Choosing material for crocheting toys

• Yarn. If this is your first or one of the first projects, you should not experiment with textured yarn. Choose regular smooth threads - acrylic or cotton. The thickness can be any; the thicker the yarn, the larger the toy will be.
• Hook. Take a hook one number thinner than what is given in the thread recommendations. The fabric for the toy should be very dense. Due to this, the toy will keep its shape well, and the filler will not show through.
• Filler. Use padding polyester or holofiber.
• Needle for stitching material.

Rules for crocheting toys

• To ensure that the fabric is dense and the filler does not come out through the holes, take a hook a size smaller than indicated for this yarn.
• Crochet toys are crocheted in a spiral. One row goes into another without connecting posts and air loops at the end and beginning of the row.
• You need to knit on both sides of the loop. The exception is when another method is indicated in the description.
• Knit as tightly as possible so that the future toy keeps its shape well.
• Do not use cotton wool as a filler. The toy must be stuffed with holofiber or padding polyester.
• Knit all parts of the toy in separate parts, then sew them together. The exception is the author's idea, when the head-body or body-legs represent one whole.
• Sew with the same thread used for knitting. This will make the seam almost invisible.
• Hide the ends of the threads inside the toy using a thin hook with a sharp tip.
• For additional accessories, prepare beads, buttons, purchased noses and eyes, leftover leather, felt, wire or fishing line.
• You can tint parts of the toy acrylic paint or ordinary decorative cosmetics.
