Extra (shifting) stitch

Very often, the “extra stitch” confuses crafters.
In fact, everything is simple.
You can ignore the extra stitch altogether and work according to the pattern, but then the part
may turn out to be a little wry. These are features of crocheting in a spiral.
In order to avoid curve, in addition to the round that we finished, crochet 1 or 2 sc of the next
round and do not count them, but simply move the marker 1 or 2 sc to the left!
I.e. the extra stitch is always the first stitch of the round (work like a regular sc).
Please note that the extra stitch is not included in the total number of stitches!
When using an extra stitch, work with a marker. This will make it easier for you to determine
when and how many extra stitches to use.
The extra stitch is needed to ensure all bulges on the toy are in the right place.
This stitch is especially necessary when crocheting difficult toys, when there are a lot of
increases in one place, and in the next round there are more increases and the description
says that they should be above the previous ones.
Stitch marker
Thread
With a thread, I mark the first stitch of the round.
When we reach the end of the round, do not need to crochet the marked stitch, because we
have already worked it, as the first.
After finishing the round to the end (the thread marked the 1st stitch of the same round),
threw the thread, which we use as a marker and crochet the first stitch of the new round.
The picture clearly shows how the thread marker should look like.
At the end, you simply pull out the thread and done!
Thread in a contrasting color

Each toy consists mainly of parts that are crocheted in a spiral, and this is where the marker
is needed.
• A marker usually marks the beginning of rounds.
7
• A marker marks important places on the part, for example, where to sew on eyes,
arms, etc.
Color change
• Before changing color, do not finish the last stitch, leave 2 loops on the hook.
• Take a thread of a different color, use a hook to pull it through 2 loops.
• Work the round in a new color as usual in a spiral.

STUFFING
Toys should be well and firmly stuffed. In the description there are always notes, whether we
stuff the part tightly or do not stuff at all.
Dense stuffing helps keep the shape of the part well.

Depending on what crocheting technique you have, the stuffing of the toy will also depend.
If you crochet loosely and there are holes in the fabric, then try to stuff it not very tightly, as
the fiberfill will be visible.
Stuff the toy gradually, as you go.

Scissors or wooden sticks will help you stuff it.
Since we have frame toys, we begin to stuff after we have inserted the wire. The fiberfill is
evenly distributed over the entire part around the wire.
FINISHING
The pattern always indicates what we are doing with a working yarn.
In some parts, tighten the hole and cut the yarn.
In others parts, cut the yarn, fasten off and hide it, or maybe cut the yarn, fasten off and leave
a long end for sewing.
• How to secure the working yarn

1. Work the round to the end
2. Cut the yarn (be sure to look whether you need to leave the end for sewing or not)
3. Thread the hook into the loop
4. Pull out the working thread.
9
• How to pull off the hole to close
1. After the parts are done, cut the yarn, leaving the end 10 cm long.
2. Take a needle with a large eye, thread the end into the needle.
3. Grab the front loop of each stitch with a needle and pull the thread through.
4. Pull the yarn end.
5. Insert the needle into the middle of the tightened hole.
6. Exit it through the opposite side.
7. Cut off the excess.
10
WIRE FRAME FOR THE LEGS.
You will need:
• Galvanized steel wire with a diameter of 1-1.5 mm,
about 4 m long;
• Adhesive bandage 3 cm wide for wrapping the wire
and insulating sharp ends;
• Wire cutters.
Make the frame in the process of crocheting the toy.

Legs wire frame:
Cut two pieces of wire so that each is about 2 times longer than the crocheted
part - they will create a frame for the legs.
1. Take a piece 90 cm long. Fold it in half and twist.

2. Fold over one side of each of the leg pieces to form a support for the foot, as
shown in photo.
3. Bend and isolate the sharp end of the wire with adhesive plaster.
4. Insert the wire into the leg (shoe) so that the toy stands independently.
5. Stuff the leg (boot) tightly with fiberfill.
Repeat this for both legs.
11
After connecting the two legs, we will have a common frame that will run along
the entire body to the he.
Common wire frame:

6. In two parts, bend the wire in half so as to outline the hip joint.
7. On both pieces, step back a little from the bend and bend the wire up again.
8. Connect the wires and twist together. The wire should be located in the center
of the body.
In the photo you can see how the frame looks without the toy.
1. Video, how to properly bend the wire of the legs and connect it into a common
frame.

Flatten the legs opening parallel to the toe. Mark the
extreme stitches with pins. Please note that we left the
working yarn on the right leg.
Left leg - from the middle of the marker, to the

extreme stitch that we marked – I have 6 sc. Please note that the number of
stitches may be different for you, it all depends on the crochet technique.
On the right leg, where we left the working yarn, crochet the required
number of sc to the marker - if you want the legs to stand evenly. I made 7
sc. Please note that the number of stitches may be different for you, it all
depends on the crochet technique.
