I love how every tiny detail — from the sculpted nose to the tiny diaper and booties — brings personality to the doll. I enjoy the balance of basic amigurumi construction with fun sewing and finishing details that make the doll feel like a tiny, cherished companion.
I like to switch up the yarn for a softer or firmer texture — a tighter tension with a smaller hook yields a sturdier doll, while a slightly larger hook and fluffier yarn give a cuddlier result. I also sometimes add blush and eye highlights with pastel to enhance expression. For clothes, I often mix two cotton colors for contrast trims and change button styles for a different look. If I want a more modern toy, I choose matte plastic eyes instead of glitter ones. When gifting, I personalize the doll's outfit color to suit the recipient. I enjoy making one doll for display and another with machine-washable yarn for a child to play with. Lastly, I stitch a small hanging loop into the hat so it can double as an ornament.
