Amigurumi projects are cute and fun to make, but if you don't know how to crochet, you need to learn. The special crochet project requires a pattern, your trusted crochet hooks, yarn to go with and accessories. It is always recommended to understand the working of basic crochet stitches, especially single crochet stitches and crocheting in rounds. You’ll be making the exterior of an object while filling will shape the project.
A pattern is the most important ingredient in making the Amigurumi crochet project. A designer instructs the steps of making the object and unlike sweaters, shawls, blankets and other projects, a miscalculation of even one stitch can change the entire look, the bunny you might be crocheting may have a loopy ear or the pumpkin you were making might look misshapen.
So, let’s get started.
Step 1: Gather Tools & Materials
Step 2: Slip Knot, Chain Stitch, Terms & Abbreviations
After gathering all supplies start with a slip knot. You can alternatively be instructed to start with a magic loop. Most Amigurumi crochet projects will require knowledge about how to make a Magic Ring. The ring of stitches works on a loose adjustable loop. For crochet beginners, the method might look fiddly but once you master the technique you’ll have beautiful round crochet without a hole in the middle.
If you need to slip knot, then pick the yarn, make sure to keep a 6-10 inch tail. Pinch the yarn between your fingers and create a loop and place it on the crochet hook. Pull both ends of the yarn (one leading to the ball and the tail) so that knot sits snug on the hook. After the secure stitch on the crochet hook, chain a number of stitches.
Step 3: Crochet Stitches: Single, Increase, Decrease
After the magic ring or the chain, continue as instructed. Single crochet stitches (SC), Half Double Crochet, and Double Crochet are used to make a dense fabric. Follow the steps to the word.
Once you are done with the exterior and interior filling, with a finishing needle weave in the yarn ends.
