Definition

Three-dimensional crochet includes stuffed forms, vessels, layered florals and any work whose silhouette matters as much as its face.

Overview

Where flat crochet is judged on stitch pattern, dimensional work is judged on proportion and how well the piece stands, sits or drapes in space.

Techniques from amigurumi, sculptural work and 3D florals overlap heavily here.

Characteristics

  • Designed to be viewed from all angles
  • Structure from gauge, stuffing or armature
  • Proportion matters more than stitch pattern

Typical uses

  • Toys and figures
  • Botanical pieces
  • Baskets and vessels
  • Art objects
