Too be honest, I probably use the same techniques as everyone else who makes amigurumi. I suppose I can list the different techniques I use anyway, just for fun.
1. I don't use a magic ring, I chain two, and work the desired amount of stitches into the second chain.
2. Generally, I don't use any stitch other than single crochet.
3. Everyone uses a stitch marker right? Wait, that's not even a technique.....
4. I do sometimes single crochet through the back loop, such as, if I want the bottom of my plushie's feet to be flat instead of round.
5. Of course, the invisible decrease,
6. Sometimes I work into the face with slip stitches. For instance, if I want to give my plush eyelids, I slip stitch into the face about four stitches, turn,single crochet across my slipped stitches, slip stitch into the last stitch, then fasten off.
7. I hide my yarn tails inside of my plushy. ;)
I guess that's about all technique-wise!
