How To: Join Rounds in Amigurumi Crochet || Tutorial by Sweet Softies

[@aesthera.]

Thank you!! My first project didn't include any slip stitch joins and I was so confused when my book mentioned them! This was so helpful, thank you!

[@SweetSofties]

Glad this was helpful!!

[@leslieroberts4767]

thanks for compating the coil mthod vs the join method. now i knowthat seam was normal andnot my mistake! now i can choose which technique i want to use in my current and future projects! please let new folksknow an increase means 2 stitches into same space.

[@SweetSofties]

That's helpful feedback and I appreciate you leaving a comment! Yes, it's a stylistic preference and some like to join rounds for even rounds, and others like working in a continuous spiral for a seamless look! Happy that this video helped you decide on a technique! :)

Love that you do both Amigurumi and Crochet. Your Hooded Timber Wolf Scarf is so cute. Can't wait to try your patterns. :)

[@SweetSofties]

Sakurakuro aww thanks!! Hope you’ll have lots of fun crocheting my designs! I definitely enjoyed the hooded timber wolf scarf because it works up quickly with the furry yarn and big hook, plus it’s so warm to wear!!

[@traceybell4511]

Thank you. I came across this video whilst looking for something on crochet gauge and I am soooo glad I did. This has helped me so much. Now i am going to look at your patterns on Etsy x

I’m so happy to have stumbled upon this vid!! I had recently bought one of your patterns on Etsy and was worried if I was doing it right or not, and this video really helps!! ^.^

[@SweetSofties]

I'm so glad this helps! And thanks for supporting my small business, I really appreciate it!

[@Prambelina]

You explained this so well, thank you so much!

[@SweetSofties]

You're so welcome!

[@mariarella6279]

This is so helpful! Thank you! I've been struggling with rounds of amigirumi!

[@SweetSofties]

I'm so glad to hear that my video was helpful! Thank you for the kind feedback!

[@sicksquid]

never seen that magic ring method before! i might try it

[@Sophie-gn8jw]

Hello, love the video, many thanks but I do have a question, if a pattern says I have to join the rounds can I work continuous rounds instead, and if I do do I have to change anything?

[@SweetSofties]

You can choose to work in continuous rounds; simply ignore the beginning "ch 1" and the "join with a sl st" at the end! :)

[@Sophie-gn8jw]

@@SweetSofties thank you so much! 💞

[@dianamajlinger3211]

Hello! At which step do you introduce the new colour? The slip stitch or the ch1? Thank you :)

[@SweetSofties]

Hi! When you're going to YO for the slip stitch to join, switch to the new color and then pull that new color through for finishing the sl st. Then, proceed with the ch 1 and sc around. Hope this helps!

[@Nana-19]

I like your videos thanks for everything Could you tell me please the name of the color you’re using in this video please???? Please!!!

[@SweetSofties]

Thank you for the kind comment! And yes, absolutely -- I have the yarn color/brand in this post here: www.sweetsofties.com/2018/03/best-yarn-for-peach-colored-skin-on.html It's my favorite to use for my amigurumi doll skin!

[@Nana-19]

Sweet Softies thanks for reply me and good luck whit all your future projects

[@SweetSofties]

@@Nana-19 Of course, and thank you! Good luck with all your future projects as well! :)

[@char8059]

@@SweetSofties Thank you for the information regarding the yarn used for the peachy skin tone in your Amigurumi. Caron Simply Soft is a beautiful yarn with a lovely sheen. And very soft, too!

[@alidathomas1341]

Can you do continuous rounds but a new round for only color changes?

[@SweetSofties]

Yes, you may do continuous rounds instead! It's a style preference, so it's really up to you!

[@isachen3]

Hey! I’m trying to do the sl st and chain at the end of the round and I’m starting back in the same stitch I slip stitched in, but I feel like there are added stitches?

[@SweetSofties]

Hi, after you make a ch, you will insert the first sc into the same st you chained from. When you reach the end of the round (counting is important), sl st into the first sc... NOT the chain. Then, make another chain and continue the next round by inserting your first sc into the same st as where you chained from. Hope this helps!

[@isachen3]

@@SweetSofties thank you!!

[@kayrose1116]

@@SweetSoftiesyou should’ve mentioned this in the video because this is the number one thing that was confusing me and why i looked up this video in the first place… only one pattern specified to do your next stitch in the first stitch you chained from and i was very confused why i was dropping stitches by slipping and chaining one. i wasn’t crocheting into that one again.

[@kayrose1116]

not your patterns, just all patterns i’ve read besides one so far. they just assume you know but they’re beginner patterns so not very nice

[@acrmuniznit]

I don't understand how you do it like your dolls hands

[@SweetSofties]

Hi! If you're referring to how I do my dolls' arms, such as with the Baby Bean Doll (www.sweetsofties.com/2019/09/baby-bean-doll.html), I use the i-cord method. I have a video tutorial of the i-cord here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXzFppZsa8yYbbs

[@barbararubio6826]

Im a beginner, 😞 it’s hard!

[@SweetSofties]

Sorry to hear that!! :( Is there a specific part you're confused about?

[@bgexclusive6769]

Lol it took you almost the entire video to show us you actually have to go into the same stick you did the chain 1. Probably the most important part 🤦‍♂️

[@s.l.3281]

Terrifying-looking doll.

[@mariana336]

Very useful, but the accent is annoying af

[@LawnOrnament]

This comment and the attitude that propels it is annoying as fuck. Do better.

[@mariana336]

@@LawnOrnament you don't know me or my attitude 🙃 I'm Mexican and have an accent, I just hated the super fake accent she pretends to have, as well as the as the annoying tone of voice, cringe... So go ahead and follow your own advice

[@SweetSofties]

@@mariana336 Hi, I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not trying to use an accent -- I speak with a pretty typical American accent, which is where I'm from. My tone of voice is just how I speak -- I tend to have intonation rather than be monotone, because I'm actually a speech therapist by day. Sorry you feel this way about how I talk.

[@laktoez111]

stfu someone's voice and accent should be least of your worries.
