Q: That hook is too small for my yarn! Can I use a different hook size? A: There are several reasons Firstly because amigurumi does not need a specific brand of yarn to achieve a good result; secondly, This project has not been sponsored by a yarn company, if you would like to know specific details of the yarn and other items used for this project, see the back of the book The final reason is this: all crafters are artisans; you are creatively free to choose your favorite brand, fiber content and weight of yarn to achieve YOUR desired effect I would love to see your projects! I encourage you to share images of your finished projects on Ravelry and my Facebook page www.facebook.com/thecrochetcase www.facebook.com/MerakiCraftInc Pattern support is always available on Facebook page Just send me a message the A: Of course! If your tension is particularly tight, or you are using a heavier weight yarn, a larger hook size may be needed Use what you feel is appropriate to achieve the best results for YOU Q: My stuffing is showing through the crochet fabric! How can I prevent that from happening? A: To prevent the polyfill from showing through your work, use a slightly smaller hook than is necessary for the yarn you have selected Also, NOT overstuff your amigurumi pieces For best results, fill FIRMLY, but not so much that you overstretch the crochet fabric © 2014 Laura Pavy Instructions Important! Body This project is worked in a continuous spiral without joining at the end of each round To mark the end of each round, use a piece of contrasting colored yarn or a stitch marker If you leave your yarn marker in, moving the tail forward and back for each subsequent row, take care not to crochet through the yarn It can be easily removed when your item is complete by simply pulling it out Worked
