Crochet plush hamster part 1 | Amigurumi free crochet pattern

Welcome to the first part of our amigurumi hamster head crochet-along! In this video, we'll begin crafting the head of our furry friend, focusing on the basic shape and structure. We'll be using single crochet, increases and decreases to create a cute and cuddly hamster head. Learn how to embroider eyebrows and mustaches.
This video is perfect for beginners, as we'll go through each step slowly and clearly. You'll learn how to:
Start with a magic ring
Work in continuous rounds
Increase and decrease stitches to create the desired shape
Learn how to tighten the muzzle of your hamster
By the end of this video you will have a fully finished hamster head, including the ears.
In the second part of the video you and I will crochet arms, paws for our adorable hamster, connect the legs to the torso and crochet a characteristic hamster tummy.
