I've made about a hundred granny squares in the past week and my muscle memory was really fighting the single crochet. Regardless, this was very easy to follow, thanks!

That was my struggle as well. I can read a knitting pattern both written and charted, but this was eluding me!!

[@Nurse3811]

I agree, so helpful. I have just learned crochet through the wonder of left handed KZbinrs ( or those who somehow mirror their right handed videos Thru the wonder of technology ). I found reading written instructions to be like greek. What a wonderful teacher she is!

[@gal78smile]

Apparently I did the hole thing backwards! When you show how to crochet into the front loop only you are working the “front” of the circle somehow I’ve been working the back the whole time. How can I decrease in this direction? 😅😭 EDIT: when turning the circle inward I went the wrong way! Problem solved! I didn’t delete this comment just in case this helps someone else!

[@contemporaryenglishversion4621]

I literally cannot express how proud I am to have completed this, it took me about a week because I kept messing up but omg I am so glad I stuck through it. To anyone struggling like I was and feeling let down that other (way more experienced people) were able to do this first try, you've just gotta keep going and then once day we'll be as good as everyone else

I have been trying and failing amigurumi for about eight months. I can’t even tell you how proud I am holding this little ball in my hand! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 🥳

[@soandysirable]

i totally made an oblong instead of a sphere because i kept miscounting my stitches 😅 but i'm just proud to have learned the concepts in this tutorial, such as reading patterns and the decreases and the like!!! thank you again for your amazing crochet videos!!!! yours are the simplest easiest and down-to-the-point-est of all the tutorials out there!

[@sabro7472]

THIS IS MY THE BIGGEET PROBLEM. i keep miscounting my stitches - i can even say it outloud, like, "3, 3, 3, 3", then focus for a moment and then im like 'wait. which is it now? uhmmmm, 2?'

[@siliconsulfide8]

@@sabro7472 Maybe you could write them down? Write which row/round you are currently doing and draw a line, mark a stitch off (as in, writing the pattern down as 'sc sc sc inc' instead of '3sc inc' and then crossing them out one by one) or whatever works for you after every stitch? Theoretically you could still forget to mark them off, but perhaps it might help!

My first time crocheting since I was a kid and oh my god you made this so easy! Thank you thank you it’s easy to get discouraged when trying a new hobby but your tutorial was perfect and i finished mine in less than a day😘💞

[@RellekEarth]

I am 100% sure I miscounted (Didn't use a stitch marker so that's what I get) but I successfully made a "mostly" circular amigurumi! My first actual project, success!

[@siliconsulfide8]

I am currently using a written down pattern for this, and that allows me to mark off stitches as I go, even offline! It also helps if I decide to stop before completing a round/row, so that I know exactly how many are left ;) Might not work for everyone, though! Like if you think you might forget to mark them as done or miscount anyway (maybe you could start saying, out loud or in your head, which stitch are you doing once you put your hook in, and then finishing the word once you finish the stitch? As in, "fi...ve, si...x, se...ven") A newbie here, but maybe something from this comment could help whoever is reading this!

[@eliseb1819]

After 6 years of crocheting and 2 years of amigurumi I’ve found out I’ve been doing it wrong. I was crocheting all my amigurumis from the inside. So my needle was on the inside of the ball. Just found out yesterday that it’s supposed to be on the outside! Going to try to re-learn myself to crochet the “right” way. It will be tough but I’ll try!😅

[@rachelmack1714]

Hey! Question, I’m having the same issue, do you have to put the ball inside out at some point? I noticed in the video she was going counter clockwise and then switched to clockwise without saying anything

[@MandylynJaye]

This is how Ive been doing it too, I'm just learning but I noticed the inside looked so much cuter than the outside... but I don't understand how to change the way I'm doing it?? Coming from the magic circle it just seems like the way I'm doing it is the only way that makes sense? I need help!!

[@Mspuffs1996]

I was so confused the first 10 times I watched this and kept messing up but then I realized I wasn’t supposed to increase them all. I’m a beginner and this helped me make my first amigurumi and understand patterns. Thank you so much!

[@ghouligan3045]

It's funny that when I started I already did all of these. Except I only went back to learn how to do a proper amigurumi to see if I've been doing it wrong. But I did learn invisible decrease. So that's a big help! I'm glad I've been doing crocheting properly since I started with even properly knowing. I just experimented and see what worked.

Now I will be able to read patterns and make balls.

[@relaxingasmrsofita6735]

[@souci1295]

A single stitch is one stitch, the little v shaped pattern on the top is a good indicator of what you’re looking for, when you increase you make multiple single stitches through one of your prior stitches to create more single stitches for you to work off of Sorry if this is a bad explanation, I’m pretty new myself and is what I’ve gathered from the video

[@robinanna5531]

Increasing is putting two (or more) stitches into the same stitch on the previous row. That's how in this pattern row one has 6 stitches but row two has 12 stitches. Because you put two single crochets into each stitch you made in the row before.

[@geebygeeb9940]

This was so helpful! At first, I looked at the video length and decided I was too impatient. So I quickly googled how to make the types of stitches and used a pattern on a website. Well, I decided to come back here and now I realized that I made a lot of mistakes on my ball. It still looks pretty good but I know why it's so lumpy now.

[@andersontran172]

Hello! I just finished my ball and I was wondering how I can make a bigger ball with a altered version of the pattern.

[@olliehollycrochet]

Hi! To make a bigger ball, you'll have to work more increase rounds to make the initial circle bigger. Each increase round should be an additional 6 sts. You'll also have to work more side building rounds (the rounds where you just work one sc into each st) and play around with the shape that way. Hope this helps!

[@SaintTrinianz]

Hold on to the bottom of the magic circle to create tension and gain control until you've got a couple stitches secured. If you're new to crochet, you may need to master controlling the yarn with one hand and the hook with the other. The yarn is usually woven across the fingers to create a bit of tension but not too much. The yarn hand needs to be relaxed, allowing the yarn to move easily through the fingers. Find an experienced friend who can coach you through the basics. Don't give up. You'll be churning out amigurumi cuties in no time...

This video was very good pointing out the difference between Amigurumi crocheting in the round verse basic crocheting in the round. It's a spiral verses concentric circles. Thanks

Not sure how i did it but i did it backwards somehow? I was doing my stitches from the inside until i noticed but by then it was too late,it turned out somehow though

This would totally be something I would do. I knit but every time I think I want to crochet, I feel like I have to relearn from the beginning!

[@bribro23]

@@apboycedo you think crocheting is harder or both are their own difficulty

Been trying for years to learn how to crochet. This is by far the best tutorial I've come across. It'll live forever in my heart as my first crochet project I have ever completed. Thank you.

Thank you for this video I just finished following along after picking up a crochet hook for the first time ever, my results are very rudimentary but it’s given me the confidence boost to continue and improve, can’t wait to start stuffing and creating characters 💞

is anyone else struggling really bad?!

[@tammyragusa5422]

I DID IT!!! I was so afraid to try,even though I wanted to, Andi watched a half dozen tutorials, but yours looked like the best for me. IT WAS!!!! I made a ball!😂😂😂 Excited to try something else! ❤

Thank you so much! I started to crochet back in October where I just practiced different stitches and made granny squares. For Christmas I got some more yarn and hooks so I wanted to try something new. This video is so clear and my ball turned out perfectly. This is such an easy tutorial :)

I've literally only crocheted squares and rectangles, but this worked and didn't take too long to figure out! Thank you so much for this video!
