thanks lyraine for the advice.What size hook should I use for amigurumi's?I do see the stuffing...

Amigurumi uses tight single crochet stitches, pretty much never anything else because there would be gaps and you want a solid fabric.

The overall size just varies depending on who designed it, if I'm understanding you correctly. You can vary size by varying the yarn weight and hook size; just follow the pattern exactly as you normally would. The key is the hook size in relation to yarn weight. Use a smaller hook than you normally would and your stitches will be small and tight. I usually use a 3.75mm hook with worsted weight yarn.

There is a lot of big crochet patterns on the internet, also you can use chenille or a chunky yarn to get bigger results

Danny Pandita Publish time 2020-6-12 02:05

Considero que depende de la forma en que teja, asi mismo el numero de hilo y el numero de la aguja

ThoughtfulNerd Publish time 2020-2-23 22:38

Congrats on learning ❤ Hook size increase and you can also increase the yarn weight

soudabe82 Publish time 2020-5-28 07:46

It depends the pattern, the thick of your yarn and the size of your hook
