If you’re into Japanese crafts, you’ve probably at least seen photos of Japanese amigurumi books (if you haven’t, check these out). They’re beautiful, and the dolls are adorable. Amigurumi means "knitted or crocheted doll" in Japanese. Here’s everything you wanted to know about amigurumi but couldn’t find out because you don’t read Japanese:

* Amigurumi, Deconstructed
Tips and tricks about how to make some fab dolls
* Amigurumi Double Ring
A photo tutorial on how to start working in the round without making a hole (similar to the Magic Adjustable Ring, but different)
* Assembling Amigurumi
A photo tutorial on attaching the head and body of amigurumi dolls.
* Amigurumi Dude Pattern
Make your own amigurumi dude.
* Gallery of Amigurumi Dudes
Crochet me designers went nuts making their own dudes, all from the same pattern. Want to share photos of your own Amigurumi Dudes? Join the Flickr group.

I’m trying to learn how to make amigurumi but I’m feeling very discouraged. I know basic stitches (i think) but whenever I try to start the spiral I end up with a knot. I can’t even figure out how to do the first step (ch 2, 5 sc in second ch from hook) help please!

Man, this is so hard to describe over the internet! Have you ever made rounds before? Most of what you are doing with amigurumi is shaping the body of your creature by making a round, increasing and decreasing to make the different features. It seems like a really wussy way to answer the question, but the truth is that someone who knows how to do it could show you in thirty seconds what I can’t even find a single really good website to try to show you!

This "for dummies" one is the diagram best I can find. It is pretty much how my Mom taught me.

Also, there is a really awesome video on Youtube:

I sincerely hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is to try to figure out things on your own. Every new crocheter really needs a coach to get them started!

There, are, btw, some really cute free patterns on the lion brand website. You have to sign up, but they are free.

Good luck!

The instructions say:
Round 2 – 2sc in each sc around
Round 3 – *2sc in next sc, sc in next sc* repeat 6 times
Round 4 – *2sc in next sc, sc in next 2sc* repeat 6 times

What does it mean by repeat 6 times?

How do you do 2sc in a sc?
By "repeat 6 times", does it just mean to repeat that around that round, or make 6 rounds using those instructions?

It means you single crochet two times in a single crochet.

Round 2 – you would single crochet two times in each stitch (2 sc in each sc), leaving you with twice as many stitches in round 2 as you had in round 1.

Round 3 – you would make 2 scs in the first stitch (2sc in next sc), then make 1 sc in the next, so for every 2 stitches you’d make 3 single crochets.

Round 4 – make 2 scs in the first stitch, single crochet stitch in the next two stitches.

Repeat six times means that you repeat the pattern 6 times.

It will be very helpful for you to read a guide explaining basic stitches.
