TIP Your piece might start curling - that’s

totally normal. For a neater final look, push
the middle of your piece until it curves the
other way. This makes the “right side” face
out. Then keep crocheting to the left. If
you’re a lefty, keep crocheting to the right.

Attach the eyes between rounds 9 and 10 with a 7-

stitch space between them. If this amigurumi is for
a baby or pet, embroider the eyes instead. Stuff
the piece, shaping it like an egg.

Rnd 18. 9 dec (9)

Fasten off leaving a long tail. Thread a needle with

the tail; then use it to pull the yarn tail through the
front loops of each stitch. Pull tight to close the
remaining gap.
