Technical Notes

1.Crochet in continuous spiral rounds, unless specified otherwise. Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round.
2.Jumbo velvet yarn sheds very easily, so keep that in mind while working.
3.When creating the magic ring at the beginning, pull the circle as tight as possible before working into it. Otherwise, sometimes the circle gets stuck and it’s difficult to cinch tight.
4.When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart each large chunk into many smaller chunks. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi.
5.To avoid large holes in the crochet fabric, increase tension until the holes cannot be seen, or choose a crochet hook a size down.

 

Color Coding

For this pattern, the MC is teal.

Invisible finish off, and stuff lightly using the tail end of the yarn. Leave a long tail for sewing.

Following the diagram below, sew the tail through all four clover leaves in the order shown. After you finish sewing through all four balls, thread the tail back through the top of the stem to secure.

Then, repeat the steps and sew through all four leaves once more for extra security, sew the tail into the stem and then weave in the end.
