Stitch Guide
The following are the crochet techniques used for crocheting this amigurumi mushroom:
- Magic Ring (or Magic Circle): Begin your project with a magic ring to create a tight, adjustable center for crocheting in the round.
- Single Crochet (SC): Insert the hook, yarn over, pull through the stitch, yarn over again, and pull through both loops.
- Increasing Stitches: Make two single crochets in the same stitch to increase and shape larger parts of your project.
- Decreasing Stitches: Crochet two single crochet stitches together to decrease and create tapering shapes.
- sl st (slip stitch): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook.
Quick Tip On Color Changes In Crochet
When changing colors, always switch to the new yarn before you finish the last stitch of the old color. For example, if you’re doing a double crochet, start the stitch with the old color, and when you have two loops left on your hook, yarn over with the new color and pull through. This creates a clean, seamless transition between colors. Tighten gently and crochet over the tail to secure it as you go!
