Attaching with thread vs. yarn tail
For a cleaner look, I opted to cut a short tail, weave it in, and attach a few of the pieces with matching thread. I did this with the inner ears, snout, and belly. However, it’s totally up to you and will look cute either way!
Optional: Skip arm & leg pads
Instead of attaching separate arm and leg pads, you can simply start with light teal yarn for rounds 1 – 3 on the arms, and rounds 1 – 4 on the legs, then switch to medium teal yarn for the remaining rounds. I prefer the look of the separate pads, but skipping them is definitely easier.
How to indent the eyes
How to Indent Amigurumi Eyes
Step 1 – Cut a strand of yarn approximately 18″ long. Tie a large, secure knot in one end and thread the other end through your yarn needle.
Step 2 – Insert your needle through the back opening of the head and sew between the two spots where you’ll be placing your safety eyes.
Step 3 – Pull your strand of yarn taut, which will create indents.
Step 4 – Fasten off with a knot and hide your yarn tail inside the head.
