Abbreviations and Stitches Used: BLO Bo Ch Dc Dec FLO Hdc Inc Inv dec Magic Ring R Row Sc Sk Sl St St(s) Tr Back loops only Bobble Chain Double crochet Decrease Front loops only Half double crochet Increase (2 sc in the next stitch) Invisible decrease Round Single crochet Skip Slip Stitch Stitch(es) Triple Crochet * Repeat the directions in between * and * as many times as stated. ( ) The number inside will indicate how many stitches you should have at the end of each round. Invisible Decrease: 1. Insert the hook into the FRONT loops only of the next 2 stitches. There will be 3 loops on your hook. 2. Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (the front 2 loops). 2 loops will remain on hook. 3. Yarn over again and pull through the 2 remaining loops. 1 loop will remain on hook. Regular Decrease: A couple patterns use this technique for decreasing. Mainly when working flat pieces and not in the round. 1. Insert the hook into the next stitch and yarn over. There will be 2 loops on your hook. 2. Inset the hook into the next stitch and yarn over again. This time there will be 3 loops on your hook. 3. Yarn over for the last time and pull through all 3 loops. 1 loop will remain on your hook. Bobble Stitch: 1. Yarn over, insert hook into st, yarn over again and pull through. 3 loops will be on hook. Yarn over and pull through 2. 2 loops will remain on hook. 2. Yarn over, insert hook into same st, yarn over and pull through. 4 loops on hook. Yarn over pull through 2. 3 loops will remain on hook. 3. Repeat 3 more times until you have 6 loops left on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all 6.
Pattern Notes and Helpful Tips: Cleaner Color Changing Technique: 1. When working the last stitch of the old color, do the last single crochet, stopping when you have 2 loops left on the hook. 2. Use the new color to yarn over and pull through the 2 loops to complete the stitch. 3. Slip stitch into the next stitch with the new color. The slip stitch counts as a stitch! 4. Continue to crochet with the new color. Make sure to secure the ends. Adding a mouth: Thread your embroidery needle with a medium length of embroidery floss, tie a knot on one end. 1. Bring the needle from the inside of the piece to the outside, near the safety eye on your left. 2. Go across to the right side and insert the needle into the piece. Be sure to not pull the thread all the way through. 3. Hold the thread in a smile shape. Bring the needle up into the center of the mouth, making sure to go one row down. 4. Pull thread down to create a “V” shape. 5. Insert the needle back into the piece, close to where it came out in Step 3. 6. Pull thread through to the inside of the piece and tie a knot to secure floss. Adding eyelashes: 1. Thread your embroidery needle with a medium length of embroidery floss, tie a knot on one end. 2. Bring the needle from the inside of the piece to the outside, making sure your needle is as close to the safety eye as possible. 3. Insert the needle back into the piece, making the lash as long as you’d like. 4. Bring the needle to the outside again and repeat Step 2 until you have made all the lashes you want. 5. To finish, bring the needle to the inside of the piece and make a knot to secure floss. Closing pieces: With a yarn needle, weave needle through the front loops only of the remaining stitches, working from the center to the outside. Once you have reached the end, pull the tail and the hole will close up. Insert the needle into the center of hole, pull through and tie off. Using hot glue: The trick for using hot glue on the details for the minis is to go slow and add a very small amount at a time. Adding too much then pressing the two pieces together causes the glue to come out the sides. If there is only a little bit added, no glue will show. Here are some notes and tips to help along the way as you create your amigurumi!
