• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• Amigurumi 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.

INSTRUCTIONS

ARM (2x)

Work with white color yarn.

Round 1: 6 single crochets into Magic Ring

Stuff the arm slightly.

LEG (2x)

Start with white color yarn.

Round 9-10: single crochet in each of next stitch until the end of the round.

Bind off the first leg. Work the second leg the same way but don´t cut the yarn as we will join the legs together to make the body. Stuff both legs firmly.

SHIFT STITCH

Sometimes during a work of the spiral amigurumi, you need to keep the work symmetrically. As work tends to twist to the right you need to adjust position of the marker periodically (beginning of the round).

Shift stitch is an extra stitch you work at the end of a round to make your work look symmetrical. If you notice that marker moves right, you need to work one extra stitch in the end of the round and move marker for one stitch (now second stitch of the round becomes first). This is shift stitch.

The shift stitch is not included in the round description. To check if it’s time to work shift stitch fold your work in half and check if marker still goes straight or use a yarn that marks a straight line.

You may think this is an increase, but it isn’t. This way you don’t increase or decrease the number of stitches. The stitches count remains the same.

BODY
