Crocheting Part 4: The Body

In this video tutorial, Veronica will guide you through the process of crocheting Part 4 of the secret amigurumi - the body. Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we will need for this project.

Materials Needed

• Yarn (color of your choice)
• Crochet hook
• Stitch markers
• Yarn needle
• Fiberfill or stuffing material

Make sure you have all the necessary materials ready before starting the crocheting process. Once you have everything prepared, let's move on to the basic crochet stitches we'll be using in this tutorial.

Basic Crochet Stitches Used

Before we start crocheting the body, it's important to familiarize ourselves with the basic crochet stitches that will be used in this tutorial. The main stitches you should know are:

1. Chain stitches
2. Single crochets
3. Decreases

If you're already familiar with these stitches, great! If not, don't worry. Veronica will explain each step along the way to ensure you're able to follow along and create your own amigurumi masterpiece.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that we have the materials ready and have a basic understanding of the stitches used, let's dive into the step-by-step instructions for crocheting the body of our secret amigurumi. We'll break the process down into several sections for easier understanding.

6.1. Continuing from the Legs

In the previous video, we created a pair of legs for our amigurumi. Now, let's continue from where we left off in the last video. Make sure the yarn is still attached to the second leg.

6.2. Crocheting the First Row

To begin the body, we will first make five chain stitches. Then, we will jump over to the first leg and continue crocheting 25 single crochets around this leg. Once completed, we will crochet five single crochets in the chains. This will form the foundation of our amigurumi's body.

6.3. Crocheting the Body Rows

For the next 11 rows, we will crochet a total of 60 single crochets on each row. This will help add height to our amigurumi's body. Follow along with Veronica as she demonstrates each step in the video.

6.4. Adding Height to the Body

After completing the 11 rows, our amigurumi's body will have enough height. We will now focus on decreasing the stitches to give our amigurumi a tapered shape.

6.5. Decreasing the Stitches

To decrease the stitches, we will follow a specific pattern. We will crochet a row with eight single crochets and one decrease, repeating this pattern six times. This will help reduce the number of stitches and create a narrower shape for the body. Veronica will guide you through each step.

6.6. Finishing the Body

Once the desired decrease rows are completed, we will finish off the body with two rows of single crochets. This will provide stability and create a clean edge. Finally, we will cut off the yarn, leaving approximately 30 centimeters, and secure the loop. The body is now complete and ready to be stuffed.
