Technique instructions To make amigurumi toys, you work in a spiral, this means that the row doesn’t end in a slip stitch, it just goes on in the next row. So it is important to count your stitches or to mark the end or beginning of a row with a thread or a stitch marker. The stitches have to be close together or the stuffing will come through. If the holes between the stitches are too big you can use a smaller hook or thicker yarn. However, if you use thicker yarn, you’ll need more of it. The thicker the yarn, the bigger the toy will be and the thinner the yarn, the smaller the toy will be. Stuffing Fiberfill is perfect for stuffing, but it tends to shrink after a while. So put a lot of stuffing in the toy. To stuff smaller parts you can use the back of a pencil or the back of a crochet hook or anything else you have lying around. Abbreviation of crochet stitches American crochet terms Chain: ch Single crochet: sc Slip stitch: sl st Half double crochet: hdc Double crochet: dc Treble crochet: tr Double treble crochet: dtr Increasing Crocheting several stitches in one stitch. E.g.: 3sc in 1 Crocheting several types of stitches in one stitch. E.g.: (1dc, 1sc, 1dc) in 1 Decreasing Crocheting several stitches together. E.g.: 2sc tog Crocheting several types of stitches together: E.g.: (1sc, 1dc, 1sc) tog The pattern Bits that are between brackets have to be repeated. E.g.: (2sc, 2sc in 1) x 6, repeat the bit between brackets 6 times. Bits between square brackets have to be repeated. E.g.: [2sc, (1sc, 2sc in 1) x 2, 1sc] x 3. The bit between brackets has to be done twice, the entire thing between square bracket has to be done 3 times. The number between brackets at the end of the row gives the total of stitches in that row. Tips I find it easier to sew the arms, legs, tails onto the body before I stuff it, this way I can fasten the ends at the inside of the body. Leave a long piece of yarn at the end of, for example, an arm to sew the arm to the body.

Fasten off and make another surfboard. Cut out a piece of cardboard 1 mm smaller than the crochet surfboards so you can still work in the edges. Put the 2 surfboards on top of each other and join them with yellow, we’ll put the cardboard in later. Start in the second to last stitch of the last row: 1sc, 3sc in 1, 86sc (1 for every row), 3sc in 1, 45sc, put the cardboard in, 41sc, 3sc in 1, 6sc, 1sl st in 1st stitch (188) Fasten off.
