Yarning for Something New?

In our newest crochet pattern this month we’ll be crocheting a reversible corgi! This crochet reversible plushy is great for beginners and any occasion, whether that’s happy or grumpy!

Designed by our good friend, Phillip Ha aka SirPurlGrey, this unique amigurumi corgi pattern can be flipped inside out to reveal a second corgi with a different mood! Make them angry, sleepy, happy or silly! With the full video tutorial you can learn color changes, and practice your sewing together!

This pattern was designed for complete beginners too, and is a good starter pattern, with a slowed down step by step video tutorial, downloadable interactive PDF, and now featuring a left handed video tutorial and a Spanish language PDF!

Kits are now available in the shop for these reversible amigurumi too, and make sure to join the live crochet along on January 30th starting at 1pm PST!

NEWEST KIT

This month’s Pro Membership Kit was for our new Reversible Corgi Plushy Amigurumi! We used 100% wool this month for our main colors to accommodate the stretchy nature for these reversible fellas, and it is so nice to crochet with!! We also added some extra black and pink yarn to include a tongue and add facial features for your corgi!

Of course in addition to all the materials you’ll need, our kit comes with all the instructions with the full interactive PDF and video tutorial to boot!

We’ve got some extras still available for purchase! Order now to get a kit in time for our live crochet along on Sunday January 30th at 1pm PST!

2021 Calendar

As we dive into the new year let’s look back at the 2021 calendar! Last year might have been the most creative round up of new patterns and kits I’ve ever had, not to mention some of the huge steps forward for the site, and myself!

Some highlights this year were definitely the birb takeover, our amazing Earth Day Collaboration, and some of the most detailed patterns I’ve ever made with the Dragon and Carnivorous Plant ending out the year. This year was Club Crochet®’s 4th birthday and for the first time ever thanks to the support of the community through memberships, kits, and donations, I was FINALLY able to quit my full time job and work Club Crochet® 100%!!!

Check out the fancy calendar I made to track our progress through the year, you can follow the line all the way down the rainbow road through all the new patterns and kits that were made for each month through the year. Check out the blog post to find a detailed breakdown for each month, looking at exactly what was made!  

If you were able to support through a membership you’ll definitely recognize these as the kits that you received each month! We’ve got a pretty amazing year planned out for 2022, so if you want to join the club there’s never a better time than the present! Get a Pro Membership to get monthly kits and help support the site!

  Thank you all so much for your support and being with me throughout another whirlwind of a year. So excited to see what’s in store for Club Crochet® next!!
