There are a kajillion tutorials out there showing you how to start amigurumi. (My favorite is the sloppy slip knot.)
And there are several showing how to single crochet.
But that’s where many of them seem to stop.
And a lot of people have questions about what comes next.
How do you crochet the second round of amigurumi? The trick for a lot of people is finding the first stitch of the round.
That’s what Stacey shows you here.
See? The trick is in counting your stitches. 🙂 Once you have that down, the rest is easy as pie!

Happy stitching!
OMG SO HELPFUL! My first amigurumi pattern was for a lovey and it had me slip stitching each round together and then my next one didn’t say to but I figured maybe a different person made the pattern and you just had to do my counts were all off and it was a mess! This saved me! I searched for helpful amigurumi tips because I didn’t know how to word it (self-taught) and I finally found this! ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏
Thank you for this! The problem I’m having is that the pattern I’m doing has “work in back loop only” for the 3rd and 4th round. Does that mean I’m meant to work into both loops for the rest? It would be awesome if you could help – I’m so stuck! Thanks 🙂
Yes.
are you going in the back loop only?
Yes.
