It’s time for the 10 days of Mini Spring Amigurumi mystery crochet-a-long! It’s no surprise that I love designing and crocheting mini things. And what a better way to enjoy one of my favorite seasons than with the cutest mini crochet-a-long!

This crochet-a-long will run from April 6th to the 17th where each day a brand new mini spring themed amigurumi will be released. With the exception of the weekend- we’ll be taking those two days off to allow everyone to catch up or join midway through.

These patterns will be released as FREE video tutorials that you can watch over on my YouTube Channel!

Each mini takes only about an hour to complete and use very minimal yarn which is great if you want a quick project and to use up some yarn in your stash.

These patterns are perfect for all skill levels so even if you’re a beginner, you can make these!
