Eva’s Top Amigurumi Making Secret
Always choose a crochet hook that is 0.5mm to 1.0mm smaller than your yarn label recommends. This keeps your single crochet stitches tight, preventing polyester fiberfill from peeking through! Use safety eyes with secure backings or embroider sleepy eyes for baby-safe makes.
❓ Common Amigurumi Questions
Mercerized worsted or DK weight cotton yarn is ideal. It doesn’t fray or split easily, and stitch definition is crystal clear so you can count rounds without squinting.
Work in the "yarn under" (YU) technique or drop down one full hook size. Also, make sure to use an invisible decrease (invdec) instead of a standard single crochet decrease.
