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!

******Start with the Blue yarn

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 single stitch.

We need to know some crochet patterns.

This pattern is written in US terminology and crocheted in the round

sc --  single crochet

Round 1

Crochet 6 single stitches. Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

sc x 6   (6)

Since the pattern is: sc --  single crochet,

and sc x 6  means 6 single stitches,

(6)  means the total stitches.

OK, I know you already understand a little bit。

Now, let go on!

Round 2

crochet 6 increase stitches. Crocheters love abbreviations, so in pattern speak, that's written as:

inc x 6   (12)

Since 1 increase stitch = 2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch,

1 increase stitch counts as 2 stitches.

This means the pattern could've also been written like this:

[2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch] x 6

And

2 stitches x 6 = 12 total stitches

OK, I know you already understand a little bit。

Now, let go on!

      

Round 3

Good job! You've learned to crochet the single stitch and increase stitch.

Now this round will be easy for U,

[sc, inc] x 6 (18)

Or with a lot more words:

  [1 single crochet stitch,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of 6 times=18 stitches

If you want to see where we're going with Round 3, watch this video:

Round 4

[2sc, inc] x 6 (24)

Or with a lot more words:

  [2 single crochet stitches,1 increase crochet stitch] for a total of 6 times=24 stitches

If you want to see where we're going with Round 4, watch this video:

Round 5

Round 6

Right side & Wrong side

 In crochet, the “Right Side” and “Wrong Side” refer to the two sides of a piece of crochet fabric. The right side is the side of the fabric that is typically seen or displayed, while the wrong side is the side that is usually hidden or not seen.

Follow the video to understand what is the right side and wrong side.

Rounds 7-9

 28 sc  (28)

this is :

all the single stitches in rounds 7-9.

Relax and keep going!

Round 10

 [6 sc, inc] x 4  (32)

Add safety eyes

Safety eyes aren’t safe for children younger than 3 years old, or pets. please take care!

1 it may be between Round 6-7, count it from the top. find two points in the middle, insert 2 pins to mark
2 Replace a pin with a bead

3. Turn the piece over so you can see the end of the bead

4. place the washer, flat side toward your piece, onto the bead.

5. Put the safety eye on a table and push down on the washer with both thumbs, so that it cinches the fabric evenly

DONE!

Crocheting!

I believe you can do it well, With the single stitches round we will not show the video again.

Before we go to Round 13, we need to know the decrease (dec) stitch.

Decrease (dec) Stitch

Decreasing in Single Crochet, dec (This pattern is written in US terminology)

*Joining two single crochet stitches together at the top to make it become one stitch is the way that you decrease in single crochet. This tutorial teaches you step-by-step how to decrease in single crochet.

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

  1. Pull apart a thin piece of polyfill, and shape it into roughly the same diameter as the bottom-most point of your work.
  2.  Put this layer of polyfill in your work.
  3. Push down on the polyfill from all angles, to make it consistently flat. Keep adding thin layers of polyfill, adjusting the diameter of it as the diameter of your work changes.
