    Thank you for the tips regarding the rounded head vs. pointed head, the color change, and the yo vs. yu; all very helpful. But I would like to mention to anyone who is new to amigurumi that the Magic Ring is much better to use once mastered because then you don’t have an obvious hole that the alternative has, which can result in the stuffing coming out of your project.

    It also looks like yarn under helps to keep the rounds/rows straight, and easier to count. Which is the issue I am struggling with. My stitches look so messy. But I have also only been doing this for less then a week, and I have only made two very small things. So I know I will get better in time. These tips I am sure will help. I will try to follow them.

    I have a question about the cone head. How do you deal with the row count being off if you start with "row 2?" I have every intention of trying this, but just wondered if that would cause problems. Also, I LOVE that color change trick. I've seen part of it, but not all of it. Thanks for the very clear explanation.

    So I think the best way is to just be very careful and count the rows going forward, so basically every row it says in the pattern you’d just subtract 1 to correspond to the row you’re actually on if that makes sense☺️

    The solution to the cone head is so simple i love it. The yarn over and under when you demoed the yarn under you yarned under the first time but then to pull the yarn through the loops you yarned over. Was that on purpose or was that a mistake? All the other tutorials I've seen yarn under both times so I was wondering.

    That’s a great question! When I learned the difference between the two, it was the first part that was different, but then you always yarned over to pull through the loops on both methods. I’m not sure if it makes a difference to do yarn under on both the first and the second part. I’ll have to test it out for the next video!

    I love your cone head trick, but do you need to add another row later to make up for the round you didn't begin with?

    I believe you can just keep going as normal, and it’ll be pretty much the same☺️
