I got a few of her patterns and they are all easy. The two of her teddybear patterns I got (bear in a teapot and birthday bear) have these abbreviations
Rnd=Round
Ch=chain
Sc=single crochet
St=stitch
Sl st=slip stitch
Increase=2sc in one stitch
Decrease=1 Sc in the next two stitches

so it is pretty standard, nothing advanced.

Edit: The only thing that can be a bit fiddly, she uses a small hook 1.75 so if you think of using a larger hook the bear will get bigger too.(being amigurumi you can use normal DK yarn with that size hook I do it on most of my items)

Don't worry to much with a bit of practice it will soon fall into place.

If you really, really want them and cant make it in time or on your own I can perhaps help you if you want. I do make amigurumis and sell through my blog
