TECHNIQUES YOU'LL USE
• Chain Stitch (ch) — The foundation of almost everything — a simple chain of loops that starts most projects.
• Slip Stitch (sl st) — The shortest stitch, used to join rounds and move across stitches invisibly.
• Single Crochet (sc) — The tightest basic stitch — the workhorse of amigurumi and dense fabrics.
• Half Double Crochet (hdc) — A medium-height stitch that works up faster than single crochet with a soft drape.
• Double Crochet (dc) — A tall, fast stitch that gives blankets and garments their airy feel.
• Treble Crochet (tr) — An extra-tall stitch used for open, lacy fabrics.
• Magic Ring — An adjustable loop that lets you start working in the round with no hole in the centre.
• Increase (inc) — Two stitches worked into one — how flat circles and 3D shapes grow.
• Invisible Decrease (dec) — A decrease worked through the front loops so it disappears into amigurumi fabric.
• Working in the Round — Crocheting in a continuous spiral or joined rounds instead of back-and-forth rows.
• Changing Colors — Swapping yarn colours mid-project for clean stripes and colour blocks.
• Bobble Stitch — Several stitches closed together into one plump, raised bump of texture.
• Puff Stitch — Loops pulled up and gathered into a soft, pillowy cluster.
• Shell Stitch — Fans of tall stitches worked into one spot for a scalloped, decorative fabric.

CHART SYMBOLS
• Chain (ch) — An open oval — each one is a chain stitch.
• Slip stitch (sl st) — A filled dot — join or travel, no height.
• Single crochet (sc) — A plus or × — the short, dense stitch.
• Half double (hdc) — A T — one yarn over, no crossbar.
• Double crochet (dc) — A T with one crossbar — one for each yarn over.
• Treble (tr) — A T with two crossbars — taller again.
• Increase — Symbols sharing one base V — two stitches in one.
• Decrease — Symbols joined at the top — stitches closed together.
• Magic ring — A ring at the chart's center — start here, spiral out.
