pulling through later, since you aren’t knotting it at the end. Thanks.❤️
Hi! I'm a new subscriber and i want to learn different crochet... I found your channel while searching and i am really amaze by your tutorial... And i also subscribe for your free pattern... T.y.
Hallo,thank u for the great work Can u please make a lesson for us on how to crochet amigurumis cars,I came across these nice images of crochet cars but I cnt find any lesson about them on u tube
My very first amigurumi!! I used #4 acrylic yarn from Joann’s. I used 3.5 hook. It came out huge 😂. I stuffed it and now the stuffing is peeping out thru the stitches. Should I use heavier yarn or should I use a smaller hook? Thanks for all you do Elise!! Look forward to your videos every week.
Hi there! Looks like I'm 3 years late to the party. I dream of having shelves full of Pica Pau amigurumi animals like yours. However, I have tried everything and I am struggling. I just finished my 4th try at the catster. I think I finally have the combination that works for me. I am using 4W yarn and a 3.5 hook. After trying everything else, including going up in number on my reading glasses. So, my catster is roughly the size of a large grapefruit. Will that combination work for other projects? Is my dream of goats wearing sweaters and alligators wearing party hats just that......? a dream.....? Thanks for your help! The tutorial is great!
That's great!! Size really doesn't matter when it comes to amigurumi! Use whatever combination of yarn and hook size that work for you! My Bubbles are the size of a large orange so not that different! You'll get there!!! 👏👏👏
Hi Elise, thank you so much for this free pattern, it's honestly one of my favourites!! I was wondering something though, is it alright if I were to sell these cats and of course, give you credit for this adorable pattern?
I'm so glad you enjoyed making it!! Yes, as long as the toy is handmade and limited quantity (meaning you didn't set up a sweatshop and have 10 people making them 😅) Happy Stitching! 🧶🧶🧶
I'm so sorry! I've been having problems with this one. Please email me at elise@eliserosecrochet.com and I'll send it over! I'm out of town right now but I'll get it to you! ❤️
I am so happy to see a video/written pattern combo. However, I am confused on the 2nd row "increase". This looks to me as the same stitch all the way around. Please explain
Round 2: [1 sc, inc] 6 times (18). You're making one single crochet, then increasing (which is doing two single crochets in one stitch). At the end of the round you should have 18 stitches. Hope that helps! ☺
I just ordered my hooks and yarn. Yay me! When I click through to get the pattern, it brings me to "purchase the bundle" I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, where is the pattern for just this one beginner bubble? Many thanks, love your videos
Hi thank you so much for this pattern! I love it! They are so cute! :) Also, I love the songs you added in your intro and outro, is it possible to know the names of them? I would love to be able to hear them nonstop while crocheting hahah.
Those songs are from the RUclips studio audio library. The first one is called "Bongo Madness" and the last one is "Morning Stroll". So glad you liked them. 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet The songs are so funny. Thank you so much! Also, thank you as well for all the effort you put on your videos, I love all of your work! You are so very talented. Keep it up! :)
Hello from Yorkshire in England lovely lady 🌼 Is it a cat? Is it a hamster? No it’s a Catster! Well I never, how adorable but will there be more hamster hybrids in the range? You are always a delight, take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🧵🌸
I've been crocheting since 1978, and I learned new techniques AND understanding of the stitches I love so much. THANK YOU.

Awww! Thank you so much! You can also use any weight yarn you have with an appropriate hook size if you have a large stash of yarn already! Happy Stitching! 💗
It might be fun to use two different sized eyes to go for a goofy look. I think I’ll be making one to hang from my daughter’s backpack. Cute idea and great comprehensive tutorial.
And I love your little granny square backdrop. Too cute.
Lol! Love that idea!! And that could use up two safety eyes that have no match! 🍄
Thank you! I can't remember where I got that design or pattern from! Now I have no clue and sometimes people ask me where they can get it! Yikes! 😆
I am trying my first amigurumi from a book/kit and I really struggled with the floss. In the end i just ripped it out and used regular yarn to make the mouth.
Embroidering a mouth for amigurumi is really hard! That's why you'll see a lot of them without it! ❤️
When you have a ball, so it does not roll around, put it in your favorite brown with a large binder clip. Works like the expensive bowl
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! 🧶🧶🧶
I need to make cute toys for my grandkids and other babies in my life!
That's wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶
Aww, these are so adorable. I'm not a beginner but I sure can't wait to make these lil guys
Awww! I'm so glad! Thank you!! 💓💓💓
Thank you for the tutorial it helped me so much. You have a new subscriber can’t wait to see what else I can learn from you.
Wonderful! 🧶🧶🧶
I love watching your amigurumi videos. They are so informative and I have learned a lot.
I'm so glad you like them! 🍄💓🍄💓
Thank you Elise. Very useful video. Can you also do similar videos for arms, legs, and body? Your instructions are so clear. I love them. With good wishes from India.
Thank you! Yes!! I have other video tutorials for amigurumi! ❤️
Very very great tutorial! Thank you for teaching how to make a catster🐹🐱
You're so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it! 💖💖💖
👌 I will definitely try this, I need to learn how to read the patterns 🙂
You can do it! 🙌
Hey, just found you! I live in NC too. Looking forward to binge watching your videos.
Awww! Thank you so much!! 🧶🧶🧶
I use the handle of my hook ,to help with the stuffing!
Great idea! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for this video! I can’t post a picture, but mine turned out looking like a curvy hat. I guess I need to learn to count. Haha
So CUTE! Crystal clear instructions. Thank you for sharing. 😺
You're so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! 💕
wow thank you for this video!! so exciting!! i just made my first one ^___^ it's inspirational!! but my eyes n fingers are slightly crossed now lol
Lol!! I'm so glad you enjoyed making your own Bubble!! 💗💗💗
Cute project! I would have made a wrapped knot in the ears and pulled through to secure them in case a little one liked the ears a little too much and same with the mouth/nose.
Great suggestions! Thanks so much for sharing! 💖💖💖
I've been crocheting for decades and this was the first time I saw how to make an INVISIBLE decrease!!
You can also make him little feet:
with the white yarn start like the body until you have 12 stitches around (what you called round 1) and than do 4 simple rounds just one single crochet in each stitch around and finish off.
Stuff and sew to the white half of the body in a square pattern with equal distances to the finishing-point of the body.
Great idea!! 💖💖💖
A tail is a must
Very nice tutorial, enjoy your videos and seeing, especially your finished projects. Thank you for sharing!😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💖💙
Hi Elise! I will make this “Catster” my very first amurgurami.
Questions:
1) Exactly what Brand and type of yarn did you use.
2) in the embroidery step, how does the stitch stay permanent without pulling through later, since you aren’t knotting it at the end. Thanks.❤️
I love this video since I'm a newbie, still I'm stuck with the magic ring lol
I'm so glad! Here's a video I did all about the magic ring: ruclips.net/video/_kNmfwrxJ2g/видео.html Hope it helps!! ❤️❤️❤️

Cats have pointed ears .
You should add a picot in the middle .
Cute idea! 🐱
Hallo,thank u for the great work
Can u please make a lesson for us on how to crochet amigurumis cars,I came across these nice images of crochet cars but I cnt find any lesson about them on u tube
My very first amigurumi!! I used #4 acrylic yarn from Joann’s. I used 3.5 hook. It came out huge 😂. I stuffed it and now the stuffing is peeping out thru the stitches. Should I use heavier yarn or should I use a smaller hook? Thanks for all you do Elise!! Look forward to your videos every week.
I typically like to go down in hook size until I can no longer see the stuffing! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi there! Looks like I'm 3 years late to the party. I dream of having shelves full of Pica Pau amigurumi animals like yours. However, I have tried everything and I am struggling. I just finished my 4th try at the catster. I think I finally have the combination that works for me. I am using 4W yarn and a 3.5 hook. After trying everything else, including going up in number on my reading glasses. So, my catster is roughly the size of a large grapefruit. Will that combination work for other projects? Is my dream of goats wearing sweaters and alligators wearing party hats just that......? a dream.....? Thanks for your help! The tutorial is great!
That's great!! Size really doesn't matter when it comes to amigurumi! Use whatever combination of yarn and hook size that work for you! My Bubbles are the size of a large orange so not that different! You'll get there!!! 👏👏👏
Hi Elise, thank you so much for this free pattern, it's honestly one of my favourites!! I was wondering something though, is it alright if I were to sell these cats and of course, give you credit for this adorable pattern?
I'm so glad you enjoyed making it!! Yes, as long as the toy is handmade and limited quantity (meaning you didn't set up a sweatshop and have 10 people making them 😅) Happy Stitching! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet thank you very much!! i'll keep those rules in mind hahaha, have a great day ahead 😊
Thank you! You are amazing!
Thank you so much! ❤
Very good advice thank you very much ❤🤗🌹
You are so welcome! 💙
please could you do a video on invisible colour changes?
Thanks for the suggestion! 🧶🧶🧶
I love the granny square piece you had as background. Do you have a pattern for that?
I'm so sorry! That is one pattern I cannot remember! 🩷🩷🩷
Why cant i understand how to get the pattern 😂 I’ve searched your website, I subscribed, I’ve got the mail 🤪🤪
I'm so sorry! I've been having problems with this one. Please email me at elise@eliserosecrochet.com and I'll send it over! I'm out of town right now but I'll get it to you! ❤️
I am so happy to see a video/written pattern combo. However, I am confused on the 2nd row "increase". This looks to me as the same stitch all the way around. Please explain
Round 2: [1 sc, inc] 6 times (18). You're making one single crochet, then increasing (which is doing two single crochets in one stitch). At the end of the round you should have 18 stitches. Hope that helps! ☺
So excited thank you
You're so welcome! 💗💗💗
I just ordered my hooks and yarn. Yay me! When I click through to get the pattern, it brings me to "purchase the bundle" I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, where is the pattern for just this one beginner bubble? Many thanks, love your videos
Hmmm, not sure what's going on. Please email me at elise@eliserosecrochet.com and I'll send over the pattern! 🧶🧶🧶
I made my first one! I'm super happy how well it turned out. Everyone loves it. Is there a way I can send you a picture?
Wonderful! You can email me at elise@eliserosecrochet.com 💌
Hi thank you so much for this pattern! I love it! They are so cute! :) Also, I love the songs you added in your intro and outro, is it possible to know the names of them? I would love to be able to hear them nonstop while crocheting hahah.
Those songs are from the RUclips studio audio library. The first one is called "Bongo Madness" and the last one is "Morning Stroll". So glad you liked them. 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet The songs are so funny. Thank you so much! Also, thank you as well for all the effort you put on your videos, I love all of your work! You are so very talented. Keep it up! :)
@@AromaticWheat0 awww! Thank you so very much!!
Thank you
Thank you. I learned so much!
You're so welcome! 💗
Hello from Yorkshire in England lovely lady 🌼 Is it a cat? Is it a hamster? No it’s a Catster! Well I never, how adorable but will there be more hamster hybrids in the range? You are always a delight, take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🧵🌸
Haha!! Thank you so much, Sarah-Jane! I'm so glad you like the Catsters! 💓💓💓
