🎨 Colorwork Tips

  • Clean Color Change:
    Change yarn in the final yarn over of the last stitch in the old color.

  • Surface Slip Stitch:
    For mechanical detail, insert hook from front to front, yarn over, and pull through working loop to “draw” a line on the surface.

  • Layered Damage Effects:
    Use a few strands of black yarn or thread to create “cracked” or burned areas in asymmetrical patches.

🎉 Final Touch

Your battle-worn, robotic amigurumi Terminator is ready to face the resistance! With stitched-in circuitry, glowing yellow eyes, and a post-apocalyptic vibe, this project is a perfect blend of sci-fi and soft craft.
