Tips and Tricks for Success

Stitch Markers are Your Friends: Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds, especially when increasing or decreasing.
Consistent Tension: Try to maintain consistent tension throughout your work. This helps your amigurumi keep the same shape.
Stuff as You Go: It’s easier to stuff your work as you go, instead of trying to stuff it fully when it’s almost finished.
Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment: Feel free to change yarn colors or add your own unique touches!
