"I love to crochet but also, I’m passionate about all yarn techniques. I travel often and take inspiration from the textures and the essence of the places I visit. I prefer natural materials and strive to have ecological business practices. In my shop, you will discover lots of unique baby gifts as well as encouragement to follow your dreams creatively. Find me as crochet_jazmina on Instagram" My shop on Etsy is Stitch kids boutique you can also find me under this name on Facebook and Pinterest." INSTAGRAM: @crochet_jazmina   Tip 1.  When making amigurumis always crochet in the round, do not join rounds. I like to mark the first stitch of the round with a stitch marker or a little piece of yarn in a contrasting color. This is also super handy to count the rounds.   Tip 2.  I recommend going 1-1.5 size down on the hook, so the stuffing doesn’t show between the stitches. This will give your dolls a more professional look.
