Thank you for a great video, Elise! Many, MANY YEARS ago, my mother lamented each Christmas, “My 2 big girls, and where can I shop? Toys r Us!” - because my sister and I (in our 20s and 30s) always loved the toys she put in our stocking! My mom and sister are gone now, but thanks to you I can still enjoy toys without the embarrassment of shopping for them at almost 70 years of age! Love it! 😻☺️

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Love that!!! I've never grown out of toys either!! 😂 So glad amigurumi brings back wonderful memories of your family! 🦞❤️🧶

@colson8327 Год назад

YES!! SAME! I am 65 and never outgrew stuffies. Now I can make them for myself and my little grandson. I am a beginner. 😊

@laurendoyle8841 2 года назад

I love the way you show off your first attempts at crocheting toys! It made me feel a lot better about all my protypes (first attempts at amigurumi) it also really shows off how much you've evolved as a creator 💓 brilliant video Elise

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Thank you so much! ❤️ I always want people to realize that I didn't start off making beautiful toys! I started just like everyone else and I I practiced and practiced and practiced some more! 😂Amigurumi is a skill, not a talent. It just takes making them over and over and over again!! ❤️❤️❤️

This is literally THE BEST video out there when it comes to amigurumi. I’ve just restarted crocheting after a 2 year break. I stopped doing it because I learned all the stitches, followed every rule, watched a ton of videos yet I was never satisfied with my toys. This video is a game changer for me, I’m so happy I found your channel 🥰 I’m sure I’ll be a lot happier with my projects from now on.

@ChibiChidorii Год назад

another tip for eyes, which might not be as beginner friendly, but it's really good for people that enjoy diverse crafting is that a lot of people in the Ball Jointed Doll community makes their own eyes and they have a whole variety of styles and colors. and sometimes you can find kits and molds to make them. If you get some eye shape you like you can easily make a mold and then make more with clay or resin, paint and even nail acrylic or gel polish works wonders. I also use nail gel to make small accessories like swords, glasses, horns, noses, etc. It works wonders!

Hi Elise! Great tips and tricks! You are the amigurumi Goddess!!! My go to is worsted weight yarn, 3 or 3.25 tapered metal hook. I use the over method but have begun to practice the under method, and yes it hurts my hands. When I first started to make faces I crocheted a few balls and just practiced making eyes. Thanks for everything, I always learn something new from you 💕

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

That's so great that you have found the right yarn weight and hook size! And thanks for sharing what that combination looks like for you! And that's a great way to practice making eyes!!! Such a good tip!! 🧶🧶🧶

This was so helpful!! Thank you. It’s so frustrating to get half way through a project and realize it’s not going the way you envisioned. Looking at it objectively is hard at the time but know what to pay attention to from the start helps identify where I’ve gone wrong and correct it before I decide to chuck the whole thing. You are so right when you said practice makes perfect. 💖

Another wonderful set of tips. I am watching and saving these videos as I am making my first bunny from your video. I have to protect my old hands from strain or injury. So I limit what I do each day. Sometimes I need to do a off between days of working. I am having so much fun.

Thank you Elise, I dont know why but your amigurumis tips seems so differents that most of others youtubers who are teaching. Yours tips are concrete, and are about problems that a lots of people who are making amigurumis are facing! Lets say for embroiying the face: we receive a lot of the tips like: "Pratice!" Yes I agree, but there is more then that! The 3 things that did changed my game we're: I use embroidery floss for doing the facial features. 2. For so many years I just believed that if you dont get it right the first time, thats it, you're done, there is nothing else you can do!!!! ....But YOU CAN FROG your face features and re-do it until you are happy! Its simple isnt? But WHAT a REVELATION to me!!!😂 Its also because not to many people do it or mention it! So thank you for all your videos about tips and tricks on amigurunis.... I can't wait to crochet your cat lady...it will be my first pattern I buy from you!!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Thank you so very much!!! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tips!!! And you are so right about frogging the embroidery! I rarely get it right the first time! 🧶🧶🧶

@debeightonethree6346 Год назад

Genuinely the first tips video I've ever clicked on that had answers to problems I have! Thank you! I love crochet but tbh I usually stick to blankets/shawls etc because I enjoy the way I don't have to concentrate and can just relax but I have enjoyed making toys etc and have even made some up as I went along, but I'm usually put off because the tighter stitches hurt my hands- thank you for letting me know to avoid cotton! I had no idea that could help me! Also, I don't know if this might help beginners but when I first started I would play around making mini 'aliens'. I'd use left over yarns and make unusual shapes and experiment and get used to how increasing/decreasing worked. I would stuff them and attach googly eyes and because they were small and I wasn't following a specific pattern there was never any pressure to 'get it right'. Thanks again for your tips!

I just loved these tips. I make the same sound when I have to do the face. I do a lot of ripping out and repeating, but I think I'm getting better. The tip about going down in size in the crochet hook was very helpful also. I'm glad you mentioned the eyes. I have a hard time finding the right size eyes in my local hobby stores. My favorite item I made were the girl Bitty Bunnies for my two granddaughters ages 2 and 3. They are starting preschool; I think I need to make them Mr. Pencil. I love your tutorials they are so easy to follow especially for us beginners.

I’m from Canada. I wanted to buy yarn locally, so I was on the hunt for wool mix like you suggested. I found it. I’m so happy. I like to support my country and our economic growth. Love the bargains in the US, but shipping and custom charges basically deletes the bargain. Sometimes no customs and sometimes yes. I don’t know why. Anyway I got gorgeous-vintage yarn in lots of pretty colours. I’ve purchased some of the books you showed and love them. Have a happy week.💖

As i observed crocheting yarning under is easy when you are holding the hook like a chopstick, while yarning over when you hold the hook like a spoon, that was i have noticed but it both do look good but yes yarning under quite saves a lot of yarn but haven't doing it I'm loving yarning over since 5 yrs of crocheting, this is very good video i love your teaching I've learned more.

OMG! I always struggle with getting one strand of embroidery that I actually stopped using it! I just saw you do it and my mind is blown!! I feel so silly! Thank you!!

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Don't feel silly at all! I used to cross stitch and I learned how to separate the stands that way a long time ago! ❤️❤️❤️

I've taught myself to freehand jellyfish crochet projects (less than two weeks into my crocheting journey, haha) -- so, I'm working without patterns (initially, I watched a few tutorials and followed one for my first jelly, but now i just go ham on each jellyfish). Anyway, I've been looking for ways to get better at this particular project that i seem to be accidentally specializing in, and I found your tips very helpful! Especially about hook sizes and yarn weights (which, since I'm not working with a pattern, i don't have written-out directions on which hook v weight to use). Ill definitely be coming back to your channel for tips and such. I love your energy!

I love to do knitted and crochet amigurumi. I use a lot of #2 sport weight yarn. I love KnitPicks Shine Sport. This past week I was at Hobby Lobby and my husband was helping me look for sport weight yarn and he found me YarnBee Yarntopia. It is 100% acrylic and is a sport weight yarn. It is so soft. It feels very much like Shine Soort. I am using the ivory color as the flesh part of a new doll I am making. I love it. And I got it on a 30% off week (normally $4.99 for 40z, 113g, 312 yds, 285 meters.)The only down side is it can be splitty. But I don’t mind that. I just love touching this yarn and it is crocheting up beautifully in my doll

I love Big Twist Value! Its a medium weight (4), I have just finished my first amigurumi with it and it was super easy to work with! Super affordable too, not too rough! Overall great! It was like a little over $4.00 USD a skein at JoAnn's!

I live in Georgia, and I use cotton for darn near everything! Other yarns are way too warm for wearables and blankets most of the year. Definitely experiment with cotton and cotton blends. I love it for amigirumi. And don't discount holding that yarn double! It helps bulk up the cotton a lot.

@EliseRoseCrochet Год назад

Thank you for sharing!! I love cotton yarn, it just doesn't love me back! 😂 Because it has less stretch it causes a lot of stiffness and pain in my hands and wrists. 🧶🧶🧶

@rileyallen489 Год назад

@@EliseRoseCrochet That makes perfect sense. I've certainly found a few of drawbacks with a few brands of cotton, too. I'll have to try acrylic in sport and see if my hands like that better!

@kindledragon2687 10 месяцев назад

I've just started with this. I will not be buying stuffing. I have tons of old pillows and several old dog toys. Not sure what the stuffing is, but recycling is great. One old lumpy pillow will stuff a ton of toys. It doesn't take that long to refluff the stuffing. I'll be breaking my hands on cotton for a bit, lol. I found the perfect colors for decorating my room with oodles of toys.

Thank you so much for answering my question, without asking, about cotton yarn. I bought a ton of cotton yarn about a year ago to make a blanket and it wasn't the right weight of yarn. So it's has just been sitting there. I have been using this yarn now, for the amigurumi pieces. My wrists are killing me. Understand I crochet every single day, every chance I get, and the longer that the two years have gone on that I've been crocheting the more my wrists are starting to hurt.😳 Thank you for your information about the cotton yarn.💗💗💗

@EliseRoseCrochet 2 года назад

Yep, I had to stop using 100% cotton a couple of years ago. I ended up with pretty bad tendinitis and found that cotton yarn was contributing to it. Thankfully a lot of other yarns have some stretch and look lovely with toys too! 🧶🧶🧶

@whisperingeaglelanders2339 2 года назад

@@EliseRoseCrochet yes, I love the woolyarns. I've never tried the mixed wools. I will have to get some of the ones you suggested. What is tendinitis? Can it be fixed? I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble.😒
