Crochet tutorial - Amigurumi (Part 1)

When you're inserting the hook into previous stitches to increase...into which part of the previous stitch are you inserting it??

I know that sounds kind of confusing but I'm not sure if I should have one or two strings going over the hook when I push through

u kno im a total noob to crochet and i wanted to begin with amigurumi, and after looking at several vids and getting dangerously close to giving up crochet completely i found this. Thank you so much.

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

how do you make an extra large amigurumi ball?

Add more rounds of increasing (+6 stitches each round) before your middle rounds of straight sc, and more rounds to decrease again.

Ah, this is a great tutorial! I've never crocheted before and I found your instructions very clear. :)

That's great to hear! Thanks for taking time to comment.

:3... this looks like fun... but next time it'd be better if you had a different color yarn from your crochet hook to make it easier to see... but THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH... ^__^

I use different yarns in my other videos. :D Thanks for commenting!

Ball creatures are very important, when one has a cat. I can't tell you how many ball creatures and various other amigurumi parts have been sacrificed to the amusement of cats. I just accept it as a compliment and consider my life complete. XD Have fun!
