Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble amigurumi’s, I use sewing pins first. This way I can move all parts around until I am happy with how it looks. Then I will sew it on. I recommend you do so as well.

There isn’t much to assemble for Jiminy Cricket, but let’s start, sew all of his legs in the right spot. Then sew on his hat, slightly off centre on his head.
Then make all of the facial detail from felt or embroider them on, do what feels right for you.

Jiminy Cricket is already done! Not too hard this time, right?! I hope you had fun and if you made him, don’t forget to show me on Twitter or Instagram! I’d love to see what you create with my patterns.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle
