CROCHETING TIPS

1.What is X-shape stitch/V-shape stitch? Which one is better?

X-shape stitch or V-shape stitch depends on the way you pull the yarn through the loop. If you yarn
over the hook from back to front, you’re making a V-shape stitch. If you yarn under the hook, then it’s
a X-shape stitch. Both ways are fine, you can crochet whichever you find easier.
V-shape stitch helps your amigurumi look bigger, while X-shape stitch makes your amigurumi more
beautiful and helps to make the amigurumi tighter.

X-shape stitch V-shape stitch

2.Right side vs wrong side? Which one is correct?

You can see the difference between the right side and wrong side in the photos bellow.
When you crochet mini-sized toys/dolls, it is unable to turn the sides. Therefore, it is normal having
the wrong side out.

Right side Wrong side

3.Hide the yarn

For the remaining yarn, you can use a tapestry needle and weave it vertically through stitches. Repeat
a couple times to make sure it stays firmly.

Use the tapestry needle Weave the yarn vertically Repeat a couple times
through some stitches
