Welcome to Amigurumi Camp!
Our brand-new quarterly amigurumi workshop is designed to take your crochet skills to the next level while you work on an exciting, exclusive pattern. Hosted on our Patreon, Ami Camp is a built-in perk for our G.O.A.T. tier members, giving them first access to each new workshop as part of their membership.
Each session focuses on a fresh, unique design and includes detailed stitch tutorials, technique breakdowns, and step-by-step video guides to support you through the entire project. Whether you’re looking to master a tricky new stitch, refine your shaping, or just enjoy a structured crochet experience, Ami Camp is here to help!
But that’s not all—Ami Camp is more than just a pattern and tutorial series; it’s a community-driven learning experience. Participants can chat, ask questions, and share their progress in a private Discord channel, where we willl be available to offer personalized feedback and support.
If you love challenging yourself with new techniques while making whimsical amigurumi, Ami Camp is the perfect place to learn, create, and connect with fellow crocheters. Ready to join the adventure? Grab your hooks and meet us by the (virtual) campfire!
Whether you are a dedicated amigurumist or are just starting to get into ami-making, Ami Camp will help you beef up your crochet skills and add tools to your ami toolkit.
Meet Saturnalia Barb, the subject of our very first ami camp! Barb is a party loving, holiday legend who can move seamlessly from cozy to festive, and who is dedicated to good times.

How does it work?
Each quarter, we release a brand-new Ami Camp workshop exclusively through our Patreon, featuring a unique pattern along with step-by-step video tutorials to guide you through the project. To make your crochet journey even smoother, each session includes helpful tools like project planners, color pickers, an optional make-along schedule, and fun assignments to keep you engaged. We also provide links to useful resources to help you master new stitches and techniques.
The workshop is available for the entire quarter, so you can work at your own pace without pressure. When the quarter ends, our G.O.A.T. tier members gain access to the latest session, while previous Ami Camp workshops will be available for purchase, ensuring that no one misses out on the fun.
Do I have to become a Patron?
Nope! We understand that being a recurring patron isn’t necessarily for everyone, so Ami Camp sessions will be available to purchase individually through our Patreon shop.
However, you should know that ami camp is included for G.O.A.T. tier members and offered at a 20% discount for Head of the Herd members — and that’s not all! Depending on your tier, you’ll also get:
- Monthly Wallpaper!
- Access to the Freddy Goat Discord

- 20% Off in Our Shops!
