okay so the magic loop thing Right so you want to know how to do the magic loop. I finally figured this out properly in summer 2022 when I was making like a million amigurumi animals because my sister was pregnant and I got super into it. Before that I’d been doing the whole “chain […]
okay so bunny amigurumi basics Right so you’re gonna want to start with the magic ring because that’s basically how every amigurumi starts and if you don’t know how to do that yet just youtube it real quick, it’s way easier to watch than read about. I made my first actual decent rabbit back in […]

Getting Started with Amigurumi Dolls So the magic ring is basically where you gotta start with most amigurumi patterns and honestly it took me forever to get this right. You make a loop with your yarn, work your stitches into it, then pull it tight so there’s no hole in the center. I was making […]
