 Pro Tips for Beginners

• Always keep your tension tight when making amigurumi — it prevents stuffing from showing.

• Use a stitch marker to track rounds (especially for small shapes).

• Don’t overstuff tiny parts like arms or horns — they should be slightly flexible.

• Use cotton yarn for a crisp shape, or acrylic for a softer feel.

• If you’re new to sewing parts, use pins first to position everything evenly.

Pattern Variation Ideas

• Cute Couple: Make a red devil and a white angel version.

• Tiny Accessories: Add a little heart, pitchfork, or mini hat.
