Proper use of technical crochet terms will help to keep the verbiage less convoluted. "Chain 3, join to the first chain with a slip stitch." "Work 8 single crochet stitches into the ring. Join with a slip stitch." Etc. Crochet does not consist of knots, but stitches working together to make a material. With knots you can loose a couple and the material will stay together. With crochet when you loose one stitch the whole work unravels.

rabbit: piglet can you tie a knot? piglet: I cannot rabbit: ah so you can knot piglet: no I cannot knot rabbit: not knot? winnie the pooh: who's there? haha this video reminded me of this epic scene

It would also help if you knew the vocabulary of the stitches too. Makes it easier for a crocheter to follow.

I like your approach to it. Every other tutorial I've watched insist that you count, and most suggest to start by doing a magic ring (which I dislike, personally). Your tutorial helped me to just try amigurumi by reducing the initial worries I had about it being too technical/mathematical for me. Thanks a lot! It's actually quite fun! :)

I've been crocheting for years and this is so confusing. Please just use the correct terminology, don't call them knots or braids call them single crochet and chains. It was so hard to follow because the directions weren't given until after the stitch was taught and then all of a sudden we're on to the next step. People watching this most likely already know how to crochet, if you really want to teach how to do it I'd suggest giving instructions first and then teaching it. Also for the ball every time you start a new row you chain one, you did chain one but didn't give any direction to do so. Very frustrating.

This craft is perfect for me! I am obsessed with crochet and a lot to do with knitting/sewing!! Thanks for sharing this little cactus!

When it comes to RU-vid cacti... these are the best I’ve seen. If you made patterns and/or described the way you made these all step by step you’d make a fortune lady.... I wish you had a pattern for all 4 of these, I would have purchased all of them. I’m not a beginner but I watched this video so many times to get my cacti’s exactly like yours. Thanks so much for this video but a pattern would be great! They are so cute! Best on RU-vid!

These are AMAZING! It's all so complicated :O

I really like it when you call the stitching knot. So cute I'm going to make some of those too. You make it look easy.

This is so helpful and not only taught me to crochet this project but gave me an easy and clear way to learn basics for future projects! Thank you!!👍🏼

So adorable 😍 Thank you for sharing this pattern tutorial with us all And for being so sweet to show felting 💐flowers

Thanks to this tutorial I finally learned how to crochet in circles. My nieces and I had a crochet party and watched this like 10 times until we got it! Thank you.

You are honestly so crafty & talented

This tutorial was so easy to understand! I never really fully understood crocheting until I watched this video. Thank you so much and please continue to make these amazing videos!

This is so cute and very creative haha you come up with the cutest thing

That is so cute! I never good at amigurumi :( I think it will be great for a pincushion too :D

CUTEE!!! OMG, girl,you got some talent!!

haven't watch your videos in a while but wow you are still talented and this channel should get 1 million subscribers

I LOVE all of your little characters you have such a talent and a great imagination!😄

I am in LOVE....so awesome. great tutorial. I feel another crochet addiction coming on. thanks.

I've been crocheting since I was ten but I've never thought of doing this! So adorable and I'm so glad you finally have something that I'm confident I can actually do. :))

I think this is one of my favorite videos I've seen you do so far!!

You're amazing... 2 mins in and I already want to subscribe!

This is the easiest amigurumi tutorial that I've ever seen...THANK YOU SO MUCH! I only know how to crochet single chains and I've been trying to make SOMETHING but kept failing ;_; lol

How could someone dislike it it's so adorable

Aww! That is soooo cute!!! U are sooooo super creative and artistic!

They look awesome mio! Your professional as always

wow you are so talented....so adorable this project...thanks for sharing

most amigurumi projects need the stitches to be exact, so I recommend using stitch markers in the beginning stitch of each row of stitches so you do not lose count of your rows and stitches!

this is sooooo cool! At first i thought it was made out of rainbow loom bands!

ok when i saw this i was like . . . . . OMG GOTTA GO DO THIS

Its soooo cuteee! Ur really good at crochet!

Omg!! How cute!! They look great!!

I've found that doing the circle for the "dirt" and making it a small ball, stuffed, then you're not fighting with the stuffing and you can just put the glue around, and shove the ball in. It's a little cleaner. This was a really good tutorial. Thank you

I love the little things that you make but watching your tutorials are confusing simply because you dont tell what stitch you do, and how ,many to do, instead of saying knots you could call the stich for what it is, a single crochet, and say yea the first round we are going to single crochet in each stich across for the second round we will crochet two single crochets in each stitch around this is how we expand the project etc etc. Ive been crocheting for over 10 years and your tutorials still confuse me . Like i said love your channel it just is hard to follow you.

Wow, these are super cute!

GOOD LORD THANK YOU ive been trying to learn how to do a circle stitch for so long but all of my books made it look so confusing but you made it so easy thank you!!

I've been crocheting for about ten years, and this is a very well done tutorial. However it's called a stitch, not a knot. And the beginning "braid" is a chain ;)

I really admire people who do this kind of art, my respect for them! for me it is a bit complicated to understand...Great, great video!

So adorable!! I gotta crochet my own cacti!! Thank you so much for this wonderful crochet tutorial!! Godbless!

I think this is amazing and I am inspired to do this soon. You can also imprecise by using pom-poms instead of needle felt. And again this is awesome and adorable

Your tutorials are always so informative and creative! this is such a creative idea and I couldn't help but watched through the entire video :)

IM MAKING THIS FOR MY FRIENDS BDAY! Thx for the awesome idea!!!

Aww ohmygoodness these are adorable and they remind me of the sanx sabokappa character!

I really want to do this but its hard to understand:{

Oh my goodness! Their so cute! You're amazing, I honestly have no idea how you do this stuff, you're Super Crafter! :p ♥

this is sooooo cute!!!! thank you for the tutorial! just by watching you making them made me feel good, my mum use to do crochet, she's very good at it. oh those days...

I have always been a bit scared to try this stuff because it looks so complicated, but you explained it really well so if I find all I need in my home I might just give it a try :) Thanks!

These are super adorable though! Great job!

I made one of these this weekend, SO fun and easy.

Please upload more crochet , these are amazing and you have very clear instructions :)x

Its my first time seeing this kind of tutorial and seriously you helped alot! You're tutorial is really easy to follow and understandable! This makes me wanna make a crochet plushie now^^ u got my subscription! ~♡♡

I might try these! But to make it easy can't you use crochet terms.. Not "place it through here and pull it here" call it like a double crochet or single crochet...

I've seen similar concepts of crochet cactus's around, but im not sure if I created my own to my own specifics, size, shape, could I still sell them? Thank you heaps, great video!

Love it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much and its soo adorable

Please make more!! I luv this!

omg i saw this at the perfect time my sis really likes cactus right now and now if i make one shell have a cacti that cant be killed :P thank uuuuuuuuuuuuu

Thank you for sharing!!! U are so creative. Great tutorial!

This is so cute!! I will definitely be making this!

this was just tooooo cute and I will be trying it, thank you

Such a cute amigurumi, but your tutorial is beyond confusing! How is anyone supposed to understand when you keep saying you're making knots and loops.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the step-by-step instructions. You made this very easy for me. :-)

Thats so cute! About how long did it take you to make one of the cacti?

What size is your crochet hook? BTW I love this video I am definitely doing it over the summer holidays thanks flying mio please reply asap. :-)

Do you have a pattern for these on a blog or something that use technical terms like "single crochet" or "chain stitch?" I'd love to make these but I can't follow the video with the odd stitching explanations.

These are sooooo cute, thanks for sharing!

I love all of your videos your soooooooo amazing!!!!!

So adorable!

This would make a great pin cushion!

This is adorable!!!

MAKE MORE CROCHET VIDS PLEASE. They're so cute!

+Flying Mio I loved this tutorial. What makeup palette did you use to stain your yarn?

Super adorable :) xx where di you get the plant pots from? xxx

+Flying Mio , this video was making me saying AW the whole time! it's TOO CUTE!

knot=stitches needle=hook, needles are for knitting, that is not a needle, it's a hook

I love to crochet! Thanks for the help!

Hi Mio! I love your tutorials on Amigurumi! Do you think you could make a video on the basic rules like how to start a magic ring, a single chain, a increase or decrease? I've tried to follow most of the videos but just can't. I can really follow your instructions well and it would really help me if you could! Thanks :3

So cute!!!!

i think i get it, i think i get it... aaaannnddd i failed. XD super kawaii outcome though. i will definately make a needle felted version of this!! so cute, stay AWESOME!!

This was so cute

This is great thank you very much. Can i just ask how big are the actual pots? im finding it hard to get them in australia thank you xo
