I'm so excited I found this tutorial. I'm not adding the arms or the face (i need the potatoes for a cosplay), but this was so simple to follow. Now I'm antsy, waiting to get off work so I can go home and get started !!!!
@@SaraHbeifongtrash girl that is gonna be so cool. If you share pics will you tag me in them? I am going to some comic cons this year and would love the inspo
Thank you so much for this tutorial. The instructions were very easy to follow and your voice made it easy to listen. Sometimes I mute the voice due to high tones on other TH-camrs.
Thank you for this video, it was very easy to follow as advertised. You also have a lovely voice, sound so kind and sweet. Thank you again for sharing this video for all of us.
this is my first ever crochet project (or the second if we consider the leaf I did as practice for the almighty spud) and as promised this was super beginner friendly and I can cry at how cute it turned out even though I messed up and a lil Thank you so much, I'm so happy
Just finished my very first potato! I haven't followed a pattern since I was in my 20's, so feeling very chuffed with myself! (40 years on). Thank you. I would have been lost without your tutorial. Hopefully this is the first step back into the crochet world.
I am so happy I found this! I have a friend who loves potatoes and I just made this, following your tutorial, for her. I cannot wait to see what she thinks!
This tutorial is so easy to follow. I teach and want to make these potatoes to put in a corner of my class where children go to decompress. Im thinking of making little signs the potatoes could hold with quotes that inspire kids to reframe their negative thoughts. Thank you!!!
So cute. Easy to stitch. Unfortunately i already had my eyes un before you saud to do by the increases😂, but its ok. Great video. Thanks for sharing!❤❤
Manifesting for your account to grow and flourish! Thank you for providing steps and the written pattern! Followed your account and liked your video! Keep up the great work!
@@Taneenluvspink oh no! Is this your first project or have you crocheted before? If you are new to crochet check out hooked by robins tutorials for a tutorial of each of the stitches
@@MaciReeves I would laminate it and use a brown thread and sewing needle. I left mine separate because I wanted it to be washable so when I gift them I just put a little positive card in the gift
I love this sooo much! I have made 3. Your videos are so easy to follow. Thank you!! Any thoughts on making a video of candy corn? I am still learning and I struggle reading patterns.
Love this wee potato ❤ but its a bit fast for me. Do you have a pattern that I could print out? Being a beginner I find it easier to refer to something on paper. I find if I keep looking at it the pattern starts to make sense to me. I have books to learn the stitches so I'm ok with that 😊
Yes the written pattern is in the description box 🥰 Also, if you ever have a video that’s too fast, TH-cam has built in settings on the video you can slow down that way some.
Hi! Love the video but iI am stuck on 1:11 what strings does she get? I noticed she only had two in her hand and left one to the side, I can't figure out which one it was🤦♀
Hey! So during that part I was working on creating the magic ring to start the project. I don’t personally have a tutorial on the magic ring, but there are a lot of really good ones out there and it can be done so many ways. You also can just substitute that part for a slip knot if that is how you are used to starting your projects 😄 Hope this helps!
It would be perfectly fine just a little tighter and smaller. Personally I have grown in crochet skill recently and have gone as far down as a 3.25. The smaller the hook you use the less stuffing shows through, but the more skill it takes to work the stitches.
Yes! Just make sure you size down your hook. Are you wanting to use size three yarn? If so I would try a 2.75 mm hook and see if stuffing still shows through or not. Just know if you use a smaller yarn and hook you will be making a baby-tato instead of the size shown in the video ❤️
That is a very hard question to answer. It really depends on your ability to learn the stitches and techniques. I suggest a lighter color brown if this is your first project so you can see your stitches easier.
The tail should be weaved in on the inside of the potato so it isn’t visible from the outside. If you are right handed, you will know which is the outside because you will continue being able to crochet towards the left. Hope this helps! If not, try searching for explanations on the “right and wrong side of crochet” and you should be able to find more examples of figuring out the inside and outside of amigurumi.
@@Moss_and_paws there are TH-cam settings on the video that can slow the speed of the video. If you are new to crochet and haven’t done the stitches before there are many tutorials on how to do the individual stitches.

@@TheElfWar If you don’t know how to make a magic circle, feel free to use the chain two starting method. The very first thing I put on the screen was the stitches and terms you need to know to do this pattern. There are many crocheters who have made tutorials for how to do individual stitch methods. I myself am working on a crochet 101 course. The reason I don’t include how to do every stitch in every one of my tutorials is that it would more than double the tutorial time for everyone else.
@@TheElfWar I am really confused as to what circle you are asking about if it is not the magic circle/ring. I’m sorry my video didn’t work out for you. Hopefully you were able to find something that did.
Not sure why this video hasn’t gotten more likes and comments. It’s an easy pattern to follow and the potato turns out super cute!! Made one already.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support 🫶🏼
i was wondering the same. i just made one as a secret buddy gift, and now i have to make one for me too!!

Wonderful video❤
Thank you ❤️
I love this video i am subscribing now
Ty! At the end I had 25 stitches instead of 26 (cuz I messed up) but it still came out so cute!
This is adorable!!! Thank you 💝
I made this for my secret santa. Once they opened it , everyone was asking for one. It's so cute, I had to make one for myself too 😂
That’s amazing! I am sure they were in awe at your crochet skills 😁
Great tutorial-thank you!!!!
How could I attach a sign?
@@MaciReeves I would laminate it and use a brown thread and sewing needle. I left mine separate because I wanted it to be washable so when I gift them I just put a little positive card in the gift
@@MaciReeves thank you 🫶🏼
Thank you for your tutorial ! It took me 3 hours but I've done it 😂🥳
I’m glad you were able to finish it! I remember my first plushies took an insane amount of time too for what they were lol
Ty!! I made one like a month ago but my brother lost it so I made it again!! 💞💞
Great tutorial ❤
I’m glad it was helpful!
I just made this be it’s so cute
Very nice. Thank you. 😊
So cute and easy! I have a question, how do you attach the positive note?
With regular thread and a needle is how I would do it. Some people safety pin or use various glues
great video. how could i attach a little sign with the arms ? ive seen a pictures with the potato holding a sign
Once you have the printed sign, you could sew it on with a similar colored thread and needle, through the ends of the arms.
Her potato: :)
My potato: •_• but it still look cute 😊
I love this sooo much! I have made 3. Your videos are so easy to follow. Thank you!!
Any thoughts on making a video of candy corn? I am still learning and I struggle reading patterns.
I am definitely considering making some Halloween patterns! If I do, I will definitely share them!
Love this wee potato ❤ but its a bit fast for me. Do you have a pattern that I could print out? Being a beginner I find it easier to refer to something on paper. I find if I keep looking at it the pattern starts to make sense to me. I have books to learn the stitches so I'm ok with that 😊

Also, if you ever have a video that’s too fast, TH-cam has built in settings on the video you can slow down that way some.
Apologies for the late reply. Sometimes TH-cam is funky and doesn’t always alert.
I follow the transcript and write it down
Hi! Love the video but iI am stuck on 1:11 what strings does she get? I noticed she only had two in her hand and left one to the side, I can't figure out which one it was🤦♀
Hey! So during that part I was working on creating the magic ring to start the project.

Thank you!
I am following a printed copy as a beginner and need to know why X6 is repetitive please?
Im not sure I understand your question. Are you asking why I wrote it on each line?
I’m having a hard time finding a 4.25 mm hook but have a 4mm hook. What effect will that have on the outcome? Thanks!!
It would be perfectly fine just a little tighter and smaller. Personally I have grown in crochet skill recently and have gone as far down as a 3.25. The smaller the hook you use the less stuffing shows through, but the more skill it takes to work the stitches.
❤ thank you for the reply and Happy New Year!
A hilarious idea!
How big was he in the final product? Asking for a friend❤
I think 3-4 inches is a good estimate. Currently moving or I would go measure one for you 😁
Thank you! 😊
No problem! Thank you for being here!
Thank you :))
May I sell the finished potato at a small business thing?
Of course!
@@phoenixpwcraftingThanks!!! :)))))
Do you have a video of how to do the magic circle?
I don’t! I am going to do a series of the basics soon 🙂
Can I make this with small yarn
Yes! Just make sure you size down your hook. Are you wanting to use size three yarn? If so I would try a 2.75 mm hook and see if stuffing still shows through or not. Just know if you use a smaller yarn and hook you will be making a baby-tato instead of the size shown in the video ❤️
Just today I heard of this positive potato..what’s the story behind it? Just curious..
A lot of people make them as random acts of crochet kindness or as gifts.
Cool..I do something like that..pocket hugs and worry worms etc. where do you find the tags??
I made my own tags on Google docs. I just made a table and then typed in what I wanted my label to say.
do we have to weave in the end?
Yes your project will open if you do not
How long do you think it will take for someone who never did crochet? Thank for the video 😁
That is a very hard question to answer. It really depends on your ability to learn the stitches and techniques. I suggest a lighter color brown if this is your first project so you can see your stitches easier.
Thank you
After weaving the ends in, do I have to turn the potato back or continue working on that side?
The tail should be weaved in on the inside of the potato so it isn’t visible from the outside. If you are right handed, you will know which is the outside because you will continue being able to crochet towards the left. Hope this helps! If not, try searching for explanations on the “right and wrong side of crochet” and you should be able to find more examples of figuring out the inside and outside of amigurumi.
How much yarn did it roughly take for you to make these?
A very small amount. I don’t weigh my yarn, but I would imagine you could make 10+ from one skien of yarn at least
Can u write it down pls? Bc I want to put it on my notebook
It is in the description box
Ok thx
3 sec into the toturial.
me: what in the world is a magic loop??
had to search up how to do one XD
They are tricky 🤣 but so worth the more finished look than just doing the chain method.
Would I be able to sell items made with this pattern?
Of course!
@@phoenixpwcrafting thank you! Love the pattern. Made one last night. Super cute!
How long did this take you
Around 20-30 minutes!
Thanks
Are you yarning over?
I believe so
I always end up with 24 stitches after doing the arms, im so confused😭😭
Are you doing the two increases in the middle of the row?
❤
please ytb, I just want to crochet and not watch 2 ads and then skipping accidentally 1 second of the video to face another 2 ads T_T
Im sorry friend 😮💨 I hate when that happens
Idk about other people but I couldn’t get any done because I don’t know how to make a magic ring and she did it way too fast for me.
This is a crochet pattern 🙂
If you need a tutorial on how to crochet I suggest starting with hooked by robins tutorials
@@phoenixpwcrafting I know how to crochet I just don’t know how to make a magic ring🫤
If you are used to starting amigurumi with the chain 2 method you can use that instead.
@@phoenixpwcrafting thank you :)
Can you meet an emotional support pickle video 😊
Yes! It is in the works already 😁 I already have it written and it is going to be such a fast and easy tutorial! I am expecting it out on Friday ❤️
I tried it does not work
Can you be more specific on what you are struggling with because it is in fact a working pattern?
You were going way to fast for me to keep up with and I couldn’t do it:(

@phoenixpwcrafting I mean how do I make it curveing like a round shape
@@TheElfWarit is a technique called working in the round. You work in a continuous circle instead of chaining one at the beginning of each row.
Overall it was nice but u wear going fast so I could not really do but I did try
TH-cam has a feature on the settings to adjust video speed. May be helpful for any future video tutorials you attempt.
It's the first time ever for me and you're going way too fast! :(
Yes you need to know the stitches listed in the video. This is beginner friendly pattern, but it is not a tutorial for how to do crochet stitches.
