like what kind of crohet stick do you need/ size

usually the pattern you are following will tell you what size hook to use. like this pattern http://stitch.hellooperator.net/free-patterns/amigurumi-doll/calls for 3mm and 3.5 mm hooks. i think it's common to need more than one size hook to complete a project like this. here is another good crochet website

I've been searching and searching, but I can't seem to find one.

I'd never heard of this, but I love to crochet, so I'm glad I saw your question.

I did a quick Clusty search using the word "amigurumi," and here's a sample of what I found:

Have fun!

Amigurumi is very, very similar to regular crochet. You use the same stitches, tools and techniques.

The only real difference between the two is that in amigurumi you usually use a smaller hook than you would for regular crochet with a given yarn. So if the yarn label says to use a an 8mm hook, you'd use a 6mm or something similar. Using an undersized hook allows you to make a stiffer and tighter fabric to hold in the stuffing of the body parts for your doll. You can use the given hook size for creating parts that will not be stuffed like clothes and accessories.

In amigurumi you can often get away with using cheaper acrylic yarns. Since an amigurumi isn't going to be worn, it doesn't have to be cuddly soft. These less expensive yarns come in lots of colors, make a nice stiff fabric for shaping dolls, and are easily available. Of course you can make an amigurumi out of cashmere yarn if your heart desires, but you'll often have the same or better luck with a less expensive yarn.

I don’t even know how to crochet yet.

You’ll need to pick up basic crochet skills and then you can take off. You can get lots of basic crochet instruction on the net, or just go to your local library. Play around a little, and learn how patterns are written, and then you can start.
You can also check around to see if there are informal crochet or knitting groups that meet at local libraries, coffee shops, or homes; people there will be happy to help you and may even already have materials or patterns they can lend or give you.

Here are some great Easter and springtime amigurumi patterns for you to create for yourself as decorations or for that special little one in your life for Easter gifts.

The only problem is that I have no idea how to construct an amigurumi double ring. Would anyone tell me how to to construct one, or give me a link to instructions for this?

Thanks so much.

its in the 1st coulmn under the second set of instructions, where it tells you how to make the pac man itself
