In reply to Sue Nason. Hi Sue, Sorry to hear it's not turning out as you would like. It might be that the hook is too large for the yarn, I tend to size down my hook from the recommended size on the yarn packet as amigurumi tends to favour a smaller hook size. I'd grab a hook that's 1mm or even 2mm smaller and make up a little sample to see if that's the cause. Hope that helps!

I’ve done body using standard SC stitch but despite doing stitch as tight as possible, it’s very holey and shows the stuffing. Should we be using the tighter method? I’m wondering about yarn underu yarn under method, rather than yo-yo. What do suggest to avoid holes.

In reply to Bernardette Nicholson. Thank goodness, I'm not an experienced crocheter of toys and it's took me ages and many undoing and repeating rows before I figured out what was wrong!! If only I'd read your comment hours ago!!

In reply to Mary Parkes.

Hi Mary,

You can find a conversion chart here: https://lucykatecrochet.com/crochet-conversion-charts

The pattern requires in UK (metric) terms a 2.5mm and 4.5mm crochet hook. In US terms these are a size 4 and a size 7.

In UK terms a 2.5mm is confusingly also sometimes called a size 12!

I hope this helps,

Lucy Kate
