USA/UK terminology comparison chart
Other differences in crochet terminology used:
Terminology USA Terminology UK
fasten off cast off
skip miss
gauge tension
yarn over (yo) yarn over hook (yoh)
If there is a record in the brackets in the pattern, multiplied by some number, for example
(3 sc, inc) x 3, it means you need to repeat this action 3 times, that is 3 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc, 3 sc, inc.
Tip (make it right)
If there are no special notes, the toy is crocheted under both parts of the loop. In some rows, there are special notes: ‗into the front loop only‘ or ‗into the back loop only‘. In that case, you need to follow these instructions.
Tip (yarn and wire)
If you use the different yarn, the toy will be bigger or smaller and you will need more or less yarn and wire than stated in the pattern (i.e. thicker yarn will produce a larger toy and you may require more yarn and wire).
If you decide to use thicker yarn you should buy thicker wire as well. The thicker your yarn the taller the toy will be.
Tip (gauge)
When making toys, you should use a much smaller hook than recommended for the yarn you have chosen.
Make sure you crochet tight enough; otherwise, the stuffing will show through the holes.
Tip (shift stitch)
While working, you will need to keep the work symmetrically. As work tends to twist to the right you need to adjust the position of the marker periodically (beginning of the round). If you notice that the marker moves right, you need to work one extra stitch in the end of the round and move the marker for one stitch (now 2nd st of the round becomes 1st). This is a shift stitch – it is not included in the escription of the rounds.
Usually you have to do shift stitches every 3-5 rounds (depending on the yarn, hook and your gauge).
To check if it is time to work a shift stitch fold your work in half and check if marker still goes straight.
Arms (make 2)
Crochet with the crimson yarn (for the panda crochet the arms with the additional color). The
marker goes along the middle of the outer side of the arm.
Rnd 1: 6 sc in the magic ring (6)
Rnd 2: inc х 6 (12)
Rnd 3: (inc, 3 sc) х 3 (15)
Rnds 4-5 (2 rounds): 1 sc in each st around (15)
Rnd 6: 6 sc, 3 sc together, 6 sc (13)
Rnd 7: 5 sc, 3 sc together, 5 sc (11)
Rnds 8-14 (7 rounds): 1 sc in each st around (11)
If you use the plastic joints as fastenings, then crochet the opening for them in the next round (follow the description). If you use the cotter pins with joint disks as fastenings, the opening is not needed, crochet the sc in the place of the chain in the description.
FOR THE RIGHT ARM:
Rnd 15 (crochet the opening for the joint): 1 sc, ch 3, skip 3 sc, 7 sc (11)
FOR THE LEFT ARM:
Rnd 15 (crochet the opening for the joint): 7 sc, ch 3, skip 3 sc, 1 sc (11)
Crochet further the both arms similarly. Crochet 3 sc under the chain in the next round.
Rnd 16: 1 sc in each st around (11)
Insert the plastic safety joint into the crocheted opening or step 2 rounds down, 2 sc from the marker to the left (for the right arm) or to the right (for the left arm) and insert the cotter pin with the disk (I used the joint 10 mm in diameter).
Choose the diameter of the joint as follows: put the arm in half and choose such disk which occupies all internal space of the arm, at the same time without stretching the cloth. Stuff the arm.
Note: you need to choose the correct diameter of the disk that the arms snugly fit to the body – it must be equal to the width of the arm at the site of attachment. Not fill too much the upper part of the arm, it should be flat – then they will look like an extension of the body, rather than individual details, unrelated to him.
Rnd 17: sc, dec х 5 (6)
Fasten off and cut the yarn, hide the end of the thread. Crochet the second arm similarly.
Legs (make 2)
Start with the pink yarn (for the panda crochet the legs with the additional color). The marker goes

Insert your needle in the point of the mouth and pull it out in the point of the right eyes. Re-insert
the needle one stitch away and go back to the point of the mouth. Repeat several times, pulling the thread. Pull the point of the left eye to the point of the mouth similarly. Fix the thread; hide the ends of the thread into the head.
Try on the ears to the head and sew them how do you like. Sew the nose to the face, having added a little stuff. For the panda sew the ovals at the places of the eyes. Cut out circles from the white felt in diameter slightly more than the diameter of the eyes and place them under the eyes. Sew the eyes at the same time pulling them to the neck at the back (the arrow at the photo below).
