Crochet Lizzo! Next challenge face shaping

Hey everyone,

I made Lizzo for a friend of mine and I’m super proud of her! Please let me know your thoughts (be nice though!)

I designed her as I went along which was interesting as I didn’t write down what I did so matching both her arms and legs was a challenge :joy:

I’d like to learn how to shape faces better as I’ve only ever done them round like most Amigurumi patterns. Can anyone recommend any patterns I could try?

I’ve been using Ribblr for a while but this is my first time posting so hi everyone! I love seeing everyone’s makes and patterns :heart:

that looks absolutely awesome well done!! I haven’t don’t any face shaping, but maybe you could do a normal sphere, but whilst your doing it increase in areas where there are gonna be protruding areas on the face? Hope that made sense :sweat_smile::joy:

You can shape an amigurumi face by increasing and decreasing the pattern to achieve the desired shape, or by sculpting the face. You can find many videos about this on the internet.

Thanks I’ll have a look - the ones I’ve seen so far have been for creating animals rather than people

You can also give the face more shape through embroidery.

Oh how fun! I’m sure your friend is thrilled!
I don’t have any advice/help as I am terrible at amigurumi and therefore don’t make any… Good luck with it though :grin:
