TIPS

• Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
• Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round
• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart each large chunk into many smaller chunks. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi
• Booties can be made in any desired colors.

Seamless way of changing color when working in the round

Pick up the new color at the end of the round: inset your hook into the stitch, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

To make a magic ring

1. Loop the thread twice around your middle finger
2. Put the hook under both loops, pull the yarn under the loops and hook the thread again
3. Pull the thread through the new loop. The first crochet stitch is ready!
4. Repeat the number of times needed.
5. Pull the inner threads to tighten the ring.

SPECIAL STITCHES

Back Post Single Crochet

Starting from the back of the work, insert hook from back to front, continue across the post, and insert hook from front to back, yarn over, draw the yarn forward, around the post, and through to the back of the work, yarn over and draw the yarn through the two loops on the hook.

Clusters may be made up of any number of stitches. Clusters used for this pattern are made of two or three double crochets in one stitch. Do only the first half of each double crochet so that the last loop of each double crochet is held back on the hook. Yarn over, insert hook into the stitch, yarn over and draw back through the stitch. Yarn over and insert the hook into the next stitch, draw up a loop. Repeat once again for a 3-dc cluster. Then yarn over and draw through all loops on hook at one time.

INSTRUCTIONS
