hi friends! I thought it might be fun to ask what advice you would give yourself as a beginner crocheter. esp since I’m new to it, I’d love to know what y’all would say
Definitely tension, hook size and yarn over vs yarn under(i now yarn under for everything I make) For amigurumi, it would be turning it to the right side (I didn’t discover for a long time, so many were on the wrong side ) I also like using the invisible decrease instead of a regular decrease for everything :)
For a long time I did only sc in the blo for everything… I didn’t know there were other stitches and that there were 2 loops I was supposed to work through. I’d tell myself to learn more stitches right at the beginning, like dc and hdc, and show myself the 2 loops. Once I made a hat that was only sc and there was like one round in the blo
i had no idea there was a difference for yarn over/under I’m gonna have to keep a better eye on that. and I didn’t know there was an invisible decrease
I learned most of these things from yt and I think yarn under and inv dec makes amigurumi more round and better shaped
i realized that after playing with stitches for a while!! I was doing the same thing haha. I thankfully noticed before I started my amigurumi!
if you happen to have a good yt channel, I would love to know
Idk I just search it up on yt
making sure your amigurumi are flipped right side out. at least half of my projects are the wrong side out lol
Same
