100 Micro Amigurumi: Crochet Patterns and Charts for Tiny Amigurumi

Steffi Glaves’s “100 Micro Amigurumi” is a delightful journey into the world of miniature crochet, offering an extensive collection of patterns and charts for creating adorable tiny amigurumi. As someone who loves working with amigurumi but has always been intrigued by the idea of crafting on a smaller scale, I found this book to be both inspiring and informative.

One of the most appealing aspects of this book is its wide range of themes, with chapters dedicated to everything from cute creatures to fruits and vegetables, sealife, space, fairy woodland, and more. Each chapter features ten unique patterns, providing ample variety and ensuring there’s something to suit every taste and interest.

What sets this book apart is its focus on micro amigurumi, with some projects as small as a thumbnail or no bigger than your thumb. Despite their tiny size, these creations are bursting with charm and personality, making them perfect for a variety of uses, from charms and jewelry to keyrings and dollhouse decorations.

Glaves provides detailed instructions for working at such a small scale, including tips on holding the thread and hook, embroidering faces and expressions, and adding hair. Additionally, there is helpful advice on reducing and increasing stitches, changing colors mid-row, and crocheting in rounds.

I particularly appreciated the inclusion of charts for flat pattern sections and step-by-step photography and artworks for special techniques and stitches. This added visual guidance makes it easier for crafters to follow along and achieve beautiful results.

Overall, “100 Micro Amigurumi” is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in exploring the world of miniature crochet. Whether you’re a seasoned amigurumi enthusiast looking to try something new or a beginner eager to dive into the world of tiny crochet, this book is sure to spark your creativity and provide hours of crafting enjoyment.

My daughter’s school has project-based finals instead of tests in the spring, and in her geometry class last year the students constructed a scale model of a town complete with three-dimensional buildings.

Of course building a paper town doesn’t have to include a geometry lesson (they also calculated the volume of their buildings) but it is a fun way to get kids to express their creativity by decorating the buildings and talking about the things they would want to include in their own town.

Putting buildings together is a test of fine-motor skills, and if kids are working on a town together they’ll need to negotiate what goes where and why.

Get started with the house printables from Kids Activities Blog. They’ve got a “plain” roof house and a “fancy” roof house to choose from. Just print, color, cut out and assemble.

You might want more than just houses in your little town, though, so I went hunting for some more printable templates you can use to make different kinds of buildings.

Brother has printable skyscrapers, cars, people, trees and lights (shown above) that are meant to be printed in color buy you can do them in black and white so kids can color them in if you want.

Printablee has another colorized set of paper buildings including different kinds of houses and something that maybe looks like a church or school.

If you’re willing and bale to pay for printables to use in your paper town, there are lots of great ones available on Etsy. Ludlow Prints has a collection with a school, grocery store, bakery and other buildings, while Paper Fun By Yumi includes things like a hospital, fire department and police station (essential if you’ve done a community helpers unit!).

Tiger Bee Learning has a printable set with 20 different buildings, including a bank, library, museum and zoo to name a few, as well as a blank template for kids to design their own buildings. Once you have the basics of making a piece of paper into a 3D building down, kids are sure to want to make their own buildings to add to the town.

Older kids can also write about why they picked the buildings they did, and littler kids will have fun building their town over and over again.
