In this crochet video tutorial, I am going to show you how to join toes in Amigurumi. This is a handy technique that will show you how to crochet individual toes together in order to create crochet animal feet. This Amigurumi method can also be used when joining legs or other parts of Amigurumi projects.

How to Crochet the Toes
First crochet three separate toes as per the pattern below. I used two different colours but you can crochet the toes in one colour.
Start with grey yarn
R1: MR – 6 x SC into the ring {6}
R2: (SC in next ST, INC) x 3 {9}
R3: (SC in next 2 ST, INC) x 3 {12}
R4: SC in each ST around {12}
R5: (SC in next 5 ST, INC) x 2 {14}
Change colour to green yarn
R6: SC in next 3 ST, INC, SC in next 6 ST, INC, SC in next 3 ST {16}
R7: SC in each ST around {16}
1st and 2nd toe: FO after R7 and weave yarn ends in, insert stitch marker into 1st ST of R7
3rd toe: do not FO and leave your hook in after R7

R8:
– continue from where you finished with R7 in 3rd toe
– SC in next 8 ST
– insert your hook into the middle toe (into the ST with a marker in it) and SC in next 8 ST
– insert your hook into the last toe (into the ST with a marker in it) and SC in next 16 ST
– insert your hook back into the middle toe and SC in next 8 ST
– insert your hook back into the original toe (3rd toe) and SC in next 8 ST {48}
You have now connected the toes together and you can continue to crochet as per the instructions in the pattern.
