Button the Mushroom Crochet Lesson, left-handed

This is the left-handed version of the Button lesson. It is available now.

This is a digital video lesson. No materials are shipped.

What you will learn

Button is level 9, the last lesson on the Yon skill path, and the one that deals with the step most people rush: putting the pieces together. Like every Yon lesson he teaches all 14 core amigurumi skills, then focuses on:

  • Sewing parts together
  • Neat, secure assembly

A plushie is usually let down at the joins rather than in the rounds. Limbs sit crooked, a head leans, stitches show where two pieces meet, or an arm works loose after a month of being carried around. This lesson spends its time on placement, tension, and finishing the join so it holds and disappears.

It is deliberately the last lesson, because assembly is the skill that makes every earlier character look better in hindsight.

What is included

  • The full lesson shown left-handed, stitch by stitch
  • A downloadable written pattern
  • Access to the right-handed version too, at no extra cost
  • Captions and audio in English, French Canadian, and Vietnamese
  • Lifetime access, with no renewal and no expiry

Our guide to joining crochet pieces covers sewing versus slip stitch if you want the theory first.

Included free with Yon Plus.
