I’m often asked how to scale one of my amigurumi patterns up or down by a specific amount.

crocheted Bagpuss
I saw on Twitter that there was a UK magazine with a super-cute knit Bagpuss kit on the cover (Your Crochet & Knitting, Issue 17)… and then my Mum bought it and sent it to me! For the uninitiated, Bagpuss was a charming UK kid’s TV show from the 70s that, despite only having 13 […]
