Basic circle
The basic piece o! an amiurumi is a c"linder shape
which is sculpted b" increasin and decreasin
stitches. The c"linder is based on a basic circle.
The basic circle is divisible b" (' in other words there
are alwa"s ( increases )or decreases, on one round.
The increases !orm a straiht line' so it=s eas" to
check their positions !rom the previous round. The
basic circle is worked in a continuous spiral' the
rounds are not 0oined. @hen comin to the end o! the
round' 0ust continue into the !irst stitch o! the previous
round.
