• Join rounds with a sl st into the first stitch of the round unless otherwise specified.

Pattern Correction & Tips

• Pattern Correction: Leg shaping and joining can be tricky; ensure correct stitch counts when joining and crocheting around chains.
• Tips:
  • Use a tight gauge for amigurumi to prevent stuffing from showing.
  • Use pins or markers to help position limbs and facial features before sewing.
  • If you dislike using glue, all small details can be securely sewn.
  • For safety with children, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.
