Geez,
You know what's sad; finally getting over my knitting faze and getting into crocheting; but knowing nor understanding how to make amigurumis. I mean, I found a small tutorial on youtube; then went through the wonderful resources our guild has. I just don't get it!
Can someone, anyone clarafy how you guys make your amigurumi? I can't seem to even make a round correctly ; ;. It's depressing lol.
-I'm just on sad crocheter ;_______________________:

Magic rings are a great way to start amigurumi. (I'm just a beginner, but I think I have okay advice. =] ) This might help a bit. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=177269.0There was a better one, but the url isn't working. scream Other than that I know there are some good links in the crochet help subforum. 3nodding I'm sorry about your PC. That sucks. sad

I agree, I always start with a magic loop (or ring or whatever you want to call it) and then it's pretty much single crochet around and around. Most of the time you will start by putting 6 sc in the magic loop. Then you will put 2 sc in each sc around - without joining rounds, just keep going in a spiral. Then you increase from there according to your pattern.
Are you trying to follow a particular pattern? Where exactly are you getting confused, maybe we can walk you through it.

Well, My bfs grandmother taught me how to make a circle, but in double crochet. See at first I followed this tutorial on youtube, but eh, i got lost after god knows how many tries.
It's just the overall start, I think it just takes practice right?
I was trying those patterns from mr. Funkys super crochet...

My first magic circle loked like a train wreck!! I couldn't even tell what stitches were where, ha.
I suppose it is just a practicing type of thing. You could chain two, then single crochet 6 times into the second chain from the needle. That could work to.
