Technique instructions To make amigurumi toys, you work in a spiral, this means that the row doesn’t end in a slip stitch, it just goes on in the next row. So it is important to count your stitches or to mark the end or beginning of a row with a thread or a stitch marker. The stitches have to be close together or the stuffing will come through. If the holes between the stitches are too big you can use a smaller hook or thicker yarn. However, if you use thicker yarn, you’ll need more of it. The thicker the yarn, the bigger the toy will be and the thinner the yarn, the smaller the toy will be. Stuffing
Fiberfill is perfect for stuffing, but it tends to shrink after a while. So put a lot of stuffing in the toy. To stuff smaller parts you can use the back of a pencil or the back of a crochet hook or anything else you have lying around. Abbr evi ati on of cr oc het st it ch es

Bits that are between brackets have to be repeated. E.g.: (2sc, 2sc in 1) x 6, repeat the bit between brackets 6 times. Bits between square brackets have to be repeated. E.g.: [2sc, (1sc, 2sc in 1) x 2, 1sc] x 3. The bit between brackets has to be done twice, the entire thing between square bracket has to be done 3 times. The number between brackets at the end of the row gives the total of stitches in that row. Tips
I find it easier to sew the arms, legs, tails onto the body before I stuff it, this way I can fasten the ends at the inside of the body. Leave a long piece of yarn at the end of, for example, an arm to sew the arm to the body.
