I got confused because you went from having one Stich on the magic circle then you had this whole thing and I cant fingure out where to go from the second step lol but this was super helpful I’m going to keep trying!

Oh how cute! My best friend (since age 11) is a bee keeper in Maine. I love to crotchet, haven't tried plushy toys yet. I will have to make that bumblebee and send her a box full of them. She'd get a kick out of that. Thank you! 🐝💕
I recommend doing loomigurumi before starting amigurumi because it’s basically the same thing but practicing loomigurumi will make it easier to understand amigurumi, I hope that makes sense. And this video was really helpful it makes it easier to understand, thanks

i disagree (for me personally)... this would complicate it for me. I would be learning a whole nother skill. But for some this may work! Everyone learns differently.
This was so helpful because I kept decreasing every stitch I did which made a ball, thank you!
This is brilliant for me, an absolute beginner... Thank You ❤❤❤
YOU MADE IT SO EASY FOR MY SMALL BRAIN TO UNDERSTAND THANK YOU- also ur plushies are adorable
This was a amazing video!!!! This helped me a lot! Now I am able to make all the cute plushies of my dreams! This video had very good information and was very descriptive!!!!
Tysm bc i was crocheting and i had no idea how to do a magic circle but then i watched this and i learned how to do one❤❤
Thank you for this video. I’m a veteran crocheter but new to amigurumi. These tips are very helpful!
Tysm! I’m beginning to crochet and this helps💕
Thank you so much, I just started crochet and I was doubting whether I could make a plushie. However, after I watched your video I realized I was wrong, and made my first bee today!
This was extremely helpful! I made the frog in your other video and now I'm starting to try harder patterns :)

I do believe it tells you on the yarn you buy, making plushes might be different though
I don’t know if I have the wrong hook size I feel like it’s to big and I a, frustrated bc I can’t start arrow and if I manage do to it it looks horrible a made a pretty good first row on thinner yarn but my hook is to big for a second row
How do u put on the plastic eyes?
Could u maybe use the thinner wool so that I can see what ur doing bc I have a little brain lol
What yarn did u use
what are the black dots for eyessss
How do you know when to increase and decrease? So it doesn’t look wonky
Qual o nome dessa linha? Alguém sabe?
I really want bigger yarn. I might use my saved up money for it.

If you follow any of my plushie tutorials, I explain each step and how each skill flows from one to the other :)
“If ur a beginner u should use this yarn and this Size hook” Me who has the exact ones:
Ohhhh I was doing this really wrong bc I did the way I do a chain on my magic ring which I use a simpler way for Edit: i also wanna know if acrylic yarn is a good yarn to start with bc all my yarn is acrylic
@themaryjay

Yes acrylic yarn is great to start with since it's easier to see the stitches and also more affordable :) There are also definitely methods where you can do a chain instead of a magic ring as a magic ring alternative!

Try watching one of my plushie tutorials (any work for showing going from the magic circle to single crochet, but the frog or whale one mainly only use these five skills). They go from start to finish! This one I just meant to show the different skills as separate parts instead of having them flow into one another. In hindsight, I probably should have done a continuation. I’m sorry about the confusion
I cant make a magic circle it always turns into a slip knot wiht no circle i dont get it!
Girl I need help how do you find the v shape pls help
I don’t know why but after like 2 loops I always loose my magic circle!
I got done with the head now im doing the body

I used plush yarn

It is very hard to make magic ring. Try make 2 x chain, and then make all needed sc in the first chain! It is chain, chain, and go back in the first chain poke it and make single crochet (if you need 6) just keep starting pokeing in the same chain six times

So… when I *did the magic ring, but whenever I got the first loop I couldn’t see the bottom of the “X” Help? *tried
I can't do it you used a thick yarn of it was #4 it would have been easier :,D
Idk why but the solid yarn is SO HARD to see it’s easier to see the stitches of a yarn w diff colors for me😭😭😭
