🔥 Frequently Asked Questions:
*Do you have a left handed version of this video?* If you are left handed, you can convert ANY video on KZbin yourself! Simply go to www.mirrorthevideo.com/ and follow the instructions to mirror flip any video to convert to left handed!
*How much yarn will I need?* This is a very tricky question to answer as there are so many variables! How much yarn you need will depend on which yarn you choose, the thickness of that yarn, your tension and how large you want your finished project to be. I suggest making a small sample first so you can gauge how much yarn you'll need. If making a crochet square, you can weigh your finished square to work out how much yarn it used!
*How many squares do I need for a blanket?* That all depends on the size of the square you are making and how big you want your finished blanket to be! I always advise making one square first then measuring the size of it. From there you can work out how many squares you will need to get the blanket size you want 😀
*Do you have the written pattern?* Yes! I have written patterns to accompany my video tutorials on my website here: www.hookedbyrobin.com The written pattern is generally released a week or so after the video tutorial to ensure there are no errors in the video itself and to make amendments in the written version if any are found. *All the written patterns are FREE to access on my website*
*How can I print the pattern from your website? Do you have downloadable PDF's?* Not at this time no. This may change in the future but for now, I only provide the written pattern directly on my website.
*Can you remake this video so it is slower?* If the video speed is too fast, you can slow it down! 😀 See this video on exactly how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnq1iqqhoK6Sars
*Why do you use American stitch terminology?* I learnt using USA stitch terms, long before I even knew there was a difference between UK & US terminology! American terms are my "first language" so to speak. If you need a conversion chart, I have one here! www.hookedbyrobin.com/crochet-stitch-conversions

The multicolor yarn makes it much easier to see the different stitches as a beginner. Your tutorials are incredibly helpful thank you!

I could tell hahah, after trying to work it with only a single color strand was COMPLICATED.

[@sandra31079]

Yeah it’s so helpful how you explain every thing next up my amigurumi list is a jellyfish I love the yarn color it’s so beautiful 🧶

[@anniedrews4849]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a beginner (at age 57!) and your tutorial is so easy to follow. The only thing I had made before the jellyfish was a simple pet blanket. I still have to be careful and not lose track of where I am, but my stitches are getting neater. You are a wonderful instructor, and in honor of you calling the jelly "this little chap" in your lovely accent, I named my first one "Chappie"! I used the body from your pattern and curly cue tentacles from another pattern and he looks so cute! Your little star pattern is next on my agenda!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Aww yay! Welcome to the world Chappie! 😀

This is the first time I’m actually confident enough to try these! Your teaching is just the best! I’ve always gotten lost with other tutorials but you did it in a way that I could understand and a pace that didn’t leave me lost. Thank you ❤️

Thank you! I was able to improve my skills making 13 jelly fish for my daughter. On the last day of school, she gave them to her 3 and 4 year old preschool students. They were ecstatic! I used sparkle yarn 🧶, icing on the cake. We made some NYC kids very happy.

[@turalmage]

Without a doubt the best crochet channel I have found on youtube, and I have looked at many. Great voice, patience, camera work and explanations. The fact that you change to another color on some video's to show stitches instead of making an old man squint to see it with black yarn is a nice touch. You should be really proud of your channel, well done!!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

Aw thank you so much! X

[@shaynareynolds771]

This is by far the most easily understandable amigurumi tutorial I've seen thus far. The yarn you used makes it very easy to see the stitches & understand what you're doing - and your voice is so gentle & soothing. I can't wait to try making one of these - except that I should finish my virus blanket first. Plus, I'll want to get my own stuffing rather than raiding my kid's supply of it.

[@bethl.1908]

Just finished making two jellyfish. Thank you for making this easy pattern for us!!! 💕💕

[@craftangel7452]

Hi Robin, Thanks for this tutorial. I've successfully finished my second amigurumi 👏☺️. I didn't have safety eyes so use yarn knots, which has worked very well. I have also attached a crochet loop to the top of the head, so I can use it as a bag charm. 💜💐😊.
