Learn how easy it is to close an amigurumi piece with just a few simple steps and this easy to follow tutorial.

When I first started making amigurumi pieces, I was stumped at how to actually close those last few stitches. I clumsily sewed and prayed that the stitches wouldn’t unravel. It wasn’t until I learned this simple technique that my amigurumi life changed. Learning tips and tricks of the crochet trade can really boost your confidence in the craft, so I hope this helps you learn and grow in your yarn adventures.

Step 1: Identify your remaining stitches – in this case I have six stitches. Thread the fastened off yarn through a yarn/darning needle.

Step 2: Insert your needle through the the middle of the first stitch (behind the front loop) and pull the yarn through.

Step 3: Insert your needle through the the middle of the second stitch and pull the yarn through.

Step 4: Continue around…

Step 5: Until you reach the last stitch (sixth stitch) and pull the yarn through.

Step 5: Pull the yarn taut. Don’t pull too tight because you’ll want to leave a tiny hole in the middle.

Step 6: Insert your needle through the hole – weaving it into the piece.

Step 7: Last but not least, pull tightly on the yarn to close the middle hole. You’re all done! Yay!
