A Note about Gauge: For those of you who do not understand how gauge works, or are looking to learn more on the
subject, I have written a very helpful blog on gauge that has proved helpful when trying to figure out how big/small of a
hook/yarn to use. If you still need help after you ve browsed this, please let me know and I will try to help in any way that
I can. http://articlesofadomesticgoddess.com/2014/05/matching-gauge-and-why-it-is-so-important/
A Note about Technique (The Golden Loop Method): This is not just for amigurumi items; it will help in ALL areas where
crochet is involved. (Although, it helps most with amigurumi because of the nature of tight stitching.) I know I often hear
of people having trouble  making their stitches tight enough or they frequently have problems matching gauge (even if
their items turn out okay on sizing, it doesn t necessarily mean there isn t improvement to be made.) I too had many
problems when learning to create amigurumi objects when I first started out. I have written a helpful blog that should
help to pinpoint the areas that need improvement so that you, too, can create beautiful amigurumi items. There is
ALWAYS room for improvements to be made, no matter how long you have been crocheting. Later, you will notice that all
items are improved by using this easy method! If you still need help after you ve browsed this, please let me know and I
will try to help in any way that I can. http://articlesofadomesticgoddess.com/2014/04/amigurimi-technique-that-will-
always-work-and-will-change-the-way-you-crochet-forever/
Abbreviations:
A Note about Stitches: When I first started, I had to look up stitches every time I started a new project. I have
compiled some of the videos and articles I used to walk me through the basic stitches (and some others) in a
blog on my website. They are the best I ve found around the internet, all compiled in one spot for ease.

on-the-internet-for-learning-to-crochet/
MC - Magic Circle For a tutorial on the magic circle, visit my blog at the following link:
http://articlesofadomesticgoddess.com/2014/03/magic-circle-tutorial/
CH - Chain
ST; STS - Stitch or stitches
SC - Single Crochet
SC2TOG  Single Crochet 2 together
HDC - Half Double Crochet
DC - Double Crochet
TR  Treble Crochet
SLST - Slip Stitch
FO - Fasten Off
X after a number = number of stitches to work in after current stitch (ex: sc 2X = sc in next two stitches)
Tips:
Ch 1, 2 or 3 turning chains at the beginning of the row do not count as first st.
Always place the first stitch in the pattern after the turning ch in same st as the turning ch. Chains at the beginning of the
round serve solely for filler purposes, so that a large hole is not left in the piece.
Disclaimer: Articles of a Domestic Goddess Seat Belt Travel Pals are NOT crash tested. They are not meant
to be used by infants in carriers or children who are still in seats which utilize a strap that is
connected to a car seat. The only safe way to utilize these is for children who are in upright
seats or boosters in which their safety strap is the actual vehicle seat belt strap. They are meant
to be used only to cover a seat belt in a vehicle, NOT on a car seat strap. This is an unsafe
practice. Do not attempt to use seat belt covers to prevent chaffing from seat belts. If seat belt is
rubbing or chaffing then it is being used improperly and seat may need to be reinstalled or
repositioned to ensure a better fit.
