Assembly / Finishing

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Using the tapestry needle, weave the tail through the front loop of each remaining stitch and pull tight to close the opening. Weave in all ends. Lightly stuff the crown before closing if desired for a firmer shape.

Tips

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round, especially important for amigurumi worked in continuous spirals.
• Maintain a consistent tension to ensure an even fabric and a well-shaped crown.
• Crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished item will be the desired size.
