7 Tips to Make Your Amigurumi Crochet Doll Cuter 

Wow. Yarn under. I had no idea there even was a technique called this and would have never figured out the result would be different lol

I just started using 100% cotton yarns and I LOVE how they look and feel after being knit/crocheted. They are a bit tougher to work with, but it’s worth it for me. Using a smaller hook also makes it harder but the right stitches look great to me for amigurumi!

Howdy, I don't think I ever heard about the difference between yarn over and under (I see I'm not alone). Wow your creations are beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

I had always wondered why I couldn't see the v stitches in some amigurumis. Thanks to you now I know that it's done by doing the yarn under technique.

Thank you!! I always wondered how they got that extra poofy look. Now I know it’s by using the yarn under technique!😊😊

So I am very new to amigurumi. I bought your Repunzel pattern today . I’m making the arms and found it hard to hold on to it so I stuck an unsharpened pencil into the arm and continued to crochet. It helped a lot.

I’d love an in-depth video on how you join body parts together 💜

Thank you so much for these tips! I was wondering how everyone’s amigurumis were made because their stitches looked different from mine and no matter what hook/ tension I used I couldn’t get the X stitch for the neater look. I would’ve never figured it out on my own. Turns out I needed to do yarn under! So informative thank you SO SO much!!

I'm somewhat new to crochet/amigurumi (I started back in August), and this video was super helpful. I've got to try the yarn under trick!! ^^

Something interesting about acrylic yarns is that they're made of synthetic - or man-made - materials, so they have a lot of pros and cons. The pros being that is pretty stretchy and durable, so it's great for items that are going to be touched a lot - dolls, clothes, accessories, and blankets. I've found that for my sweaters, it seems to get softer the more I wash it, though it does make those little fiber pills that i need to "shave" off occasionally. The cons here are few, in my opinion; Because it's a plastic-based synthetic, it doesn't handle heat well, so using acrylic for things like coasters or tea towels is a very bad idea! You also have to be careful about washing it, as putting in hot wash or dry setting can make it really rough and scratchy. It also tends to get snagged and wrap around things when in the washing machine, so make sure to put your yarn goods in mesh bags beforehand, or wash them separately.

Thanks for the tips. I didn't realize there was a difference between yarn over and yarn under. I'm glad you showed the difference between them. I'm going to try the tips. And again thank you for sharing 🐱😊

안녕하세요....다른 동영상에 한글말이 있어서 혹시나 하고 댓글 남겨봅니다. 영어가 부족한 편인데 다른 팁들은 동영상이랑 같이 보니 이해가 잘 되는데 under yarn 부분이 이해가 잘 안가서요.. under yarn/over yarn 에 대한 부분만 한글로 설명해 주실 수 있나요? 이제껏 over yarn으로만 떴는데 under yarn으로 뜨면 더 단정해보이는 외에 또 어떤 장점이 있을까요? 친절한 영상 감사합니다!!

Wow,very good

Many thanks

Super helpful! What kind of glue are you using for the eyes?

Thank you aloha from Hawaii 🌺🌺🌺

I find it interesting about people not knowing yarn under. Then Again i did it automatically. I first started crocheting for the heck of it years again and learn it that way. And when I looked into it for amigurumi, I was taught yarn over was the way to go. But I find it more stubborn so I gonna go back to yarn under

Hi there! Thanks for this great video! I do have a question. If you place the face last, how do you make the safety eyes stay in place? Glue?

i do the yarn under for the invisible decrease but i always wonder how much to stuff and the smaller i get closer to the closing bit and stuff it there i can see the stiches stretching's and see some fluff. Ell i can as im picky with my work

I'll sometimes use the recommended size hook but double up the yarn so the stuffing doesn't show through.

I Love You!!

Very neat work. Thank you for the tips.

what about bigger teddys ect that dosent always work to look that good.and what size darning needle do u use i have some big ones with big holes and one smaller harder to get the cotton ect in and small

Çok şirin olmuş👍🏻

Oh cool! I only ever used the yarn under technique. So I guess I'll just keep doing it. :-)

I’ve been crocheting for most of my life - my grandmother taught me at a very young age - and I don’t recall learning how to yarn under single crochet stitches 😳 I’m definitely going to try out this technique for my next amigurumi, tysm for sharing your super helpful tips!!

❤️❤️❤️

L❤️VE it!...

i use the plastic eyes ect.and how do u get yours to stand at te end mine dont.but mine dont look so straight and tight

Very helpful video. I was wondering, if that by only gluing the eyes on, won’t they be more prone to coming off easily at a later date?

Thank you for the tips! Can you please tell me the name of the music that starts at around 9:00 minutes? Thank you very much!

hi, you said the technique for the amigurumi keychain is different. can you elaborate, please?

so cute

What glue do you use and does it stay?

Hello! What glue do you use for the eyes?

Same experience here, for yarn things get cute or bad

Would you be able to do curious George?

You mentioned the type of yarn and the tension, but what weight of yarn do you use? I ask because it looks like the yarn you are using may be thinner than the average DK acrylic yarn. (Double Knit yarn has a big 4 on the label, thinner and fingering yarns have 3, 2, or 1) Since thinner yarn makes a tighter tension easier and it makes a smaller (and cuter!) amigurumi, I'd really like to know. Thanks!

Hi! where you get your cotton yarn from?

Omg could I know where I could find the cinamoroll pattern? Thank you!

Very nice! I am looking for a pattern of an amigurumi coffee bean. Does anyone know such a thing?

Also so the stich that you go under it makes it bubblier and if you want it more bubblier go through only the front loop only
