🎀 How to Create the Slot in the Back

This final step helps you shape and tighten the back of your amigurumi:

1. Insert your yarn needle from Row 1 to Row 16 and pull the yarn through.
2. Pull the yarn through two more loops to tighten.
3. Pull it out firmly and tie a secure knot.
4. Hide the excess yarn inside the body.

✨ Finishing Touches

• Attach the hands securely to the body using your yarn needle.
• Insert the safety eyes between rows 9 and 10, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
• Stuff the body with fiberfill before fully closing if needed.
• Shape your amigurumi gently to make it even and smooth.

With practice, these stitches and rounds will feel natural, and you’ll end up with a cute handmade piece to cherish or gift!
