Tutorials
If starting a new crochet swatch, make a slip knot and a chain (foundation row).
Insert hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
Then, yarn over again and pull through both loops on the hook.

Chain Stitch (ch)
The foundation of most crochet projects. It’s simple and versatile! Use it to start your project or create spaces between stitches.
Single Crochet (sc)
A basic stitch that creates a tight, dense fabric. Perfect for amigurumi and sturdy flower petals. It’s the go-to stitch for creating firm, structured shapes.
Half Double Crochet (hdc)
A stitch between single and double crochet in height. It’s looser than single crochet but with smaller gaps than those created by double crochet. Great for adding texture to flower petals or amigurumi details.
Double Crochet (dc)
A taller stitch that works up quickly. While it’s often used for larger projects like blankets, it’s also perfect for creating flowing, open petals in flower patterns or adding height to amigurumi features like ears or tails.
Triple/Treble Crochet (trc)
An even taller stitch that creates an airy, lacy effect. While not commonly used in amigurumi, it’s great for adding dramatic flair to flower petals or decorative elements.
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Used to join rounds or create seamless edges. It’s essential for finishing off amigurumi pieces or connecting flower petals without bulky seams.
