CROCHETING TIPS
1.What is X-shape stitch/V-shape stitch? Which one is better?
X-shape stitch or V-shape stitch depends on the way you pull the yarn through the loop. If you yarn
over the hook from back to front, you’re making a V-shape stitch. If you yarn under the hook, then it’s
a X-shape stitch. Both ways are fine, you can crochet whichever you find easier.
V-shape stitch helps your amigurumi look bigger, while X-shape stitch makes your amigurumi more
beautiful and helps to make the amigurumi tighter.
X-shape stitch V-shape stitch
2.Right side vs wrong side? Which one is correct?
You can see the difference between the right side and wrong side in the photos bellow.
When you crochet mini-sized toys/dolls, it is unable to turn the sides. Therefore, it is normal having
the wrong side out.
Right side Wrong side
3.Hide the yarn
For the remaining yarn, you can use a tapestry needle and weave it vertically through stitches. Repeat
a couple times to make sure it stays firmly.
Use the tapestry needle Weave the yarn vertically
through some stitches
Repeat a couple times
CROCHETING TIPS
4.How to count stitches?
Do not count the stitch on the hook.
Counting on magic ring Counting on foundation chain
Chain 6, start from 2nd chain on the hook
For the oval shapes ( arms and legs parts of this book)
Chain 6 Start from the 5th stitch Follow the instruction
On last chain, we often crochet
three stiches
Continue crochet on other side We finish the 1st rnd
5.How to change the yarn color correctly?
Before changing the yarn color,
there are two loops on the
hook.
Take the yarn (you want to
change) through both loop.
Change the color as instructed.
CROCHETING TIPS
6.Invisible Decrease
Normal decrease (photo bellow) will make a large hole, so we should use insivible decrease. Just crochet
on front loop only.
Normal decrease Crochet on front loop only Pull the yarn through two front
loops
Pull the yarn through two loop Pull the yarn through two
remaining loops
7.Weave in the remaining 6 sts on the last rnd
After you finish crochet Use a tapestry needle and
weave over remaining sts.
Pull the yarn to close and hide
the remaining yarn.
8.Finishing
There are a loop like photo
bellow
Pull the yarn through last stitch
