July 23, 2010, Newsletter Issue #105: The Look of Amigurumi

Tip of the Week

I love the look of amigurumi, it almost looks like knitting, especially if you are crocheting single crochet stitches in the round.  How to get that look when crocheting back and forth?  I just recently found out that some people were taught to crochet by inserting their hook from back to front rather than from front to back, which is considered the standard way of crocheting.  So, if you crochet a row from front to back, then on the next row, switch to back to front, and continue alternating the rows, your finished piece should look like you didn't turn the work when you actually did!
