    I got confused because you went from having one Stich on the magic circle then you had this whole thing and I cant fingure out where to go from the second step lol but this was super helpful I’m going to keep trying!

      If you mean how I got from one single crochet to a bunch of them, I'm posting a full frog crochet tutorial soon and it'll go over everything from start to finish step-by-step so hopefully that will help you out!!

    Oh how cute! My best friend (since age 11) is a bee keeper in Maine. I love to crotchet, haven't tried plushy toys yet. I will have to make that bumblebee and send her a box full of them. She'd get a kick out of that. Thank you! 🐝💕

    I recommend doing loomigurumi before starting amigurumi because it’s basically the same thing but practicing loomigurumi will make it easier to understand amigurumi, I hope that makes sense. And this video was really helpful it makes it easier to understand, thanks

    I just want to say thank you! This was the first video that I really learned how to crochet. I have crocheting for around 1 year now. I feel like this is all from you! Seeing all of my recent projects compared to when I started is a dramatic difference! My most recent project is your bear pattern. I love it so much, I have made a few now! All I really want to say is thank you! So thank you!!!😊❤

      Try watching one of my plushie tutorials (any work for showing going from the magic circle to single crochet, but the frog or whale one mainly only use these five skills). They go from start to finish! This one I just meant to show the different skills as separate parts instead of having them flow into one another. In hindsight, I probably should have done a continuation. I’m sorry about the confusion

      It is very hard to make magic ring. Try make 2 x chain, and then make all needed sc in the first chain! It is chain, chain, and go back in the first chain poke it and make single crochet (if you need 6) just keep starting pokeing in the same chain six times
