R6: 3SC, (increase, 4SC) x 5, increase, 1SC = 36 stitches R4: 1SC, (increase, 2SC) x 5, Increase, SC = 24 stitches I’ll show you an example pattern that you can apply next time you’re crocheting a circle, or increasing in the round. I think we can agree this looks much better, can’t we? Ready to learn how to do it? Basically, all you have to do is offset your increases. This makes the poor little amigurumi really hard and not so cuddly, and my daughter wants cuddly! So, the method I have for you will make your circle come out just like this: You don’t really want this, right? I’m not a fan of the spoke look myself, and I found that when making amigurumis I had to really stuff the critter tight to work the corners out. If you follow the Inc, SC method (or SC, Inc), as the piece grows, the increases become corners when what you really want is a circle. You know how you increase and increase and your circle really becomes more of a hexagon (or pentagon, octagon or whatever)? Well, it’s is thanks to the placement of the increase stitches. Trust me, you’ll be thankful for this one. And not only for amigurumis, but for making mandalas or anything that needs to become a circle in a solid colour like coasters, cushions, or floor rugs. This is something I’ve learned making amigurumis, and is especially useful when making really big stuffed animals. Today I want to introduce you to one of the very best hacks I’ve found and show you how you can do it.
