Stitches for Amigurumi

Stitches for Amigurumi

Below are all the stitches you need to make your Amigurumi dolls and animals. In the next post I will show you how to make a Magic Ring. I hope it helps you like it helped me ;)

Chain (ch): Make a slipknot and place it on the hook. Yarn over hook, draw the yarn through the slip knot, letting the slip knot slide off the hook.

Slip Stitch (sl st): A slip stitich is used to move across one or more stitches. Insert hook into the stitch, yarn over hook, and pull through both stitches at once.

Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook into the chain or stitch indicated, yarn over hook, and pull through the chain or stitch (two loops remain on hook)

Yarn over hook and pull through the remaining two loops on hook

Single Crochet Increase (sc2 in one sc): Work two single crochet stitches into the same stitch

Single Crochet Decrease (sc 2 tog): Insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over hook, pull up a loop. Insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over hook, pull up a loop. Yarn over hook and pull through all three loops on hook.

Half Double Crochet (hdc): Yarn over hook, insert hook into chain or stitch indicated. Yarn over hook and pull through the stitch (three loops remain on hook)

Yarn over hook and pull through the three loops on hook.

Double Crochet (dc): Yarn over hook, insert hook into chain or stitch indicated. Yarn over hook and pull through the stitch (three loops remain on hook); yarn over hook and pull through two loops on hook (two loops remain on hook)

Yarn over hook and pull through the remaining two loops on hook

Triple Crochet (tr): Yarn over hook twice, insert hook into chain or stitch indicated. Yarn over hook and pull through the stitch (four loops on hook); yarn over hook and pull through two loops on the hook (three loops remain on hook)

Yarn over hook and pull through two loops on hook, do this twice

Working in Loops: The majority of the stitches are worked in both loops of the stitches from the previous row. There are a few projects where you will work a row into the back loop or the front loop of the stitch
