All amigurumi toys are crocheted withtight stitches. Avoid small holes when stretching crochet fabric, if there aresome tiny holes, use a smaller sizehook. To avoid seams, all details are crocheted in a spiral without slipstitch and lifting loops. There is achance that youwill lose the beginning of the row; to avoid this, use a marker. It can be a colored pin or thread of contrastingcolor.
Tip 1The toy must be
crocheted with tight stitches, to be sure that
there won't be any holes through which stu�ng
material can be seen.
Tip 2To 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 �nished
with a loop at the marker.
