Good to know (useful tips about crocheting amigurumi)
1: Magic ring is the best way to start crocheting your amigurumi which leaves no hole in the middle & gives you a very neat finish that you will love and appreciate.
2: Always leave the yarn tails a bit longer to sew the parts together.
3: Any size hook with a correspondingly sized yarn can be used to crochet amigurumi. Though the most common combination is aran / worsted yarn and 3.50mm hook.
You may now say that the label on your yarn suggests that you should you use 5.00mm hook with your aran yarn. In order to crochet a nice and neat amigurumi you need to use at least one size smaller hook than your yarn suggests. With a smaller hook you can crochet your amigurumi tightly, so the stuffing won’t show through. If you are crocheting way too tight I suggest that you may use either 4.00mm or 4.25mm hook with your aran yarn instead of 5.00mm hook.
4: Although some amigurumi patterns are worked with single crochet & in joined rounds which you do not need to use a stitch marker, most amigurumi patterns are worked with single crochet & in continuous / spiral rounds which you need to use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
5: A small pair sharp pointed scissors is the best scissors to have when crocheting amigurumi to cut / snip the yarns and trim the ends.

6: You’ll need a blunt-tipped yarn needle to weave in yarn ends & stitch the parts / pieces together.
7: Pins always come in handy keeping the parts / pieces in place while you are sewing them together.
8: Acrylic is the most popular yarn to make amigurumi. Having said that if you choose the cheapest acrylic yarns they can be very scratchy & rough to work with and the toy will not be very pleasant to touch. I prefer soft premium acrylic yarns which are pleasure to crochet with & the finished toy turns out nice, smooth & soft. The premium acrylic yarns are inexpensive, plus machine washable & they don’t stretch. On top of everything acrylic yarns are available in a wide variety of colours.

However, you may choose to work with wool, but I must say that wool yarns can be scratchy to work with, they may be stretched and also expensive. Another thing with wool is that some people are allergic to it.
As for cotton, I must admit that you do get very clearly defined stitches with cotton, but be careful when you’re choosing your cotton yarn. Lightly twisted cotton yarns with 100% combed cotton fibres are perfect to crochet pleasant to touch amigurumi toys with, whereas the tightly twisted cotton yarns are very good to crochet durable baskets with.
9: I prefer to use super soft polyester fibrefill for my amigurumi projects, as it’s lightweight, bouncy, washable, long lasting and it does give your amigurumi a nice & smooth finish with no lumps at all.
10: If I am not crocheting or embroidering the eyes I do prefer to use safety eyes as they lock into place with a backing washer.
11: Invisible decrease is the best way to crochet your decreases as it leaves a less visible bump in the crocheted fabric. You will be doing a lot of increasing & decreasing when crocheting amigurumi. I’ve done my best to explain them both below as simple as possible.
Invisible decrease: Insert the hook into the **front loop** of the first stitch (2 loops on hook). **Do NOT yarn over**Insert the hook into the **front loop** of the next stitch. In order to do this, you’ll need to swing the hook down first so you can insert the hook under the front loop. (3 loops on hook)
Yarn over & draw through the first two loops on the hook. (2 loops on hook)
Yarn over & draw through both loops on the hook. You’ve done your invisible decrease.
Increase: Two single crochet into one stitch.
12: To conclude good to know section I would like to tell you how to read my patterns with a simple example. 3 sc, *2 sc, inc* rep 6 times, 3 sc

Single crochet in each of next 3 stitches, *single crochet in each of next 2 stitches, increase* repeat 6 times, single crochet in each of next 3 stitches.
Only repeat what is written between the two stars. In this case it’s *2 sc, inc *

**Important Please Read Before Start Crocheting**
Although 3.50mm hook is the most common size to be used while crocheting amigurumi with an aran / worsted weight yarn, having tried them both 3.00mm & 3.50mm I’ve decided to use 3.00mm hook in my amigurumi projects as I like the look of the stitches more. Plus I feel more comfortable crocheting with 3.00mm than 3.50mm hook.
I suggest that you try them both 3.00mm, 3.50mm to find out which size you are most comfortable crocheting your amigurumi with. If you think 3.50mm is too small for you then try 4.00mm or 4.25 mm to see which one is best for you.

As you can see in the photos above, I’ve inserted the eyes, filled the head firmly, and embroidered the mouth & the eye lashes.
I’ve used DMC cotton perle black colour embroidery thread, shade number: 310 and thickness number is 3. I’ve used this thread only because this is what I have in my craft box. You can use any kind of embroidery thread or even floss would do the same job.
While you are embroidering the facial parts, insert the needle inside from the open bottom, leave a couple of inches / 5 cm long cotton thread tail dangling, once you’ve finished embroidering the facial parts bring the needle out from the open bottom, and make two knots to secure the cotton thread.
You’ll need to use 5 holes to embroider the nose, and come down into the 5th hole to embroider the mouth, and 4 holes to embroider each eye lashes.
