Paste any amigurumi pattern to check every stitch count, design a single shape and get its pattern, or open a ready-made toy. The 3D model is drawn from the stitch counts alone, so what you see is what the pattern makes.
Crochet 10 sc rows of 10 stitches, measure, and divide by 10.
These designs were planned with computer help. The math engine wrote and checked every round, and they haven't all been crocheted yet, so treat them as previews.
Paste a whole pattern, notes and all. It reads US and UK terms, repeats written as (2 sc, inc) x6, *2 sc, inc* 6 times or [..] around, labels like Rnd 6-10:, R6 or 1st rnd, and the count at the end. It also reads oval starts on a foundation chain, joined rounds (ch 1 … join with sl st), flat rows (Row 1… turn) and Rnds 9-12: repeat rnds 5-8. Headings like Head or Ears (make 2) split it into pieces. You can also type just the counts: 6, 12, 18, 18x4, 12, 6.

Tap a round to light it up on the model.
Design: your shape is traced as an outline. Every round adds one stitch of height along that outline, and the stitch count is the ring's circumference divided by one stitch width. Counts never change faster than the fabric can curve.
Math: each round's steps must add up to the count it claims, and must use exactly the stitches the round before made.
Shape: each round is treated as a ring. More stitches make a wider ring, and each round adds one stitch of height. If a round grows or shrinks faster than one stitch-height allows, the fabric can't curve smoothly, so it ruffles or bunches.
Not simulated yet: stuffing, sewing parts together, and yarn stretch. Sizes are before stuffing.
