Amigurumi Squid - Full Step-by-Step Crochet Tutorial

[@samill5469]

This was my first time making an amigurui and I learned a lot from this video! I was able to learn magic ring, increase, decrease, slip knot, and how to sew it shut. Thank you for the amazing tutorial! ❤️❤️

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

I'm so glad you were able to learn a lot from my tutorial! I hope you create lots of amigurumi!

[@mirandadione4550]

Love this!! Just made one with an 8mm hook and a super bulky 6 came out amazing, thank you for the pattern!!

[@kenna.-_]

was just going to do that… do you know the measurements of how yours turned out?

[@mirandadione4550]

@@kenna.-_ the body was about eight inches tall and the legs added an extra five or six inches. It sits very nicely on my dresser!

[@ixchelpena204]

Hi! I know you left this comment 3 years ago but I was hoping you would be able to tell me how many yards of yarn you used? I also want to use a size 6 yarn and I don’t know how many skeins/yards I need.

[@Foxglovefaith]

You’ll probably want two just to be safe but you’ll most likely only need one

[@cindydore2968]

I was able to do the squid from Coraline with this video and I never made a doll in crochet before! Thank you! ❤

[@firefly-zr8vj]

Im doing that right now too!

[@multieevee1771]

I tried amigurumi for the first time with this tutorial, and I am a complete beginner at crocheting, but I was able to follow this tutorial perfectly! The time put into the subtitles helped me keep track of where I was, you went slow for people to see exactly what you're doing, and the steps were easy to follow. Took a few hours for me to make because I'm so new at it but I had fun and now I have a little buddy, and I plan to make more for my friends :3

[@pineapplehd6577]

I went through the whole video and now I made my very own squid! Thank you so much!!

[@Birddeh2165]

Just made this with some yarn I had been wanting to get rid of, now I have a perfect little squid!! Loved loved loved this tutorial!! Your instructions were clear, the stitches were in focus, and I appreciated the cleverness of this pattern. Truly a wonderful job!!

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial -- thank you!!!

[@b3llamuerte]

thank you for this video! it's really well thought it and easy to follow. my friend was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and is currently in the hospital as im writing this. i wanted to give them a cute little squid to support them as they recovered, and this is just .perfect. thank you!!!!

[@its_sophh]

I’m making mine for T1D too! I was diagnosed a little over a year ago, and I am going to sell these to fundraise for jdrf!

[@wolfi7917]

This is an awesome pattern and instruction video. I searched so long for a cute squid pattern, that isn't too big. This is just perfect. I love my little squid

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

I'm glad you found a perfect pattern!

[@Reynari-art]

[@sunfl0wer.gal4xy]

[@amandazaiden7822]

Cute! I spent a while looking for a decent squid tutorial and i'm so glad I found this! I made one with rainbow yarn and it came out adorable! Tysm!

[@rubylodico3165]

Loved it! It’s also very useful to read the transcript of the video for anyone needing an overview

[@kuofanchang9679]

[@random_frogg]

Thanks so much. I made the cutest squid and learned a lot during the video. First time doing anything more than a ball and you made it so easy!

[@tabytastick]

I made mine a dark grey with red eyes. Thank you for the guide! :)🦑

[@melindaarden2507]

Thank you for such a very detailed tutorial, super easy to follow. Also hate sewing things so this one piece guy is just perfect.

[@utau361]

Very helpful and really cute design. Clear instructions, and fairly easy to make, thank you very much for sharing this tutorial! :D

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

Thanks so much!

[@missk2462]

i had trouble with my magic circle, but when i got it right it was easy to follow, thank you so much for doing a video for this cute squid!!!

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

You're welcome!!! I hope I can make more soon once I'm all settled and recovered from a recent move.

[@missk2462]

@@PocketSushiCrafts get some real good rest from the move then lol, have a great day/night!

[@ayana1958]

This video is great. It was a pleasure doing crochet with you. Mine came out really cute.. Thank you❤️❤️

[@luusimonetti]

wonderfull!! love the patience, i made a red one with chunky yarn and i added blush under the eyes! super cute, great tutorial

[@gregorylong9181]

I didn’t do mine tight enough so I restarted but very easy to do beacause you explain it step by step. 😆😆😆

[@Nafrapit]

Just finished mine, I changed color for the Ames and fins, very cute

[@ivethpavon8023]

I loved your tutorial! You explained really well. Nice job! Greetings from Mexico :D

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@official_chad1nner380]

I made this with velvet chenille yarn and it turns out extra cute and Fuzzy you definitely should try it

[@teeganmccloy7831]

Great tutorial. Very easy step by step instructions for beginners. I love the squid!!!

[@rats_inhats]

This is a great tutorial and the little squid is so cute :) thanks for it!

[@NinjaHappy]

This help me alot! Great tutorial, Thank you so much ✨

[@mollyblaschke7052]

I'm a little confused on row 8 (the part with sc 22 tsl and chain) Does the 22 sc go into the slip stitch from the previous row or into the chain from the previous row. Same with the TSL. Does that go into the chain from the previous row or the first chain for row 8?

[@yumihimeko3344]

i know this is really late, but i hope you see this since i had a question on the arm part. when you go to finish off the arm with a slip stitch, do you go into the front loop of the next stitch or the stitch that you started the arm in? thanks and this squid is very cute!! ❤️

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

You make the slip stitch in the same front loop you started in. :) (No worries, I usually get an email every time I receive a comment and I always try to reply if I can!) Thank you so much!

[@yumihimeko3344]

Pocket Sushi thank you for clearing it up and a quick reply!! ❤️

[@handcraftlove]

Love it, great tutorial!

[@zucideleong877]

Is it possible to add steps in the corner top of the video? It gets confusing at times when i look back at the video and cant figure out where i was at since there arent any steps to show whay part you're on in the video

[@SaraDott]

I made my squid, yay! Something went wrong and it only has 6 arms, but it still love it.

[@slofi2376]

Time stamps 2:50 start

[@fernandoariasramirez7014]

thanks for this buddy ima do it after i get the materials

[@xxkoumori]

Thanks for the tutorial mate, awesome design. If I could just make one suggestion, it would be to speak up in your next one. Had my laptop at 100 volume and I still couldn't hear you.

[@g0thpuppie]

at 9:43 you say to increase from 20 to 22, but if I repeat the SC4 INC SC5 INC, I get 24?

[@idontknow_3210]

Yeah, well... I don't know but if you do SC9 INC and SC9 INC there you get 22

[@crazy4five]

I made the same mistake becuase he says to repeat but it's not a repeat. It's, 4 single crochet then 1 increase then 9 single crochet ( He says 5 then 4, no increase after the 5 singles) then 1 increase then 4 single crochet, then 1 increase which gives you a total of 22.

[@123-f3g]

@@crazy4five doesn’t that give you 23 ??

[@crazy4five]

@@123-f3g I think it's actually 24? I can't remember but my comment says 4 single + 1 increase counts as 2 single. So that's 6 total, plus 9 singles = 15. One increase=17 +4 single=21 plus an increase=22 but I recounted it & I'm sure you are right about it equalling 23. Now I don't remember if it really was 23 or I made a mistake in my comment & it was 22? Sorry, I also can't math so don't trust me.

[@123-f3g]

@@crazy4five it's all fine! I was just genuinely curious and got confused ! Tysm for clearing that up

[@angelinawang7927]

Great explanation! Is it possible for you to maybe do the time lapse videos like this at some point as well? Either way it's good and continue on as you see fit. Subscribed not to long ago. I personally think the Takoyaki and the Sushi's are the cutest.

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

Thanks! I will get to some of the timelapse ones eventually. It's just easier to do timelapses instead of tutorials, haha!

[@angelinawang7927]

Pocket Sushi Yeah you don't need to explain the steps as it would be to fast to even follow. But you could see the time lapse ones as if they are some kind of preview for future potential tutorials. (Suggestion: Write the simple form of how many stitches you need as a subtitle (2sc in every second stitch or 2sc, sc, repeat and then how many stitches there should be at the end). It would be easier to remember as they would only need to look at the subtitles in case they forgot .)

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

Quite true! Unfortunately I sell the patterns in written form, so I don't feel comfortable writing the shorthand in the subtitles.

[@rayofeffingsunshine609]

Well done! Thank you!

[@madisonshelton6579]

For anyone who’s made one, how long has it taken you! Excited to make mine!

[@b3llamuerte]

maybe like an hour!! i crochet a little quickly but it doesn't take too long!! 1:30 maybe

[@b3llamuerte]

(i meant 1:30 as an hour and 30 minutes, haha)

[@bunnny1315]

I’ve made this squid twice now and I keep running out of room for all the arms. I wonder if I’m adding to many slip stitches in between? Or maybe I’m skipping stitches because I’ve only being doing 2 slip stitches in between the arms.

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

It should only be one slip stitch between each arm! The second slip stitch is the beginning of the arm and the entire arm is built upon that same loop. I hope that makes sense!

[@Mingaile.lukosiute]

Would I be able to increase the number of stitches to make a bigger squid ?

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

You could. I don't have any precise numbers to give you, though. You can also try using thicker yarn, too!

[@Mingaile.lukosiute]

Thank you ! I was wanting to make something like a large plush and loved the design so much and since I'm very new to the hobby was unsure about if I could size up the project ! Thank you very much !💖💖

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

@@Mingaile.lukosiute No problem! Thank you for enjoying my work! If you have other questions, let me know.

[@sandy1119tps]

Thank you for the video I made a plushie for my kid

[@natashahaines3134]

I had good fun doing this tutorial, somehow I only ended up with enough room for 4 arms and 2 tentacles! But practice hopefully will make perfect

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

Yes, practice helps a lot! It can be a bit difficult to read the front/back loops at first, which might have been the issue?

[@moamallorca3290]

Que chulo!!!

[@jamiecrucefix4078]

please show more zoomed in images of where your poking your hook please

[@lucaslover2077]

2:50 take it

[@kenna.-_]

How many yards do you need to use? or grams,

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

I'm not sure, actually! A typical skein I use is worsted (#4)/170 g and I can make about 6 - 8 squids with one. I would have to unravel a squid to be sure.

[@Luna_mystikaGG]

What fantastic idea💚🥰😍👍🤩

[@ozaddyo9130]

thanks so much! i got to make a cute white one. not perfect but almost as good as yours! XD

[@miraseawaterwitch4783]

Thank you so much :)

[@chanelhall8055]

How do u make the squid a little bigger

[@ginabeana3469]

i’m super late but if you’re still interested you could use bigger yarn and a bigger hook

[@Simply_Delaney]

Mines so cute thanks

[@HaLe-xn8bw]

please guide me how to crochet with Vietnamese subtitles. Thank you very much

[@zucideleong877]

What did i do wrong if i couldnt fit anymore legs on?

[@PocketSushiCrafts]

The body needs to be 20 stitches around before adding any legs. Without a photo my guess is that you might have skipped some of the front loops? You can email or tweet me a pic if you need more help!

[@TheRealHBC]

i had the same problem and what it was is that i was making the next slip stitch after a leg into the front loop on the next stitch, when i should have been doing the slip stitch in the same stitch that the chain for the leg started in. its only one extra stitch per leg but with eight legs and two tentacles, thats ten stitches i was losing. he says it very briefly in the video just once after he makes the first leg

[@jamiecrucefix4078]

I thought I was a step above beginner but i can't get through first step. can't find a good tutorial of the magic ring.
