Would I be able to easily make this in bigger sizes to make a snowman?

[tjw1963]

@f12oreve08r You would work more increase stitches to make the ball larger for a snowman.

I just sew on eyes and a mouth and voila! A smliey facce ball of keychain!

@Oscar307975 A smiley sounds like a cute idea.

I love your videos! I have been watching them and making alot of things recently! (For I lost my job...) I am making a little trick-or-treat basket for my nephew and used this ball as pumpkins! They are so cute! I even cut the crochets down and made them even smaller! They are adorable! Thank you so much for your videos! You give very simple and precise directions that are soooooo easy to follow! =D Again, Thank you!

Peace and love to all, Mals <3

Hi um deaf and I want to know what size is the needle because I would like to make a bigger version of that little ball into a bigger ball like a hacky sack :) please reply

[tjw1963]

@mshailz12 I am using a size I/5.5mm crochet hook.

[tjw1963]

@nathylane Amigurumi originally comes from Japan and it is little crochet animals.  Many people here in America will call any size animal amigurumi. This project is related to amigurumi in being part of the structure in a final piece.

[IrisHanniwu]

Uh... how do you do the part of do not join???

[tjw1963]

Instead of joining, you just work a single crochet in the top of the first stitch. This will keep it going in a consecutive round.

[IrisHanniwu]

@tjw1963 Aaaaaaahh..... thaks Teresa!!

[silvermoonsky]

thank you soo much :)

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :)

[hervaj3]

can you do a tutorial on a Large amigurumi ball? -thanks. love your videos!

[tjw1963]

I do have one about the size of a tangerine.

[TheDecemberQueen]

@tjw1963 you need to use a smaller sized needle or yarn :D

[TheDecemberQueen]

@hervaj3 i have a vidio on how to do a large/regular sized amigurumi :D

[maymillywatzdadealy]

can u put this ball on a hat?

[tjw1963]

Sure, you can put this ball anywhere.

[nhijadayrapanneka]

is there a video on how to start off with the stick and yarn?

My mom and I are trying to make scarves and dolls but she said I need to know how to do it first before we go buy it.

[tjw1963]

I have basic crochet videos for the double crochet, single crochet, half double crochet. Is that what you are looking for>

[nhijadayrapanneka]

yes thank you. I would go take a look. once I finish my homework

[MannieMandible]

I had no troubles at all with this! Thank you! This is perfect to use as button for a cuff bracelet or a scarf! Works well as an embellishment, too! Also, I learned fast kittens like to play with it (:

<3 Mannie

[tjw1963]

You are welcome. :) I used to have cats that loved my yarn. They would play in the cardboard tubes after the thread was gone.

[lilies7]

Hello, i love your instructional videos, from you ive learned how to crochet a hat, granny squares and i was able to make a scarve. I wanted to know if you could or have any videos on making animal amigurumi's like bears or cats. I cant only follow by video, i guess thats my handicap.

[tjw1963]

I don't have any animals at this time. I do have a lot of the basic idea behind amigurumi to where you could create your own pattern or understand instructions from a pattern. I will keep this suggestion in mind for a future tutorial if I come up with something.

[lilies7]

thank you!!!

[mouldd]

Brilliant!

Very instructive and nice and slow!

I've seen some videos where the action is so fast, the tutor's fingers are just a blur. I'm a total beginner and this has been of invaluable help.

Thanks very much

[jillianmitki]

Okay, this is probably a really dumb question, but is this crocheting in a spiral? I have had the hardesttime trying to find instructions in the many books I have as well as on the web. I think you may have just cured my complete frustration in figuring out how to crochet in a spiral as so many ami patterns require. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!! :)

[tjw1963]

This is crocheting in a continual spiral. It just means that you are not chaining 1 at the beginning of each round. You are crocheting over your beginning point so you don't have a seam. It is a seamless way of crocheting. I use this technique in the hats too.

[petitepirate21]

OOOooo... that's so cool! I can see useing them as a pom-pom alternative on the hats I make. Oh, and your nails are really pretty!

[katac0mbkitten]

its ah-me-goo-roo-me

[tjw1963]

I have already been corrected, thank you! :)

[mooncakemary]

i am a beginner and your videos have helped me so much! i made this ball without any problems. they also make good pet toys :)

[michiver]

thank you SO much for doing this!! It helped so much ^_^

[kpstar5]

Thank you soo much.I always make something out of it.I wonder if I have my yarn thats sparkly and make a disco ball.....

[tjw1963]

It reminds me of the 1970's dingle balls that some people adorned their cars with, lol.

[dulcixxx]

[tjw1963]
