(12/12/08) this is the format i first encountered amigurumi patterns in, and i find it much easier to follow than directions written out long hand. the chart gives the total number of stitches (all sc) in each row. to make life easier increases and decreases are usually made in multiples of 6, distributed equally around the row. you will find that as you work this creates an easily memorised pattern. e.g. the legs work up as follows: (inc1= increase by 1 - work 2 sc into the top of one sc of the previous round) row 1: 6 sc into ring (6 sc total) row 2: inc1 all around (12 sc) row 3: 1 sc, inc1 around (18 sc) row 4: 2 sc, inc1 around (24 sc) row 5: 3 sc, inc1 around (30 sc) etc… you can calculate how many stitches between the increases by dividing the previous and upcoming row totals by the difference between them (the number of increases in the next round). e.g. 36 sitches up to 42 is an increase of 6. 36/6=6, 42/6=7. which means you want to turn every 6 stitches of the previous round into 7 in...See less
