the basic tools needed to complete the toys in this book.

This book uses crochet abbreviations. You'll read about the stitches and their relevant abbreviations on the following pages. If this is
your first time crocheting from a pattern, the abbreviations might feel like a foreign language. However, once you get used to them,
they actually make it easier to quickly decipher a pattern. This book is written using US crochet terms.

In the following pages, you'll discover straightforward, step-by-step guides to all the essential stitches
and techniques that you'll use every time you pick up a hook.

YARN OVER HOOK


The yarn over hook technique is used in every type of crochet
stitch. Wrap the yarn over the hook from back to front. The
yarn is now wrapped around the tip of the crochet hook, so
that the hook can grab and pull the yarn.

COUNTING CHAIN STITCHES
Each V-shaped chain counts as one stitch. Never count your

TIP
CHECKING THE STITCH TOTAL
Counting stitches will help you check that you are following the pattern correctly. The easiest way to count stitches is to
look at the plaited tops (V's at the top of your crochetwork). If you discover you missed one stitch or made one too many, you
can always try to correct it by making an (extra) decrease or increase in the following round (see below and on the next page).

INVISIBLE DECREASE (abbreviation: dec)

therefore decreases and the piece shrinks.

116 about the authors

About the authors - We’re Kateryna and Olga, born and raised
in Mariupol, Ukraine. We first crossed paths in 2006 at the
Azovstal steel plant, where we both worked. We quickly
became close friends and since 2020, we’ve shared our love
for crochet in our brand 'Mufficorn'. Our first design was the
Cupcake, accompanied by amazing pictures that we took in
Olga’s kitchen.
While building our brand, we’ve given special care to our IG
account @muffi corn and we’re genuinely proud of it, both as
a space to inspire fellow crocheters to spread the love of
Kateryna Yefimova crochet, as well as a showcase for our makes, beautifully
photographed by Roman Chemerys. Having such a big group
of enthusiastic crochet fans to share our journey with makes
us unbelievably happy. Some of our fans have become close
friends and have supported us through incredibly challenging
times. We’re forever grateful to you! Despite having been
apart since 2022, our friendship and our determination to work
and create together remains steadfast. The physical distance
between us hasn't hindered our collaboration, but has made
our bond even stronger. The story of Mufficorn is not just about
cute creations, but also about pushing through tough times,
about never giving up, no matter what obstacles you face along
Olga Chemerys the way.

THANK YOU
We want to express our sincere gratitude to all those who support
us and stand with Ukraine during these challenging times for

children and deep gratitude to our parents.
