Look at those oversized feet and her little striped tail feathers. I’ve never seen a hen wearing a shawl before, but I think they all need one now! How sweet. Victor Frog – I’ve made Victor Frog more times than I can count. I’ve made him in the traditional way, but I also transitioned to making him a her and putting a tutu on her. You can find the tutorial for that here: How to Add a Tutu to Amigurumi Toys. I still have the original Victor Frog I made but I gave away and sold all the rest. The book has a star system rating for each pattern for level of difficulty. One star is the easiest and three stars is the most difficult There’s a general rule for amigurumi that you should always go down two crochet hook sizes from the recommended hook size on the yarn label.

Pedro Von Ditto Pig – this became one of my favorite projects ever. I enjoyed making this little pig so much and continued to make him and also making a girl version with a tut as well. I so wish that I had kept one of these little guys and gals! The star rating is a very helpful tool for beginners to help choose which patterns will likely be a bit easier and mored difficult to crochet. Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 Tips Hector Rhinocerous – this was one of my favorite projects as well. So much so that I ended up keeping her. I love the colors I chose for this project in those baby pastels. So cute.Yan explains that she did some experimenting with her tension to get nice size stitches, but that it was causing her hand pain. She eventually started going down on her hook size until she found what felt comfortable as well as looked nice. Her goal was to never have stuffing showing through. Crochet Hook Material She went on to explain a test she made using yarn over vs yarn under. She made two circles, one with yarn over and one with yarn under, using the same yarn and hook.

Yan goes on to explain that a toy made with the yarn under technique will be a little longer, less wide and less squishy. Yarn Over Some of these come directly from the book and others are tips that I have developed over the past five years crocheting these patterns. Yarn UnderOne of the biggest differences you will find in the Pica Pau patterns is that Yan Schenkel uses yarn under instead of yarn over to make single crochets. There’s also quite a difference when making color changes. The X-shape is much like a square, like a pixel, and sometimes these stitches seem to align better.
