💡 Step-by-Step Tips for Success

Even though these are beginner projects, small details make your amigurumi toys look more professional.

Follow these crochet tips:

1. Use tight stitches – prevents stuffing from showing.
2. Mark the start of each round – use a contrasting yarn piece or stitch marker.
3. Count your stitches – miscounting is the most common beginner mistake.
4. Stuff gradually – avoid overfilling, or your toy will look lumpy.
5. Weave ends neatly – for a clean and secure finish.
