When shaping amigurumi, sometimes you need to use stitches other than single crochet, but you wind up with gaps between stitches that show your stuffing. Linked stitches help reduce those gaps dramatically, but they can be confusing, especially when changing between different stitch types.

I use linked stitches in a few patterns and decided to make this tutorial to help people who get confused on how to link them.
