Thank you! I've never encountered this issue in all my years of crocheting until now. I'm designing a character who needs to be *round* but it keeps coming out cone shaped. I'm using a K hook with Bernat baby blanket (super bulky) because any larger caused big gaps w/ my gauge. Increasing the first round to 8, increasing to 24 and then going back to the typical 6 increases per round worked a charm!
another thing you can do is after you fasten off, you can sometimes take your sewing needle and pull it through the body all the way up to the cone so it sticks out of the cone. then, you can go over a stitch and then bring the needle all the way back to the bottom and pull a little bit, so the cone gets pushed inwards. sorry that this is complicated, if you need help, just comment :)
no that actually makes sense im gonna try this so I don't have to alter the number of stitches considering I have to change colors in row four so skipping it won't really work for me
After years of amigurumi with medium weight yarn I'm having so much trouble with this cone shape in the plush. I'm used to pulling every stitch as tight as possible and keeping the stitching tiny this is very difficult. Thanks for all the tips. I'll be trying them to see if one works for me. If not then I'll get back to the medium weight amis.
Thanks for this video! I've already frogged my octopus project twice now, and about to do so a third time. I decided to use a 7mm hook and doing 8sc in magic circle. However, the top remains fairly flat with the slightest point, but moving on to doing the sides with continued rows of 64sc... basically I end up with something akin to a basket or a hat. I decided to try crocheting a new one doing 6sc in magic circle, but it started going cone-shaped! Would make a cute mushroom, but I want a round ball! And it's not like I haven't crocheted round balls before. I thought I was going crazy, haha.
Hi, I'm just starting working g with velvet and blanket yarns and even if I adore the finish product, I really don't like to crochet with it!It's like after making amigurumis for years.-s-s I now have to learn crochet again!!@ Lol. I had saw your previous video on that, but this one is better ( for me😀)! Thank you so much! It's weird how almost nobody who do tutorial using those yarns, no-one adress this question!!!
Omg thank you! I’m starting to crochet plushies and I had to keep restarting, but always got the cone effect. Thankfully I don’t think it’s too bad and actually look cute in my crochet turtle plush, though I don’t think other people will find the cone to be cute when I sell them 😅
I have just finished up a star shaped pillow and realized this problem. I tried using a bigger needle but there were too big holes in my work. As for the star pillow the cone in the middle actually looks nice! But for the future I will use your tips!
Since you take a round away should you add another round later like to the rounds you work even? I am making your giant turtle, i have made the other two already so should i add a round to the head on rounds 8-13 of your pattern? Or just keep going and not make up for the lost round?
At 7:26 what do you mean with skipping the next row after row 5? Why do you have to do that? What if the pattern says to increase or decrease? Please help I’m new to this and I’m confused
How I wish to find this video sooner 😆 ytd I just gave my friends bee amigurumi and the face turns out to be a cone shape.. me, hoping my friends won't notice anything, then 1 of them comment "it looks like rocket" lolol Now i know why my bee look like roclet instead of bee! 🤣 thankyou so much for your info
After you finished round three of the modified Circle with the extra stitches would you switch to the normal crochet hook you were planning on using with this pattern
he started the magic circle like this because the fluffy yarn gets stuck if it is too tight. if there is another thread next to the loop, it can be pulled out more nicely and it won't get caught.
So I’m confused. If the normal pattern and the modified pattern both end up with 30 stitches, and the next row for the normal pattern included increases or decreases, does the modified still skip it? I’m not sure what you meant with the modified having to skip the next row, what if it gives a different result than the original pattern? Please help
This is great, but how are people who film tutorials using the same hook and yarn size as me end up with a flat circle by round 5 and mine is a cone?!😭I’m going to use the modified version to help, but I don’t understand how they could be using the same materials as me yet end up with a different product (I also try to use looser stitching in the beginning and it doesn’t make enough of a difference)
She skipped round 4 because she needed to get back to the amount of stitches that the pattern showed since she increased the amount of stitches in her magic ring if she had continued and not skipped a round she would have ended up with way too many stitches(a bigger circle) and not been able to keep following the pattern
Thank you so much. I have been having a lot of trouble with the cone. All of my bees have pointy faces!! Lol
Mine too lmaoaoao
don’t get me started about my axolotl… at first I thought it looked like a peanut 😅
@@coco_lesloth1771 noooooo lol 😂😅

Lowkey i feel like thatd be cute lol

This is what I would do too! But then it ran the risk of having the opposite problem of looking like it had a bellybutton 😹 but overall flat ish.

@@maddilong135 yess! let me know if it works for u!!
the 8sc MR and then skipping the 4rd row is a life-saver. thanks!!!
This is the exact problem I've been having, can't wait to try the solution. Giving the new patterns was super helpful I appreciate it!!
THank you for this!!! I thought I was just bad 😭 But now I can make non-cone-headed plushies 🤣
Thanks so much. I been having this issue but didn’t know how to fix it even if it was that exact pattern thank you.😄
Thanks! I thought something was wrong with my skills, I'm glad I'm not the only one
Thank you for this video. I have had this trouble with regular yarn. So this is very helpful. Thx for video.

Do you suggest using a tight tension, or a more loose tension?
Thank you! You saved my sanity today! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank youuu i needed this !!! 🤗
Thank you for all the free beautiful patterns 😘😘😘
I have just finished up a star shaped pillow and realized this problem. I tried using a bigger needle but there were too big holes in my work.

Do you have to adjust for when decreasing towards the end too? Or just do it according to the original pattern?
i feel like this is so niche but i’m happy there’s other people out here with them same problem lol
Since you take a round away should you add another round later like to the rounds you work even? I am making your giant turtle, i have made the other two already so should i add a round to the head on rounds 8-13 of your pattern? Or just keep going and not make up for the lost round?
I’ve been wondering the same thing. Did you ever find an answer?

Thank you! This is so helpful! ❤
You are a savior 🙏
Question: if I use a larger hook size, I’d that throughout the pattern or just to get through those first cone-prone rounds?
the stretching it worked for me

Question! If I start off with a size 8mm crochet hook just to get this base part done, can I switch to a 6.5mm hook after?
my chunky yarn says it’s for size 8mm hooks and it’s still coning. i don’t own any larger sizes so i’ll definitely try the extra stitches
Thank you!! Was struggling with this a lot
i needed this im crocheting rn :O!!!
Great timing 🥰
super helpful!!! cone head no bueno!!
Thank you so much! I finally found a way to solve it :)
After you finished round three of the modified Circle with the extra stitches would you switch to the normal crochet hook you were planning on using with this pattern
keep same hook
Thank-you for this! Why did you wrap it around your fingers 3 times when you made the magic ring?
he started the magic circle like this because the fluffy yarn gets stuck if it is too tight. if there is another thread next to the loop, it can be pulled out more nicely and it won't get caught.
As soon as you said to use a bigger hook size i did and all of my problems went away.... How did i not think of that
That’s awesome 🥰

Hi, use larger hook for first 3 rounds or for whole round? 😢😢😢
Thank you ❤ I needed this help
What do you do after the 5th round
Would you switch back to the recommended hook size after you get the initial rounds done?
no
These videos are so helpful thank you! Could you do a video on a how to increase and decrease
An increase is just two single crochets in one, a decrease is combining two stitches together!
Do we decrease in the same pattern?
Thank you so much! Life saver
This is great, but how are people who film tutorials using the same hook and yarn size as me end up with a flat circle by round 5 and mine is a cone?!😭I’m going to use the modified version to help, but I don’t understand how they could be using the same materials as me yet end up with a different product (I also try to use looser stitching in the beginning and it doesn’t make enough of a difference)
Thank you!!
Omg thank you!
After you use larger hook and do the rows to get to 30 stitches, do you go back to smaller hook size to finish ?
I need to know, too! I can’t find an answer anywhere
:(
Did you?
@@rebeccapfeifer2376 same hook size
@@vi7990 thank you friend 🤗
Love the jazz music instead of the clown music everyone else has. 😮
After using larger hook for first few rows do you go back to reg hook size
I usually keep to the same larger size. But if the holes are too big you can go down to a smaller size again 🙂
Thank you this is so helpful 💕
I’m still really new to amigurumi but why do you skip rounds and how do you determine which rounds skip?
She skipped round 4 because she needed to get back to the amount of stitches that the pattern showed since she increased the amount of stitches in her magic ring if she had continued and not skipped a round she would have ended up with way too many stitches(a bigger circle) and not been able to keep following the pattern
Thank you so much!!💗
Thank you so much for this! Do you know WHY some of us get cone shape and others don’t?
If you’re using the same yarn and hook then it’s probably tension 🙂
@@RoseandLilyAmigurumi is it because of loose tension or tight tension?
@@SphynxCrochet😊too tight hense the suggestion for increase in hook size
Thank you so much 💓 💗
Thank you, his helped me a lot 😂
Very helpful
After adding stitches what do u do after row 5
