Ch chain SI slip stitch Sc single crochet Dc double crochet HDc half double crochet INC increase INVDEC invisible decrease Tr INVDEC treble invisible decrease BLO back loops only FLO front loops only Tip 2 To keep track of the beginning of the row, use a marker. Pin marker to the last loop of the row. Every new row must be finished with a loop at the marker. Tip 1 The toy must be crocheted with tight stitches, to be sure that there won't be any holes through which stuffing material can be seen. All amigurumi toys are crocheted with tight stitches. Avoid small holes when stretching crochet fabric, if there are some tiny holes, use a smaller size hook. To avoid seams, all details are crocheted in a spiral without slip stitch and lifting loops. There is a chance that you will lose the beginning of the row; to avoid this, use a marker. It can be a colored pin or thread of contrasting color.
