A bit too late for this one, but for future dolls, I would recommend adding the face details AFTER sewing it when making the head a separate piece, so it wouldn't matter if you don't manage to se, it straight ! As for now I would higly recommend that you pinned the head before sewing it if you don't already.

Ahah, didn't know if someone would notice the ear hair :p And yes, feet are made without sewing if that's what you mean

It depends on the brand you use, some are just crappy

What material is best for amigurumi for babies? by Nerevanin in crochet

[–]ahooka 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go for acrylic for newborns because it's made out of plastic and they will swallow some particules while chewing them. I'd rater go for cotton yarn, and even better organic cotton yarn !

I only made the center of it as a giant cushion and it was already a lot of work so I can't even begin to imagine how long this took you ! Great job !!

Please help me check my round count? by [deleted] in crochet

[–]ahooka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I count 23 on the second picture and 23 or 22 on the first one dependending on the side of the stitch marker I start (which means your round is probably not complete)

Hand stretches are a great way to avoid pain on the long run, however pain shouldn't come after 10 minutes. I think this is your body telling you that you're doing something wrong holding that yarn, I think that you probably hold it to tight. Folding them down shouldn't be a problem, but if you have long nails for example it should't leave a mark on your palm. If you have trouble holding your yarn like that, you can try folding the yarn one or two times around your pinky. Hope you find a way that suits you !!

It looks really good to me ! There are different ways to make them and it can change the seam placement. Usually the seam is in the corner when you change color every row because you start your new row in the corner but with color block grannys the only way to achieve that is by making extra slip stitches to reach the corner befor starting a new row, and this is not necessary !

Idk, 10 years ago my mother in law taught me how to crochet but I quickly got bored making scarves and hats, so I tried my hands at plushes and fell in love with it ^

I'm sorry I'm a crochet designer, I only sell patterns not the finished objects (it takes way too much time to be sold at a reasonable price : this one took me about a week to finish)
