I can’t wait to make these, my sister once got an apple tree cat scratcher for her cat Mr Neo and it’s looking a bit worse for wear. His “wapples” are all missing so I can now make him some more wapples and all will be right in the world again 🍎🐈⬛❤️
Hey! I get gaps sometimes when decreasing, too. Here's what I do: 1. Invisible decrease: This is the kind of decrease you can see me working in the video, where you single crochet two stitches together. It helps hide gaps, but there's a good chance you're already doing this! 2. Be sure not to over-stuff: Too much stuffing can stretch your work, and makes large gaps appear around the decrease section. I also try to add stuffing before the last decreases, but you can try adding some before you begin your first decrease round. This helps keep the stitches tight! 3. Hook size: I use worsted weight yarn (Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn!" or Red Heart) and a 4mm hook. However, not all worsted weight yarn is created equal, and we all have a unique tension when we crochet. I'd say if you've tried the two tips above but still have large holes when decreasing, try sizing down a half size on your hook. Chances are your yarn is a little thinner or your tension is a little loose with the hook size you're currently working with! 4. Yarn under single crochet decrease: Try yarning under for your decrease stitches. It creates a tighter fabric and may help with the gaps. I've very recently switched to yarning under for all of my amigurumi projects (recently enough that it's not shown here in this video!) and have had to size my hook size UP because the stitches are that much tighter. Hope these tips help out! Thanks for watching!
Hey! Good question - a magic loop is a common way to start crocheting in the round. Some folks also will tie a slip knot, chain 2 stitches, and then place the first round of single crochet stitches inside that slip knot. Hope that helps!

Oh my gosh I'm so honored! I hope he likes his "wapples!" 🥺❤️
I love making these but there’s real big holes wherever I decrease, any tips?
