Definition

Amigurumi toys are worked in the round at tight tension so no filling shows, assembled from separately made limbs and finished with embroidered features.

Overview

Character lives in the face placement: eyes set slightly low and wide read as friendly, high and close read as odd.

Studio practice for infants is embroidered features, no pellets, and every limb attached with a double pass of thread.
