Technical Notes
- 1.Crochet in continuous spiral rounds, unless specified otherwise. Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round.
- When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart each large chunk into many smaller chunks. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi.
- Stuff the head and the body firmly at the openings so that the neck is stable upon completion.
- To avoid large holes in the crochet fabric, increase tension until the holes cannot be seen, or choose a crochet hook a size down.
- Use sewing pins to secure limbs of the amigurumi before you sew them.
- For this pattern, the MC is off white, and the CC is light pink.
