How did you do the hair? the utube is gone. How many 18 inch strands do you start with? They say halved is 6 strands – but it has to be way more than 3 18 inch stands. Help please
Hello Kaye! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
I’m a very much so beginner at this amigurumi and this angel didn’t turn out too bad!
Crocheted this angel, but she doesn’t stand up straight. I removed the fiberfil and I’m trying to think of what I can put in the bottom to weigh the bottom down so she will stand up. Suggestions?
I use regular marbles or the flat glass drops from the dollar store! Five or six helps give some weight so your project doesn’t tip over.
In round 5 when you join at the end of the round do you go through the back loop only there also or both loops?
