All amigurumi toys are crocheted with tight stitches. Avoid small holes when stretching crochet fabric, if there are some tiny holes, use a smaller size hook. To avoid seams, all details are crocheted in a spiral without slip stitch and lifting loops. There is a chance that you will lose the beginning of the row; to avoid this, use a marker. It can be a colored pin or thread of contrasting color.
Tip 1
The toy must be
crocheted with tight
stitches, to be sure that
there won't be any holes
through which stuffing
material can
be seen.
Tip 2
To keep track of
the beginning of the
row, use a marker. Pin
marker to the last loop
of the row. Every new
row must be finished
with a loop at
the marker.
