&note- crochet hook si'e and yarn "eight are my preferences6 *f you "ere to use yarns of a hea7ier "eight, remem#er to use the corresponding hook si'e! Like"ise, if using yarns of a lighter "eight, use the right si'ed hook6 %8ersonally, "hen crocheting amigurumi, * like using a hook si'e that is one si'e smaller than "hat they recommend of the yarn la#el so the stitches "ill #e tighter and denser making the final product sturdier and also look #etter in my opinion since the stuffing "ill not sho" through6( Hea7ier yarns and #igger hooks "ill yield #igger finished products, !ust as lighter yarns and smaller hooks "ill yield smaller finished products6
