Today, the new daily crochet pattern Amigurumi Lovely Maya Free Crochet Pattern, I want to give you some information about this pattern;

MATERIALS:

(3/0) 2.3 mm crochet hook.
6mm black beads or toy safety eyes.
Wire 2mm (for shaping)
Needle for sewing.
Toy stuffing (fiberfill).
Stitch marker.
Scissors.
Sport yarn 50gr/2oz (125m/137yd)

(You can use any yarn you want, just remember to adjust the crochet hook size to match the yarn you’ve chosen) I have used Schachenmayr Catania and Scheepjes Catona.

PATTERN NOTES:

Instructions are written in rounds & row, using US terminology.
Make invisible decrease stitches and invisible fasten off to have a better result.
Add toy stuffing according to instruction of each part and stuff it as tight as you can.
Stitches should be close together so that when the finished toy is stuffed, the stuffing
does not come out through gaps in the stitches.
Mark the first stitch of the round to keep track of where the round begins.
Changing color and joining yarn: Work in the previous color (or yarn) until two loops of the last stitch remain on the hook. Use the new color (or yarn) to complete the stitch.
Continue working with the new color (or yarn) as before. Then knot both yarns to make sure the stitch stays tight.
There are 2 ways to make a single crochet: “X” stitch & “V” stitch.

“X” single crochet method ( I use this stitch in the pattern): Insert the hook into a stitch, yarn under, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops.

“V” single crochet method: Insert the hook into a stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through both loops.
