Stop crocheting with Color#1 right before the last loop is pulled through.
Then, put Color#2 on the hook, and use Color#2 to pull through the last two
loops on the hook
5. Use an invisible decrease
Instead of inserting your crochet hook all the way through two stitches twice,
insert your crochet hook through the front loop only of the two stitches you
would like to join together. Then complete your stitch as per normal.

6. Stuff enough
My advice for creating amigurumi is to stuff your toy tightly, using as much
stuffing as possible. However, if you notice that your crochet stitches are
stretching,
stretchin g, start removing small pieces of stuffing one by one. The goal is to
stuff your amigurumi
amigurumi piece full enough so it holds its shape, but not so much
that the stitches begin to stretch.
7. Do not join every round
In order to keep your amigurumi as professional-looking as possible, DO NOT
joining at the
the end of eac
each
h round. Joinin
Joining
g creates a visible line that can be
seen. Instead, work continuously without joining and keep track of your rows
using stitch markers or running stitch markers.
8. Use pins before sewing amigurumi parts together

In my toys, I use an X-shaped stitch. Let me tell you about two interesting
methods for making single crochets.

The first method, which is called the " V-shape stitch," goes as follows:
insert your hook into a stitch, yarn over
over,, pull through, yarn over
over,, pull
through both loops. The result is a beautiful V-shape stitch.

The second method, which Is referred to as the " X-shape stitch," is a bit
unconventional. Insert your hook into a stitch, yarn under,
under, pull through,
yarn over,
over, pull through both loops. And voila, you'll have a lovely X-shape
X -shape
stitch!

The difference between these two methods lies in the first yarn over. In
the X-shape stitch method, the first yarn over is done from below
below,, not
from above like in the V-shape stitch method

You may n
notice
otice that the X-shape stitch method creates slightly more
compact and smaller loops compared to the V-shape stitch method.

Therefore, you can experiment with different methods and choose the
Therefore,
one that suits you best. Both methods have their own unique
characteristics and can be used to create various patterns and textures in
crochet projects.

It's important to remember that each method requires some practice to

achieve the desired result. Gradually, you
you will become more confident in
your crochet skills and be able to create unique and beautiful works.

So don't be afraid to experiment and explore new crochet techniques.

Develop your craftsmanship and enjoy the process of creating stunning
crochet pieces!
