After finishing the feet: “you should have 48 stitches” Me, who actually has the right amount of stitches on the first try for the first time in my life: “I am a wizard, crochet is my calling, no one can touch me, I am a perfect human being”
I love love love your methods of sewing the body parts together. I'm using this as a base for an elf character in pink. I stuffed her head a little aggressively and she could easily knock someone out
Thank you so much! It took me all day to make this doll, and I had a little trouble sewing the head and the arms, but it still turned out well! I love love love your tutorials ❤️
I learned how to crochet last year during quarantine, and I’m just starting to learn how to do amigurumi. I bought this pattern because it’s the cutest one i’ve found :) I’m so excited because this is my first project i just finished the body last night, and it looks so perfect! I just have to wait two more days for his eyes to get here. Love this tutorial
Thank you so much for this pattern I have been looking for a pattern to make a frog out of and stumbled upon this one My frog turned out so great I made him a scarf and a sweater and a beret. And I had my cousins pick out a name and they named him Billy bob 🤣 Im now going to make him overalls. Thank you so much agian
I made the head and listened to you say a few things that you do,like going into the wrong stich after a decrease, me too.thanks for the great patterns.
Is it strange to say that you video is quite relaxing to watch and a great inspiration to awake again my crochet skills? I just want to start although it is 1am 😆❤
The comment section is just his own universe 😆 I also began yesterday with the body and your video is so good and easy to follow you step by step! I cannot wait to crochet my own plushie army now ❤😍 thank you for the inspiration and the answer 💐
I can’t wait to do this tomarow after I go to sleep! I am on a budget so my yarn is some multicolored one I have no eye pins or stuffing 🤣 but it can be eyeless and tissues from Walgreens will work!
I’ve been working on this short story idea for awhile now, and since I’ve gotten to know my character better, I thought it’d be cute to make the character a doll! His name is Oliver, wears a beret that his older artist sister gave him, along with small denim overalls. 😄
My grandma recently bought a Webby Vanderquack pattern for me and we both have no clue how to crochet, and plus it won’t let us access the pdf, so ya it’s a problem lol 😂. Edit: I got the pdf to work so now I got to buy yarn, stuffing, and a needle!
I just want to say you are my favorite person to learn from, you show us so well in my opinion and you use easy words for my smooth brain to understand lmao
@@KnitGritplease don’t ever stop doing your tutorials!!!! I’m a beginner and I’m really learning from you!!! Can you do Tim Burton’s characters? Pleasssssseeeee 😊 tysm!!!!
I have only crocheted scarves before with very simple patterns, but I bought the pattern and I am following along with it + the video :)! It’s helping me learn so much!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve been using this to learn and I've been enjoying it! I had the same issue as Natalie with the decreases not being on the hips as the stitch shifted. Do you have any tips for how to avoid this and to make sure that the decrease stays at the hips? Thank you 🌸
Ok, so imma guy, and I am strangely fascinated with how good this looks. Smooth, and a little creepy. I’m going to use a new grand daughter as an excuse to learn to crochet a toy. Good job, you got me. Now, if I could only get a$ good as you are...right away. Off to Joann’s tomorrow to buy a hook or two. I like how organized you tablet pattern is. You just appealed to my OCD.
@@KnitGrit it's a doll for my daughter so just done hair and a dress, blushed the cheeks and embroidered a smile. Trying to master granny squares so I can make it a blanket but having varying degrees of success lol
I loved this video right up to the French knot. I have tried fifteen times to figure out what you're doing but I cant get it to work. Which tail do I pull?
Please make Lily from Animal Crossing, she's my favorite! I literally screamed when you said you were thinking about doing an AC variation of this pattern!!! Keep up the amazing work I looooove your videos, you got me into amigurumi THANK YOU ❤❤❤
This is a great video I think I’ll turn it into the unicorn, I love this channel! And I think my friends will be happy to get cute little plushies!🦄🦄🦄❤️❤️🥳🥳
I’m a bit confused on the feet tho because you go into the first stitch instead of both so I want to know, is it still gonna be fine if I do it in both?
Knit Grit I love ❤️ u. I think as I am a beginner I will do it as u did first but it will beautiful because u taught me to make it 🥰. Then in second I will try a different one by seeing your videos .
It’s always interesting when I see someone that forms stitches by wrapping their yarn clockwise as opposed to the generally used counter-clockwise wrap. Considering the predominant twist in yarn manufacturing-which is S-twist-crocheting in the conventional way causes the yarn to lose its twist. It’s quite undesirable because it encourages splittimg yarn. It can be somewhat mitigated by making sure the direction by which the yarn is coming off of a skein is adding some twist back to the yarn. By forming stitches the way you are doing adds some twist to the yarn which helps with strength, durability, stitch definition, and split stitches. Did you learn to crochet this way or did you make a conscious decision to crochet this way? Obviously it works great for you 🤩
I’m actually dyslexic so I learned the wrong way, but I liked how it looked so I stuck with it! I later found out this is a technique called a X stitch, versus a Y stitch which is the traditional way. A lot of amigurumi artists use the X stitch since it does just what you said, and in my opinion is also looks “bubblier” which is perfect for amigurumi! ❤️
I did an entire video showing how it looks every way you could wrap it for a single Crochet, too. I actually like wrapping under and then wrapping over the best but it’s a habit to wrap under both times now, lol!
Oh, so very close! I did the body according to this video, then you mentioned the other ball video...I immediately just there. Well, the ball size is evidently smaller. Now I have a bigger body than head. Figured at 1 AM is was time for sleep...
Who else said this to them self at a certain point " I can quit at any time but if I finished this I could do more but also I'm lazy but no I can't quit yet not now"- but I love it ♥️
Not yet but I’m hoping before the end of this year I’ll have it out! Shoot me an email if you want the base draft pattern for it though if you want to test crochet the project! ☺️
i am making myself a qi rong plush using this tutorial. your instructions are very easy to follow, thank you! (mine is ending up a bit larger than expected because i miscounted my stitches but i think he still looks very cute ❤️)
Shoot me an email if you'd like the draft version of the bat, I'm not sure when the video for that is coming out! I made half granny squares for the wings though and it's super cute!
I’m loving this tutorial so much but I’m a little confused over the head. Does it skip from SC4 include = 36 to SC6 include = 42, am I missing a SC5 include row? Thanks
I followed along with the video, but every time i decreased, the position of the first stitch in the row shifted so that i wasnt decreasing from the sides of the hips each time. I used a stitch marker in the first stitch in each row (rather than a running stitch marker) and counted the stitches each time. Any idea what happened or how to avoid it?
@@tamanilee3831 I was using a standard stitch too! Did it end up working for you? I was thinking of trying again and decreasing at the hips instead of counting the stitches between decreases
i love this so much! i’m just learning to crochet, if i want to make this but in a bulkier yarn- say a size 7, which crochet hook would you recommend? would i have to change parts of the pattern or just adjust my hook size? love your work 🫶
First of all It’s a wonderful tutorial, thank you so much for making these. Second, I have a question do we decrease 1 stitch or 2 stitches in each round ? Thanks in advance!
Every round you should be increasing 6 stitches by placing two stitches within a single stitch from the previous round. How far apart the increases are depends on how many stitches you’ve made. You place a stitch between each increase the more rounds you go and then you do the inverse as soon as you get to decreasing.
For making the head, did you ever consider doing staggered increases to keep it more round and less hexagonal?? Or does it matter? This will be my first big amigarumi finally done, but I've seen other videos stagger :P just curious. thanks!
I actually have an entire video on Staggering vs stacking stitches. I love staggering more than stacking my stitches and find that it looks more round than not. I also go through FLO which helps as well!
@@NOTwackadoodle Well Im crocheting it right now with 3mm hook and it seems like its a little bit bigger than a hand If you want to make something bigger you can use 4-5mm hook
I've made 2 working on 3... my stitches in the body always come up right but with every round my double stitches moves but count is right... I start on the side of its leg but by the 25th row im doing the increase stitch on the middle of the back
Hey! I just stumbled upon your account and I just find yours easiest to understand. I have never crochet before, what are some advices for beginners like me before jumping into amigurumi?
I would definitely say practice makes perfect! Don’t be afraid to get stitching. Find some decent cheap yarn and just go to town. I also have a Crochet 101 playlist for some more basics! But don’t be afraid to find other videos if mine don’t speak to you. I had to go through so many TH-cam videos before things clicked and made sense for me!
i’m using the same yarn and size hook you used but my luna squish is wayy smaller :( do you think a little looser tension and/or a larger hook would solve this?
Hey! I was wondering- is there a reason why you sewed the head and body together inside stitches then outside? Why not go through entire stitch one time? Thanks!
Hi, is there any videos or help on how to do the increasing of the head ? as I’m struggling with only that part. The written down confuses me as I’m better with watching and listening. I’m good with the 6-12 increase but after that I don’t know how to do it as it keeps ending up way smaller than it should be. so if you can help it would be really appreciated☺️ x
I’m making my friend a Todoroki doll (so she can put it in her Todoroki shrine ofc) and I have no clue what I’m doing but it’s actually turning out to be pretty decent so far
@@KnitGrit I am probably gonna make the red half on it’s own, then attach it to the white part on its own- kinda like a granny square thing- and just attach it to the head that way.
Such a clear tutorial! This doll looks super firm. Is it squishy and cuddly or more of an intentionally stiff type plushie? I have a super soft fuzzy yarn I'd like to use (Yarn Bee - warm and cozy) that says it's the right size, but seems a lot more lightweight than others the same size.... we'll see! I'm still a beginner and have stuck to scarves for the most part, though I did get brave and made a pair of baby scratch mittens with the Yarn Bee product this week that turned out (slightly and not noticeably uneven but) super cute. ❤️ Excited to try this! Thanks for sharing.
I actually made an extra large version of this with velvet blanket yarn! Was a bit more floppy than the one with worsted yarn, but I just went down a few sizes to what the yarn called for and made sure that the holes in my stitches weren’t too big to show the stuffing. Let me know how it turns out! 😁
I love this tutorial and it’s a pretty easy pattern to follow except, I’m having a hard time keeping my decreases on the hips. Is anyone else having the same problem? Any tricks/advice on how to keep the decreases on the hips going down the body?
HELP! At 10:51 after we chain 9 and start to connect the legs, I feel like mine is backwards compared to yours. Or like the chain of 9 on the right leg is connected to the front part of the leg and then the chain is connecting to the back part of the left leg if that makes any sense. Did you by chance turn the legs inside out before connecting them together? That’s the only way I can get mine positioned like yours I think. What did I do wrong?? Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!! :)
@@KnitGrit is it!!😍 Thank you so much for considering my request☺..I'm from Kerala,India..and it's giving me so much pleasure to know that someone from really far away is trying to help me..☺
Can anyone help please, if I wanted to make this, but bigger, do I need to do more stitches, or could I just go up a few hook sizes? Would that work? I'm a beginner 😅
You have a couple of options! I just did a video which I uploaded yesterday; that explains how I make different size balls and how I expand my amigurumi. OR you could use a larger yarn, I made one of these with velvet blanket yarn a few weeks ago and it turned out HUGE. I just used a hook a few times smaller than what the yarn called for. That may be the easiest way.
Absolutely love this!! I'm on my 3rd one... But somehow the head got extremely large and I don't know if it's going to look right... Guess I'll have to wait and see lol 😅
I'm not sure if you would still answer questions from this video... But I'm going to ask anyway 🥺 you know how we start decreasing from the other side? Should I do the same thing for the next round too?
Question. Is there a reason you don’t crochet the head and body as one? Crocheting the head from bottom to top? I hate sewing so I try to find loopholes when I can. Lol.
It depends on the yarn, but I would change the size of hook you use. Go down a size or two from what the yarn calls for. The final product will also wind up a different size, but it should still work. I used Bernat blanket yarn with the baby Luna body and it came out bigger than the squish! 😁
Hello. I've been meaning to start crocheting and I thought this would be an awesome project as I believe I can tweak this "mannequin" to make different things I want. My question is about the needle - the store I'm perusing has as closest 3,0 and 3,50 - will that do, or does it Have 3,25?
hooks correspond to the yarn you use! when you buy yarn, the packaging should show a little hook with a number telling you what size hook would work best with that yarn!
Luna is the general name for this shape doll. I did a few Luna “mamas” which have long legs but the Squish has stubby legs and the Baby is just a smaller version of the Squish. :)

You can make the lines of the wrapping by sewing with black embroidery thread all around it!

@@Notusinganymore22 yea Ik obviously 😭😭, but i just wanna know how big it’s expected to be 👍
@@NOTwackadoodle Well Im crocheting it right now with 3mm hook and it seems like its a little bit bigger than a hand If you want to make something bigger you can use 4-5mm hook
@@NOTwackadoodle Sorry if I still can't explain what you are asking 😭
@@Notusinganymore22 that’s okayy, but like i mean with the hook she uses, how big it ends up being in the end
love love ! thank you I hopE you make alot more in the near futer
hello! if i wanted to make this larger would i just double the stitches?
I've made 2 working on 3... my stitches in the body always come up right but with every round my double stitches moves but count is right... I start on the side of its leg but by the 25th row im doing the increase stitch on the middle of the back
Hey! I just stumbled upon your account and I just find yours easiest to understand. I have never crochet before, what are some advices for beginners like me before jumping into amigurumi?
I would definitely say practice makes perfect! Don’t be afraid to get stitching. Find some decent cheap yarn and just go to town.
I also have a Crochet 101 playlist for some more basics! But don’t be afraid to find other videos if mine don’t speak to you. I had to go through so many TH-cam videos before things clicked and made sense for me!
i’m using the same yarn and size hook you used but my luna squish is wayy smaller :( do you think a little looser tension and/or a larger hook would solve this?
Hey! I was wondering- is there a reason why you sewed the head and body together inside stitches then outside? Why not go through entire stitch one time? Thanks!
I like how it makes it thicker and also makes it sturdier!
@@KnitGrit thank you!
Hi, is there any videos or help on how to do the increasing of the head ? as I’m struggling with only that part. The written down confuses me as I’m better with watching and listening. I’m good with the 6-12 increase but after that I don’t know how to do it as it keeps ending up way smaller than it should be. so if you can help it would be really appreciated☺️ x
What is the difference between a luna squish and a regular luna?
Their bodies, Lunas have longer thinner legs versus the Squish which have shorter stubbier legs and a wider hip. ☺️
I’m making my friend a Todoroki doll (so she can put it in her Todoroki shrine ofc) and I have no clue what I’m doing but it’s actually turning out to be pretty decent so far
How are you doing his duo hair? 😁
@@KnitGrit I am probably gonna make the red half on it’s own, then attach it to the white part on its own- kinda like a granny square thing- and just attach it to the head that way.
What size hook and yarn are you using? Thanks for the tutorial!
Size D3 or 3.25mm crochet hook and Size 4 Worsted Weight yarn. ☺️
Can you make a tooth amigurumi video??...pleazzzzzz
Such a clear tutorial! This doll looks super firm. Is it squishy and cuddly or more of an intentionally stiff type plushie?
I have a super soft fuzzy yarn I'd like to use (Yarn Bee - warm and cozy) that says it's the right size, but seems a lot more lightweight than others the same size.... we'll see! I'm still a beginner and have stuck to scarves for the most part, though I did get brave and made a pair of baby scratch mittens with the Yarn Bee product this week that turned out (slightly and not noticeably uneven but) super cute. ❤️
Excited to try this! Thanks for sharing.
I actually made an extra large version of this with velvet blanket yarn! Was a bit more floppy than the one with worsted yarn, but I just went down a few sizes to what the yarn called for and made sure that the holes in my stitches weren’t too big to show the stuffing. Let me know how it turns out! 😁
I have three sets of crochet hooks and none of them have 3.25 😶 hoping a 3.5 turns out ok cos I'm too impatient to wait till I can get to the store
This reminds me of little big planet for some reason lol i like it though need to make this its adorable
This very easily could be a sackboy. 😂You’re not the only one who sees it! Lol
@@KnitGrit i want to turn this into yoda so that will be fun i haven't done crochet but i guess ill find out it looks easy to follow lol
I remember meeting you in hobby lobby! I still want to buy a chicken from you!
Hey! How have you been?
@@KnitGrit I’ve been doing pretty good! I hope you’re doing well!
@@elizabethwilson6097 I am for the most part! 😁 working on more tutorials and I’ve started selling kits to go with my tutorials!
I love this tutorial and it’s a pretty easy pattern to follow except, I’m having a hard time keeping my decreases on the hips. Is anyone else having the same problem? Any tricks/advice on how to keep the decreases on the hips going down the body?
I put a stitch marker inside of the last decrease I made and it helps me keep track! ❤️
@@KnitGrit I placed the stitch marker on the first stitch of every round, maybe I’ll try putting it on the last stitch and see if that helps 🤷🏼♀️
My stitch marker isn't ending up on the hips anymore either, not sure what I've done wrong. I'm following the pattern exactly
I had 44 stitches..... Restarting now LMAOOO ): Practice makes progress!!
HELP! At 10:51 after we chain 9 and start to connect the legs, I feel like mine is backwards compared to yours. Or like the chain of 9 on the right leg is connected to the front part of the leg and then the chain is connecting to the back part of the left leg if that makes any sense. Did you by chance turn the legs inside out before connecting them together? That’s the only way I can get mine positioned like yours I think. What did I do wrong?? Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!! :)
I keep my stitches facing outward, and I work through front loop only. Shoot me an email with a pic and I might be able to help!
These are sooooo cutee😍..waitin for the unicorn video🤗
Can you make a tooth amigurumi video??
Is that a character or do you mean like a tooth in your mouth? lol
@@KnitGrit tooth in our mouth😁
I just saw a pattern in Pinterest that is called "Sweet Tooth" and it's super cute! It's made to look like it has candy drizzled on it! 😂
@@KnitGrit is it!!😍
Thank you so much for considering my request☺..I'm from Kerala,India..and it's giving me so much pleasure to know that someone from really far away is trying to help me..☺
Hey is the pattern for the head the same as that ball tutorial you did?
Yes, there are just some more increases and more rows you go around.
@@KnitGritthanks so much! I'll go to forty two of your ball tutorial then switch back to the amigurimi :)
Can anyone help please, if I wanted to make this, but bigger, do I need to do more stitches, or could I just go up a few hook sizes? Would that work? I'm a beginner 😅
You have a couple of options! I just did a video which I uploaded yesterday; that explains how I make different size balls and how I expand my amigurumi. OR you could use a larger yarn, I made one of these with velvet blanket yarn a few weeks ago and it turned out HUGE. I just used a hook a few times smaller than what the yarn called for. That may be the easiest way.
Absolutely love this!! I'm on my 3rd one... But somehow the head got extremely large and I don't know if it's going to look right... Guess I'll have to wait and see lol 😅
What weight yarn are you using? And size hook?
I'm not sure if you would still answer questions from this video... But I'm going to ask anyway 🥺 you know how we start decreasing from the other side? Should I do the same thing for the next round too?
I’m not sure I understand the question. Which rows?
Question. Is there a reason you don’t crochet the head and body as one? Crocheting the head from bottom to top? I hate sewing so I try to find loopholes when I can. Lol.
I want to use like fluffy yarn, will it still look okay ?
It depends on the yarn, but I would change the size of hook you use. Go down a size or two from what the yarn calls for. The final product will also wind up a different size, but it should still work.
I used Bernat blanket yarn with the baby Luna body and it came out bigger than the squish! 😁
I think a dinosaur variant would be adorable and something people could make for boys. :)
Dinosaur and maybe a dragon! 🐉
Yes!
Where can I find the free version of the pattern?
Hello. I've been meaning to start crocheting and I thought this would be an awesome project as I believe I can tweak this "mannequin" to make different things I want. My question is about the needle - the store I'm perusing has as closest 3,0 and 3,50 - will that do, or does it Have 3,25?
hooks correspond to the yarn you use! when you buy yarn, the packaging should show a little hook with a number telling you what size hook would work best with that yarn!
@@rum1827 okay, then I understand, thank you👍
Your work is fabulous. Is there a difference between the Luna and the luna squish?
Luna is the general name for this shape doll. I did a few Luna “mamas” which have long legs but the Squish has stubby legs and the Baby is just a smaller version of the Squish. :)
@@KnitGrit oh. Ok. Thanks for replying so fast
It is an amaizing video! I loved it. Just one question, how much yarn did you use? In gr or mts. I need to make sure how much shall I buy.
I used less than one skein of Red Heart Soft. 😁
