Special Stitch Explanation

Invdec
This is a good way of decreasing in amigurumi when you need a tight, smooth fabric as this technique will
eliminate bumps and holes in the fabric and will, as its name suggests, be almost completely invisible.
Insert hook into front loop only of first stitch, do not wrap yarn, insert hook into front loop only of next
stitch. You will now have a total of three loops on your hook. Wrap your yarn around hook and pull through
both of the 2 front loops on the hook, wrap yarn around hook again and pull through last 2 loops on hook.

Color Changing
Make all color changes in the last 2 loops of the final stitch of the old color.

Tips for Neater Color Changing (Optional)

1.
too tight or it will be difficult to crochet into in the next round)
2. On narrow stripes (1-2 rounds), add 1 extra stitch of the old color to the end of every color change
round (move marker up a stitch to reflect new start of round). This extra stitch will help to counteract
the shortness of the slip stitch that replaced the single crochet.

Color Change Ends
Tie off and trim your color change ends as you go. Tie securely on the inside of your work. With amigurumi
crochet it can be difficult to reach the ends once you have crocheted too many rows above.
For repeating stripes carry the unused color up the inside of the work to save keep cutting and re-tying.

Embroidered Stitches and Yarn Ends

To hide the starting and fastening off ends of embroidered stitches, first thread your yarn needle with the
appropriate yarn. Tie a knot in the end of your yarn and push needle into and out of toy between crochet
stitches, coming out where you want the first embroidery stitch to be. As you pull on the yarn the polyester
toy filling will catch the knot securely inside the toy. When you have worked the required embroidery
stitches you can finish off by passing the needle in and out between different crochet stitches a few times
until the yarn is securely caught up in the polyester filling. When secure, pull on end of yarn and snip off
close to toy. Hide the ends of any yarn tails inside the work in the same way when you have finished sewing
the pieces together.

Stitch Marker Use

Place marker in first stitch of each round. Move marker up with each completed round.

Stitch Placement
Work in both loops of the stitch unless specified otherwise.

To finish each Wing:
With right sides facing outwards, match Wing Panel 1 with Wing Panel 2. Starting with the
feathers, oversew the edges of Rnd 7 together (fig.12) then sew the back loops only of Rnd 6
together (these will be the loops closest to each other) (figs.13-14). Place the wings at either
side of the body so the top of the wings are between Rnds 12 and 13 with the longest feather
at the top and all feathers pointing backwards. You can rotate the wings so that the feathers
are angled downwards, upwards or horizontally depending on your preference. Once happy
with the position sew the rounded part of each Wing to the Body using parallel stitches first
into the Body (fig.15) then into the Wing just underneath the leftover loops from where you
sewed the two sides together (fig.16). Pull firmly each time you make a stitch so that the
leftover loops will lie snugly next to the body. Do not sew down the part with the Feathers
attached (figs.17-18).

Bower Seat

Drinking straws used to stuff the Struts

Note: You will need 4 lengths of something stiff to stuff the crocheted tubes of the Twig Struts with. I used
3 plastic straws that were 8 mm) in diameter and 8 ½ for the seat and another straw
cut cm) for the top of the Bower Seat. You could use pieces of dowel, unsharpened pencils,
tightly rolled thin card or anything else suitable if you prefer. A tube of 8 sc fitted my straws perfectly but if
you are using something slightly thicker or thinner then adjust the stitch count by one or two until you get a
comfortable fit.

Rnd 2 [(Slst, 5 ch, slst) in next st] 6 times (figs.47-48). (6 petals made)
Fasten off, leaving a long yarn tail for sewing. Weave in all other yarn ends neatly of back of
work then use finishing yarn tail to sew a Flower each side of the Bower Seat just in front of
the Hanging Cords. Sew the third Flower to the front of the Hanging Strut, slightly off-center.
The Bower Seat can now either be hung on a wall balanced on a nail or hook at either end (in
which case adjust the position of the top of the Hanging cords until the front cord is slightly
longer and the seat is horizontal) or you could make a third hanging cord 40 ch long and tie the
yarn tails to either ends of the top of the Hanging Strut m the ends (fig.49).
