I don’t watch a lot of crochet videos (mostly because I’m way too impatient). That helps me sort of de-code what the designer is doing.
If I’m on foreign website, I use Google Translate on the site. So the first row will have 6 stitches, the 2nd row 12 stitches and so on. Here is what I do … for amigurumi (and other patterns too), shapes usually increase by the number 6. The internet has really opened up a huge variety of patterns and videos–some of which are in different languages. I have the same problem with projects… i don’t even try to count the number of projects I’ve started. If you feel comfortable with those things (or don’t mind learning as you go), you will be fine trying it out.

(Note: the magic ring can also be used with double crochet, just start with a chain 3 instead of chain 1) Work as many single crochet as indicated in the pattern. Now work single crochet over the loop and the strand of yarn behind the loop together. You can weave in the tail now, or wait until your project is finished. Wrap the tail yarn around the needle, and pull the needle through to make a knot. With the yarn needle, pick up a strand of yarn on the back of the work close to the center of the circle. Next, catch the top yarn and pull it under and through the loop like this: Thread the yarn tail through the eye of your yarn needle. Suddenly the problem of stuffing popping out of opening of a crochet piece is no longer an issue! Gotta love that!
