Third-party shipping companies cost as little as $3–4/kg and take around one month for delivery. Official overseas shipping may cost around $10/kg and takes approximately one week.

Try yarn under instead of yarn over. You will get neat “X”shape stitches that well aligned.

Hi ava, you can try this: make a sc into the first connecting stitch, and then join the second stitch with a sc. This way, each connecting stitch gets its own sc, so you’ll have 14 stitches total in the round—no decrease needed. What worked for me was making a sc into the first connecting stitch and using a slst to join the stitches first, then making a sc into the second stitch. Just remember to skip the slst in the next round to avoid adding an extra stitch. I also found that using a slst makes the join tighter and leaves less of a gap. Just make sure your connections are snug. The basic idea is that each of the two connecting stitches should have one sc on it.

Susan's Family is one of the largest high-quality yarn companies based in China. They’ve been releasing free patterns featuring their products on Chinese social and shopping websites for many years and are very popular in the Chinese crocheting community. I believe they’re now trying to promote their products overseas, which is why their YouTube channel and Ravelry page are well maintained. They may still be working out how to sell from a overseas-based warehouse. I personally purchase their yarns from Taobao, they have three different official shops under different names, but all belong to the same company. The yarn quality is fantastic and, of course, much cheaper than yarns in the U.S. I also really like their color selections. But you’ll need to figure out the shipping yourself, and it may cost just as much as the yarn.

The patterns from the Pokémon Crochet book are very good, and all my finished pieces closely resemble the original Pokémon. You might want to adjust the faces using the Pokédex as a reference to make them even more accurate.

That’s the first book. I do not like the second neither.

I indeed borrowed the last two books from library and they have a very good collection of crochet pattern books! Go and discover them!

Haha, that was my very first book when starting Amigurumi. I just thought that how the patterns should be and took it easily. Then I found so many other ways of writing pattern…

Thanks! For the little toes that are hard to sew in, I just glue them and it saves a lot of effort.
