To get started working in a spiral you will need to learn to make a magic ring! This video teaches you how. 

Stitch markers help you track the beginning of your round so that you know when a round is done. This video shows you how to use them and where to place them.

Learn to increase - this skill is used to widen your amigurumi by adding more stitches to a round which increases the circumference of the shape.
