As an amigurumi professional, my top yarn-selection advice is to choose fibers that suit the dolls use: cotton or cotton blends for washable, crisp stitches; acrylic for affordability and softness; and wool blends for more textured, squishy toys. Match hook size to your yarn and aim for a tight gauge so stuffing doesnt show. Techniques that lift a project: invisible decreases for smooth shaping, simple surface crochet for facial details, and short-row shaping for sculpted limbs and faces. For creative variations, experiment with hair (loop stitch, faux fur yarn, or embroidered), removable wardrobes, themed props, or converting a standing doll into a plush keychain. Always test safety components and finish seams securely. Most importantly, iterate: make small prototypes, note changes, and have fun turning each of the 24 designs into your own signature amigurumi.
