Assembly / Finishing
Stuff the cabbage head firmly with fiberfill. Use the long tail and tapestry needle to weave through the front loops of the last round, pull tight to close the opening, and secure. Weave in any remaining ends. With dark green yarn, embroider some vein details on the cabbage head for a more realistic look, if desired.
Tips
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round, especially when working in a continuous spiral.
- To achieve a tighter fabric suitable for amigurumi, ensure your stitches are snug. This helps prevent stuffing from showing through.
- Crochet a gauge swatch to ensure your finished cabbage head will be the desired size.
