what is the size of your hook? What are the sizes of the hooks do you recomend me to buy? thanks ! :)

[WireMySoul]

I recommend worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 or 4mm hook for amigurumi. Happy hooking!

Hey I was wondering does this work the same for crochet thread?

[WireMySoul]

You'd have to use a super tiny hook, but yeah. If crocheting thread is your thing, I would imagine you could manage 3D forms with it using the same shaping techniques shown here.

[WireMySoul]

I thought it was pretty funny myself, when I discovered my mistake. I had never heard the word spoken when I made this so many years ago. Live and learn, right?

[WireMySoul]

Sorry Bunnybear I missed this comment. If you don't know how to single crochet yet, I highly recommend the channel CrochetGeek by tjw1963, she makes the very best crochet vids for beginners.

thx because of your video I know how to do this :-)

[bunnybearloser20]

Or is it like, adding one more like a chain? I am really confused right now. so please reply ASAP.

[bunnybearloser20]

I dont understand what you mean by 2 singled crochet stitch. Does it mean like a double crochet or something or like add a loop? Idk. So can you please explain?

[Wolfjazzypup1009]

I really want to learn how to do this! But using the same colour hook and yarn makes it too hard to follow >.<
