If you still need help after you've browsed this, please let me know and I willtry to help in any way that I can. http://articlesofadomesticgoddess.com/2014/05/matching-gauge-and-why-it-is-so-important/ A Note about Technique (The Golden Loop Method): This is not just for amigurumi items; it will help in ALL areas where crochet is involved. (Although, it helps most with amigurumi because of the nature of tight stitching.) I know I often hear of people having trouble “making their stitches tight enough” or they frequently have problems matching gauge (even if their items turn out okay on sizing, it doesn't necessarily mean there isn't improvement to be made.) Itoo had many problems when learning to create amigurumi objects when Ifirst started out. I have written a helpful blog that should help to pinpoint the areas that need improvement so that you,too, can create beautiful amigurumi items. There is ALWAYS room for improvements to be made, no matter how long you have been crocheting. Later, you will notice that all items are improved by using this easy method! If you still need help after you've browsed this, please let me know and I will try to help in any way that I can. http://articlesofadomesticgoddess.com/2014/04/amigurimi-technique-that-willalways-work-and-will-change-the-way-you-crochet-forever/ Abbreviations:
