ng amigurumi is a great way to _c sił your leftover yarn. Choose srs sanilar to minę, or be creatiye : setne up with your own color is!

Rsople often ask how many toys u can make from one 100-gram skein ■orsted-weight yarn. While it varies. rcenrtng on the paltem and how ftfy you crochet. I can usually get two three sets of the larger animals. and ary many smali toys from just one OOgram skein of main color. Of course ' need other colors for some body and embellishments.

The measuremenls given for each toy are approximate and based on the way I crochet. I crochet pretty tightly, and my gauge is as follows:

4    sts and 5 rows = 1" with 6 hook and worsted-weight yarn

5    sts and 6 rows = 1" with F hook and worsted-weight yarn

The tinished toy size. howeyer. isnt really that important. so don’t worry If your gauge is different than minę. Depending on your tension and the yarn you use, your toys might end up being a little bit smaller or larger than the ones I madę. Changlng to a bigger or smaller hook will give you a bigger or smaller toy. respectively.
