@@HookedbyRobin oh gosh, I went to your channel and found it right away this time. 😅🤦🏻‍♀️ sorry and thanks again!! 💖

[@netgrl2008]

Also another tip........ double up on yarn! This is what I do lol. Sometimes you never know how big the difference is going to be! It's a surprise! ☺

[@HookedbyRobin]

😅

[@fairymomma3506]

Great Tip!! Sometimes its easier to get it tighter than the super bulky velour yarns.

[@Lils.batcave]

How do you double up on yarn?

[@netgrl2008]

@@Lils.batcave just use two pieces of yarn as if it were one 👍

[@lostnthought]

so you mean to almost double the length of the original amount needed for the “original” smaller sized ones ? 😭

I accidentally discovered this 'trick' when I ended up with a jellyfish 10 times bigger than my trial one 😅

😂 it took LOADS omg lol

[@ashleymccanncan]

Pvv 0. P0pppppp 0 p p.

[@absolutelydegenerate1900]

if you tear it up and fluff it you can get a little more milage out of polyfill. You've gotta be patient enough to keep "tearing" and fluffing thought.

@@HookedbyRobin this is why i stick to small projects

[@sunflowerstitches4886]

Thank you so much!!😊 this is so helpful because sometimes I struggle upscaling some designs, but I never really thought to change the yarn and the hook.😁 You are amazing

[@HookedbyRobin]

This is an easy cheat! 😀

[@shadowz2501]

@@HookedbyRobin halo, I hope you will reply to me as soon as possible. I try to make a big bunny with bulky yarn and original pattern (which is small bunny). But, the head of my bunny don't look good, instead of "CIRCLE" it looks like "RECTANGLE"🤣🤣🤣

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

This is how I taught myself amigurumi. I used blanket yarn and a ig hook!

[@kieranlyon1643]

I actually like acrylic yarn over chenille, so I double or triple yarn sometimes. You can also scale up the pattern... But you should only do that if you're well-versed enough to write your own patterns.

[@takiiyaki.]

I’m trying to do the big chunky one but I’m having trouble seeing where the stitches are...😅 But I’m trying my best!! Oh and btw I’ve made an octopus like a month ago!! It turned out sooo good, thank you for the tutorial!!

You have to feel the V shape with your fingers

I've been desperately looking for somthing that would use 3 balls of bernat blanket yarn (I was dumb and didnt realize how much yardage you actually needed for a blanket!) This is perfeeeeeect!! Thank you ♡

[@Lisareads72]

Better to buy too much though than not enough! 😊

[@nya-linbrooksmendez6735]

I haven't done this for amigurumi, but I've done it when crocheting and it rings true. When you do the same patterns, but with different yarn and/or different hook size. The project does get larger😋.

[@HookedbyRobin]

Exactly Nya-Lin.😃🧶

[@amietheslothmaster3597]

OMG your giant octopus is so flipping cute!!

[@HookedbyRobin]

He's HUGE and really heavy too 😂🐙

[@amietheslothmaster3597]

I have a question, if I bought one ball of big fluffy yarn, would that be enough for the big octopus?

[@HookedbyRobin]

I used 2 and a half balls of the SUPER fat yarn (the Cygnet Scrumpaclious) with a 9mm Hook - for the 2 smaller ones, 1 ball is enough 🙂

[@amietheslothmaster3597]

Thanks!

[@minhos_lostairfryer6817]

Can you do a tutorial on how to crochet a amigurumi Apple that would mean so much and thank you ☺️😃

[@Hanisbooknook]

What size crochet hook should I use for super chunky yarn? It states a 10-12mm one, so should I use 8mm or 8.5mm crochet hook or another size? I know a smaller size is preferable for crocheting, but I don’t know how much smaller to go. Love the vids too though 💚.

Very nice 👌
