Welcome to my blog, Stacey Trock’s Fresh Stitching!

I’m Stacey, I’m a crochet and knit designer… and this is my blog!

I’m the designer for FreshStitches amigurumi, and I’m passionate about not only making adorable stuffed animals, but sharing helpful tips and techniques so that you can make them, too! I love teaching others to crochet and knit, and I hope you find this blog enjoyable!

Boring stuff: All of the opinions contained in this blog are my own. I occasionally receive books/merchandise to review free of charge (and I reveal that fact in the blog post), but I do not guarantee a positive review of the item. Every statement is my honest and personal opinion. I use Amazon Affiliate links on this blog.

    I am trying to make Jacques the Gorilla, but have never in my life read instructions “ch tog next 2 sts.” Is that a new form of decreasing. How do you doit? I hav e been crocheting for 60+ years and I am stymied by this.
    Thanks.

    Hi Priscilla!
    So sorry about the confusion! The ‘ch 2 tog’ is the same as the ‘sc2tog’… it was the abbreviation I used in my earlier patterns. (For the whole story, read this blog post)
    Hopefully, that gets you back on the right track!
