To finish your erochet ball, you take the last strand of yarn and sew it through the bottom loops of every crochet stitch you made in the last round, Pull the yarn to close the hole. Now stick a needle under the hole and sew the yarn through your crochet work a few times and cut it off. Crochet in the round. Almost all amigurumi patierns are worked in continuous spirals, not in joined rounds (unless stated other- wise). Crocheting in spirals can be confusing, because itis hard to see where you started your round Using a piece of thread or a stitch marker in the beginning of each round (in your first stitch) can help to keep track of the rounds. After crocheting a round you will end up just before your stitch marker. Color changing. Always change colour in the last loop of a stitch, so the loop on the hook is the new colour. The next stitch will be the first stitch with the new color. DIY FlvFrics 6.
