How to Avoid Large Gaps in Amigurumi

[@AieshaTheArtist]

Thank you so so soooo much for this! I’ve just started making amigurumi & I’d been weaving in ends to help fill in the gaps. Can’t wait to try this out.

Thank you so much for this. I wish I had known about this before I crocheted several peeps. But, it’s never too late to learn. 😊

You're welcome, Leo! Glad to hear you appreciate it!

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!! I'm making some giant amigurumi teddies and the holes are huge, needed a solution.

[@crochetarcade]

Aww, great to hear the video came in handy for you, Hoddi!

Thank you! I look forward to trying this method.

Thank you ❤️😊☺️. You saved my day.... No more Gaps.

[@LearnandPlayEveryday]

What about when there a gap caused by increased stitch? Whenever I put 2 stitches in one stitch I get a gap as well.

Just use smaller hook, it usually helps)

[@anitadeclerck6000]

When increasing, I use the front loop.

Thank you for sharing. How do I avoid large holes when increasing?😊

[@anitadeclerck6000]

Use only the front loop when increasing.

Invisible sc decrese is better and easier.

[@crochetarcade]

Thanks for your comment. I can't agree with that, sorry. Invisible decrease only works well if it's done at least every 2-3 normal stitches. Do a test and try making 3 invisible decreases in a row next to each other, then in another row try to make another 2 invisible decreases on top of the decreases from the row below and you'll see what I mean. I can tell you know you'll have a net with holes that will be bigger than with standard decrease. The invisible decrease would certainly not work in the situation shown on the cover photo of this video. I actually found a way now to modify the invisible decrease method so it will actually work in this situation too. Will share the video soon. Have a lovely day!

[@lisan6309]

I make an invisible decrease with using 2 loops of the second stitch instead of 1

[@mariamercedes6774]

@@lisan6309 so you pull the front loop of the 1st stitch and then the 2 loops of the second?

[@wolfpup6496]

Hi can you explain your method that works with the invisible decrease? I can’t find a video about that
