A course by Príncipe del Crochet
Marcelo Javier Cortés, better known as Príncipe del Crochet on social media, is a crocheter and amigurumi designer. He started his career as a philosophy and Spanish teacher, but as of 2019, he's been fully devoted to crochet and managing his social media accounts.
A true artist at heart, he's deeply passionate about reading, writing, and crochet, combining all three in his work: he creates characters inspired by his poems and vice versa. As an expert in amigurumi design with an insatiable curiosity, he's constantly searching for new ways to customize his creations and give them an original and distinctive look.
