Tips for Gifting Amigurumi
- Think about safety for little ones. For babies and toddlers, embroider the eyes instead of using plastic safety eyes, and sew all parts on securely.
- Use soft, washable yarn for toys that will be played with and hugged a lot.
- Add a handmade tag with the name of the toy and the date you made it. It turns the gift into a keepsake.
- Start early. Small pieces like eyes, ears and accessories take more time than you expect, especially if you are making several gifts.
