What size hook do you use? I want to make a large pill shaped amigurumi but I only have worsted weight acrylic yarn. Should I do double strand? Please reply soon.
Hi Jasmine! In this video I'm using a 3.5mm (US E / UK 9) hook and a yarn that is, more or less the same weight as worsted weight yarn. To make a bigger shape you can either increase for more rounds at the beginning (if you want a wider shape) and/or work more rounds without increasing or decreasing (if you want a longer shape). Or, as you say, you can double the strand, but in that case I would recommend working with a bigger hook like a 5mm (US H/ UK 6) hook. Hope it helps! If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask! Thank you! =)
