Glad it's not just me confused by rnd 3! ☺ And knowing that the stitches will be similar in all the patterns is great. I'm making the poisoned apple! ☺ A good simple start before I make philippe the gargoyle! Thank you! These videos are great so straight forward and clear.
This is a life saver, have your imaginarium book and have been crocheting and taking apart for days because I was so confused by the round 3 bit. Thank you so much!
you stich so quickly, I have no idea what you are doing it all looks identical and using the small yarn in your elephant is a nightmare to see where you put the needle. you say it all too quickly and stitch too quickly.
You really need a better explanation on how to read your patterns in your book! Thankfully I’ve found this video and now have a better idea of the third round and rounds going forward. But there’s no way of understanding this from the brief explanation in your vegetable book. I’ve been trying again and again for weeks and I just could not make sense of the math and how it’s written, I got so frustrated! 😩 Just needs a quick explanation of what ‘dc2’ means - as you say not dc2 into 1 stich but dc1 into the next 2. And then maybe a clarification sentence for the comma being the next separate command. It may seem so obvious to experienced crocheters but to a novice trying to explore more exciting things and with every pattern being slightly different and a lot of pattern help videos and articles being US crochet it can feel a bit overwhelming. I’m so glad that I can finally get further into completing my first ‘Practice Potato’ 😅
Learning the difference between the stitches is difficult enough......Im trying to make the cute little sardines out of the Ocean animal book I'm assuming its in us terms cuz it has sc in it but the number of stitches does not add up and do you join and turn in the beginning plus is it a magic ring your start with???? Have only done us patterns thx a bunch

Hello! I am currently working on Jessie the Racoon and I do not seem to be following the pattern for the head correctly. For example, in round 14 it says "...2dc in medium color, 2 dc, dc2tog....". I understand the double-crochet and double-crochet 2 together. However, why doesn't it say "...4dc in medium color, dc2tog..."? Does this mean that after medium color, I go back to the previous color, even though it doesn't explicitly say this?
i’m working on rosie the dachshund and the pattern is sc2 fudge, sc3, sc2tog, sc5, sc2tog, sc1, black, sc1. at which stitch should i change colour? is it after the fudge or right before the black?
Hello, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sEwCRa1FF-o.htmlsi=b8pz5XiORzKr-5Ls ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sEwCRa1FF-o.htmlsi=tISReqUoP_fVTuBa I’ve linked our basic and advanced colour change tutorials above. The colour used is listed after the instruction, so all but the final sc1 is in Black as you have written. You do need to ‘set up’ the colour change in the last stitch of Black however by finishing the stitch in Fudge as shown in the videos. I hope the videos help you finish your Rosie. 💕
Hi dear Kerry Lord, I admit having been a bit too ambitous perhaps and having started my first ever amigurumi with Jazz the Schnauzer, plus I live in Belgium and my book is in French, but since am not a total crochet beginner, thought I'll give it a try! So here comes my question, For the loop stiches of the eyebrows (involving loop stiches and colour change between grey and white) Rnd 13 I'm confused as to how many loop stiches actually are there for the eyebrows in white, since in this round it says dc5 white, dc4 grey, dc5 white… and loop stich white every 2 stiches..seems there won't be enough hair on the brows, compared to the photo?
Hi Karineh, Thanks for commenting. For his eyebrows you could always do a loop for every Cream stitch to give him that extra bushy brow! The loops will also be cut at the end so this will create more yarn strands on his brows. You can always add some extra Cream as small tassels once he is sewn up. If you ever have any queries on a specific pattern you can always email us directly at help@toftuk.com for some advice. You can also send us a photo of your project in your email so we can give you help on specific stitches and pattern work. Best wishes :)
hi i have one of your books and for the body part it says do the increase but my circle never seems to be flat when i do the first 3 rounds what am i doing wrong im doing emma the bunny
Working standard body and don't understand round 13! Dc30, (dc4, dc2tog) 3 times. Does this mean I am doing the bracketed instruction first and then just double crochet 30 times?! Or other way round. Stuck! Lol
Hi Dolly, thanks for getting in touch. For Round 13, you'll put one double crochet into the next 30 stitches, and then complete the instructions in the brackets 3 times. Best wishes.
@@TOFT_uk thank you I was stuck here LoL. Am not a beginner LoL. I have a few of the patterns and seems the body stays the same on all. So I hope not to get stuck again :)
Hello, That is the asymmetrical round that shapes the tummy of your animal. You need to double crochet 13, then complete the repeat dc4, dc2tog (3 times in a row). Then dc17 to get to the end of the round. I hope that makes sense! If you need any further help then feel free to chat with us via email help@toftuk.com
Hi Eva, Thanks for getting in touch. If you email our Customer Service team on help@toftuk.com to let us know the animal your are working on we’ll be happy to help. We also have a colour change video and a decreasing stitches video, which might be helpful to you: www.toftuk.com/Article_Pages_Dc2INTONEXTSTITCHhowtoincrease.aspx www.toftuk.com/Article_Pages_ColourChangingCrochetVideo.aspx
Hello, what pattern are you using? Round 13 is a shaping round used to give the standard animals their signature shape. You need to crochet the number of stitches states (it could be 30 - meaning 1 stitch into the next 30 stitches) then repeat the bracketed instructions as many times as stated. The decreases will sit above the belly and the double crochet stitches round the back. I hope that helps! If you need more specific help relating to a pattern then please get in touch with us via help@toftuk.com ❤️
Hi Louise, thank you for your comment. 3 rnds (rounds) means you need to do British double crochet stitches (1 into each stitch) for 3 rounds (3 times past your stitch marker). This means your piece can get taller without getting wider or increasing the stitch count. Please get in touch with help@toftuk.com if you need any more help with your pattern. Best wishes.
Hello, I am sorry to hear that. If you are struggling with getting started on a pattern or project them please get in touch with us via help@toftuk.com so we can send you some step by steps and guide you through it. Best wishes.
@@TOFT_uk Ideally, provide a video for each beginner pattern that takes the project from start to finish and shows the learner both the printed or postcard pattern instructions and the stitching. (Perhaps these exist? if so let me know where to find please!) There are eleven "getting started" videos alone, and then 4 "complete beginner" videos. . It isn't clear of these go in any kind of a sequence so I have begun to watch them somewhat randomly. Have put in quite a bit of time and haven't crocheted a single stitch. Will probably give up!
@@feygelejacobs1035 Hello, these videos are to accompany our books, kits and patterns, which reference (or directly link from digital pdf patterns). They can be used separately and are free to view, but we would recommend following one of our patterns with these for extra help rather than just following them alone. I hope this makes sense. Kind regards 💕
That is the most asinine way to write Rnd 3, and the fact that you have so many people here in your comments saying they were confused by the pattern should tell you that you need to find a better, more clearly comprehensible way to write out that part of the pattern.
