  • Keep it subtle

Cheeks:

Assembly Order

  1. Prepare head: Insert eyes, embroider face, stuff firmly

Stability Tips

  • Ensure legs are stuffed very firmly for standing support

  • If dolls won’t stand independently, they can lean against objects or sit
  • Consider adding small weights (like poly pellets) to feet before closing if standing is desired

Final Quality Checks

  • Symmetry: Check that eyes, ears, arms, and legs are evenly placed
  • Stuffing: Ensure firm, even stuffing with no lumps
  • Security: Tug gently on all attached parts to ensure they’re secure
  • Yarn ends: All ends should be woven in securely and trimmed close

  • Themed sets: School day, beach trip, camping, birthday party, holidays

πŸ“ Notes

  • Gauge: Maintain consistent tension throughout for even shaping
  • Color changes: When changing colors, work last yarn over of previous row with new color for clean transition
  • Sewing: Use matching yarn colors when attaching pieces for invisible seams
  • Stuffing: Use small amounts at a time and distribute evenly with stuffing tool or chopstick
  • Safety: If making for young children, embroider eyes instead of using safety eyes
  • Washing: Hand wash gently in cool water if needed, reshape and air dry flat

These charming amigurumi siblings are a perfect showcase of handmade love, full of detail and personality for any occasion! πŸ§ΆπŸ’•
