I recommend starting with 4-weight, non-textured yarn for better visibility while practicing. Hook: Any hook is fine, but for 4-weight yarn I suggest sizes F, G, or H for tighter stitches that hold shape and stuffing better. (Go 2+ sizes down from the label recommendation for amigurumi to prevent stuffing from poking through.) Stuffing: Poly-Fil, plastic beads, rice, or beans Scissors 📄 Helpful Diagrams: Diagram 1 ▶ https://bit.ly/4nRTgn2 Diagram 2 ▶ https://bit.ly/46IEwk6 🙋‍♀️ Find Me At: ⭐ Facebook: Crochet with Tiffany Hansen ⭐ Instagram: @crochetwithtiffany ⭐ Pinterest: Crochet with Tiffany Hansen ⭐ Etsy Shop: Crochet Tiffany Hansen ⭐ Email: info@crochetwithtiffany.com 📬 Happy Mail: P.O.
