what stitches to do this round, and how many times

For round 3, repeat the pattern in the brackets 4 times. The pattern is: single
crochet in 1 stitch, then increase stitch in the next stitch. Because an increase is
actually 2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch of the previous round, the
total number of stitches in this round is 12.

To keep track of where you are, use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of
each rnd. Each time you start a new rnd, move the stitch marker to the first
stitch of that rnd.

Your work might start curling at this point. For a neater final look, push the
middle of your circle until it curves the other way. This makes the “right side”
face out. Then keep on crocheting in the same direction as you were.

Add safety eyes
Safety eyes aren’t safe for children younger than 3 years old, or pets. If you don’t want to use safety eyes, simply
embroider them on instead.

4. Put the safety eye on a table and

push down on the washer with both
thumbs, so that it cinches the fabric
evenly.

Stuff amigurumi
How you stuff your amigurumi greatly affects its shape – lumpy or smooth, saggy or plump. If you don’t add enough,
your amigurumi may look sunken in. If you add too much, the stuffing might be seen from the outside of your work. It
takes time to learn how much stuffing to put in your work, but don’t worry – you’ll get a feel for it with some experience.

Finally, the (almost) end of your piece! Before you cut your yarn, measure out at least 6 inches of extra yarn beyond your
last stitch. You’ll use this yarn to either secure the yarn you’ve just used or to attach this piece to another.
