I got confused because you went from having one Stich on the magic circle then you had this whole thing and I cant fingure out where to go from the second step lol but this was super helpful I’m going to keep trying!

I just want to say thank you! This was the first video that I really learned how to crochet. I have crocheting for around 1 year now. I feel like this is all from you! Seeing all of my recent projects compared to when I started is a dramatic difference! My most recent project is your bear pattern. I love it so much, I have made a few now! All I really want to say is thank you! So thank you!!!😊❤

Oh how cute! My best friend (since age 11) is a bee keeper in Maine. I love to crotchet, haven't tried plushy toys yet. I will have to make that bumblebee and send her a box full of them. She'd get a kick out of that. Thank you! 🐝💕

I recommend doing loomigurumi before starting amigurumi because it’s basically the same thing but practicing loomigurumi will make it easier to understand amigurumi, I hope that makes sense. And this video was really helpful it makes it easier to understand, thanks
