Crochet The Floppies: Amigurumi Patterns 20 Low-Sew Projects with I-Cord Limbs
In Crochet The Floppies: Amigurumi Patterns 20 Low-Sew Projects with I-Cord Limbs, the term I-cord refers to a technique used to create the limbs of the adorable, floppy animals featured in the book. An I-cord is a type of tubular knit or crochet structure that is worked in a small, round shape to form a cord-like object. In this book, the I-cord technique is used to create the limbs of the various “Floppies” (amigurumi animals), adding a fun and playful touch to their appearance.
To make I-cord limbs, the pattern directs you to crochet a series of stitches in the round, but instead of working in a spiral, you only turn your work after a few stitches, creating a narrow, tube-like structure. This technique is typically used for creating small, sturdy pieces like limbs, tails, or even cords for accessories. The finished I-cord limbs are intentionally floppy, giving each animal a charming, relaxed, and slightly whimsical look.
Using I-cord for the limbs also makes the assembly of the animals easier, as there is no need to sew multiple small parts together. This not only saves time but ensures that the critters are cuddly and fun to handle, with a little extra character in their floppy appendages. With the added bonus of clear, easy-to-follow tutorials and step-by-step instructions, even beginners can successfully create these charming I-cord-limbed animals, making it a perfect book for those wanting to explore new crochet techniques while creating adorable gifts or personal collections.
