Special Stitch Explanation:

Invdec
This is a good way of decreasing in amigurumi when you need a tight, smooth fabric as this technique will
eliminate bumps and holes in the fabric and will be almost completely invisible.
Insert hook into front loop only of first stitch, do not wrap yarn, insert hook into front loop only of next
stitch. You will now have a total of three loops on your hook. Wrap your yarn around hook and pull through
both of the 2 front loops on the hook, wrap yarn around hook again and pull through last 2 loops on hook.
You have now ‘invisibly’ decreased by one stitch.
Color Changing:
Make all color changes in the last 2 loops of the final stitch of the old color.
Tips for Neater Color Changes (optional):

1. Make the first stitch in the new color a slip stitch instead of a single crochet. (Don’t pull the slip stitch
too tight or it will be difficult to crochet into in the next round)
2. On narrow stripes (1-2 rounds), add 1 extra stitch of the old color to the end of every color change
round (move marker up a stitch to reflect new start of round). This extra stitch will help to counteract
the shortness of the slip stitch that replaced the single crochet.

Color Change Ends:
Tie off and trim your color change ends as you go. Tie securely on the inside of your work. With amigurumi
crochet it can be difficult to reach the ends once you have crocheted too many rows above.
For repeating stripes carry the unused color up the inside of the work to save keep cutting and re-tying.
Embroidered Stitches:
To hide the starting and fastening off ends of the embroidered stitches on the face, first thread your yarn
needle with the appropriate yarn. Tie a knot in the end of your yarn and push needle into and out of toy
between crochet stitches, coming out where you want the first embroidery stitch to be. As you pull on the
yarn the polyester toy filling will catch the knot securely inside the toy. When you have worked the
required embroidery stitches you can finish off by passing the needle in and out between different crochet
stitches a few times until the yarn is securely caught up in the polyester filling. When secure, pull on end of
yarn and snip off close to toy.
Stitch Marker Use:

Place marker in first stitch of each round. Move marker up with each completed round.
Stitch Placement: Work in both loops of the stitch unless specified otherwise.
Gauge (Tension):
Exact gauge is not crucial for this pattern. Just make sure your crochet hook is small enough to create a
tight fabric that the stuffing can’t poke through.
With the yarn and hook specified each character measures approximately 16” (40 cm) tall.
