How to make a magic ring
Next, we're going to start our first lesson on how to create a magic ring. We'll teach you using very simple methods, so there's no need to worry!
How to use a crochet ring
We understand that many beginners might find it challenging to hold the yarn, so we've created a helpful tutorial on using a crochet ring. If you still feel unsure about holding the yarn after finishing your first round, we invite you to watch this video for some guidance!
Single Stitch
Before learning the single stitch.
we need to know some patterns of the crochet.
This pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round
sc -- single crochet
*** If you want to learn how to crochet, single crochet is one of the most important stitches you need to know. A majority of crochet patterns and projects incorporate single crochet stitches.
Single crochet is one of the easiest stitches to master. Once you've learned the single crochet stitch, there are infinite possible ways to use it. You can work it in rows, in rounds or spirals, as edging, in different parts of the stitch for different effects, and combined with other stitches in countless variations.
Round 1
Crochet 8 single stitches in Round 1. Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:
sc x 8 (8)
Since the pattern is: sc -- single crochet,
and sc x 8 means 8 single stitches,
(8) means the total stitches.
OK, I know you already understand a little bit.
In this video, I will show you how to crochet the single crochet.
Now, let go on!
Here's your first round of purely nice and easy single-crochet stitches!
Round 2 : 8 sc (8)
Round 3 : 8 sc (8)
Round 4 : 8 sc (8)
this is :
all the single stitches in this round.
Great!
Let's go!
In this video we only show the crochet of Round 2, it's the same pattern from Round 1 to Round 4,
Please remember to place the stitch marker on the first stitch of each round!

Stuff amigurumi
***
- How you stuff your amigurumi greatly affects its shape – lumpy or smooth, saggy or plump.
- If you don’t add enough, your amigurumi may look sunken in.
- If you add too much, the stuffing might be seen from the outside of your work.
- It takes time to learn how much stuffing to put in your work, but don’t worry – you’ll get a feel for it with some experience
- Pull apart a thin piece of polyfil, and shape it into roughly the same diameter as the bottom most point of your work.
- Put this layer of polyfil in your work.
- Push down on the polyfil from all angles, to make it consistently flat. Keep adding thin layers of polyfil, adjusting the diameter of it as the diameter of your work changes.
