Crochet Totoro Plush Tutorial - Beginner friendly! - Amigurumi

[@lyndagibson9699]

THANK YOU!!! This is perfect timing. My daughter was just telling me recently how Totoro is her most precious memory of childhood so I’m going to make this immediately and surprise her. Excellent video and teaching style. 👏👏

[@FalseBubbles]

Aww I'm so glad! I'm sure she will love it!!!!

[@vysharra]

Thank you! I was able to make my mom such a fun and unique gift because of your WONDERFUL tutorial. It was so low stress and clear to understand, even to an adventurous newbie. I hope you continue making them, it was SO helpful. To anyone interested, I made some arms for mine to hold a leaf umbrella (made of felt and floral wire). Arms - x2 in Body Color 4sc in Magic Circle (4) Inc around (8) (Sc, inc) x 4 (12) Sc around (12) (3sc, inc) x 3 (15) Sc around (15) (3sc, invisible dec) x 3 (12) FO, stuff lightly, pinch flat-ish like the ears, sew to sides as desired I put the top of my version’s arms level with the bottom of the eyes, 3 stitches back.

A little feedback, I’d say maybe put the pattern for each round on the top of the screen or in one of the corners so that people watching can have both the auditory instruction and the visual instruction. Just helps to accommodate people who learn easier with seeing something written down. Overall great pattern tho, super easy ❤

Working in the round. Joining each round. Using a single crochet stitch. I’m actually only doing the ears. For a hat. I’m glad you zoomed in since you didn’t mention that you’re joining, every round

[@FalseBubbles]

It would only be considered working in the round. I am not joining the round.

[@BreeValerie]

The result is amazing. I want to try it out as soon as possible. On another note. I love your tiny cup pin cushion, it's so cute 🥰❤😂

[@iluminameluna]

The way I figured out how to make it easy for me to get the increases right is to start counting on the first stitch of the round as 1, then 2, 3, 4, etc. Then when I'm on the last stitch for that count, say the 3rd stitch, I start the count over in THE SAME STITCH, in this case "3". So I'll be doing the count: 123, (same stitch) 123, (same stitch) 123. So if you started out with a count of 6 stitches in the 1st row, the 2nd row will have 6 pairs of stitches (12 stitches), the 3rd row will have 12 groups of 3 stitches, with 2 stitches in ONE of the doubled up stitches in the previous row, depending on whether you turned your piece or not (in this example, 18 stitches in this 3rd row). Regardless, you should be finishing your round with a stitch in the same stitch as the starting one, creating the last double stitch (increase). There should be no corners or strange shapes formed by this technique, just a round circle. And if you want to form a flat circle, you make these increases depending on the number of the Row you're on. Row 3 should have increases every 3 stitches, Row 4 every 4 stitches, Row 5 every 5 sts, etc. I hope this helps someone who's struggling with increasing to form a flat circle. ❤

[@BarbDLS]

Hi There, so if I want to make a bigger Totoro, do i just double or triple the pattern?

[@FalseBubbles]

The easiest way is to use bigger yarn!!

[@sharonbrown1393]

What size is it when your finished??

[@achyutanair2261]

Can you tell me what is the length of thw yarn used in the project? It will be really helpful. And i LOVED your design, waiting for more ghibli charecter amigurumis!!

What does Mc8 with grey colour mean?? I'm confused

[@samanthaaa262]

if i was to make the big one like you have in the thumbnail what size eyes should i use ?

[@FalseBubbles]

I think I used 12mm eyes. It really depends on the yarn you're using though!!

[@diannebayaburda1578]

What size for the eyes? Is it 6mm?

@@bengsoo1249 it's the same just with chunky yarn!!! 😊

[@krttikakumar5]

Can you please tell me how will I find where did I do an increase stitch ?

[@FalseBubbles]

The stitches look a little different. Take a good look at what your single crochet looks like and then find where you know you have done an increase (usually the last stitch of your increase round). Once you are familiar with your stitches it's easier to identify them

[@tsuishihyeun7694]

can you share with arms? thank you

(talking about the beginning) isnt a single crochet the same as an increase but to do an increase you single crochet twice? So then for the single crochet increase bit do you just mean do three single crochets??

[@FalseBubbles]

It's hard to express commas in videos! Check out the written pattern. I mean single crochet THEN increase. So I say single crochet, increase! It would be over two stitches!

[@Hello___2002.]

Stil cant understand the increase decrease part....

[@carmenpadilla765]

increase is adding two stitches in the same stitch instead of one while decrease is making two stitches into one, so insert your hook on one stitch but don’t close off, so you will have two loops on the hook then insert in the next stitch then you will have three loops on the hook after pull through all three. hope that helps
