Amigurumi Style Alphabet

Amigurumi Style Alphabet (lower case)
You will need:
Abbreviations:
3 mm crochet hook
Sewing needle
Double knit yarn of your choice
Poly fibre toy stuffing
ch chain
sc single crochet
FO fasten off
rnd round
dec sc2tog
st - stitch
sl st slip stitch
inc 2sc in the same stitch
Notes:
I have work in US terminology. For UK terminology substitute double crochet where I have used sc. All pieces are
worked in the round as a continuous spiral. Use a stitch marker to help you know where the round began, moving if
along the piece as you go. Some patterns are used for more than one letter. You may wish to help some of the
letters hold their shape with a piece of garden wire or pipe cleaner , although I have not done so. The instructions
within two asterisks (*) denote to repeat those instructions. The numbers in brackets at the end of a set of instructions
denotes how many stitches you should have at the end of that round. Ive broken down the letters into simple
components which are then sewn together.
