9. Stuff the piece

The way you stuff an amigurumi signifi-cantly impacts its final appearance, deter-mining whether it looks lumpy or smooth, saggy or plump. Insufficient stuffing can result in areas that sink in, while excessive stuffing might cause the stuffing to be visible from the outside.

1. Pull apart a thin layer of stuffing. Shape it so that it's about the same diameter as the bottom of the piece.

2.Tuck this layer of stuffing into the piece. Push down on all angles, even on the edges, to make it as flat as possible.

3.Repeat steps 1-2 until you've filled the whole piece, adjusting the diameter of the stuffing layer to match what you're currently filling.
