How to close a hole in Amigurumi?
In this crochet tutorial, I am going to teach you how to close a hole in Amigurumi. This technique is one that I personally love using for all of my amigurumi projects because it results in a very neat closing circle.
Closing the hole in Amigurumi is an important step in giving your creation a polished and finished look. Whether you are making a cute little animal or a soft toy for a child, having a closed and tidy hole adds to the overall aesthetic appeal.
To begin, you will need your crocheted piece with an open hole. This could be the top of a ball or the opening in the head of your toy. With a needle and simple stitches, we will work on closing this hole in a way that is secure yet visually pleasing.

How to close a hole in Amigurumi?
Pull the stitch marker out, leaving around up to 10 stitches (photo 1). Then, cut a 6-inch (15cm) length of yarn as a tail. Before closing off the hole, make sure that you have enough stuffing inside your amigurumi project.
Enlarge the loop on your hook so it won’t unravel, and remove your hook. Take the end of the yarn and pull it completely through the last stitch (photo 2). Thread it onto a needle.
Next, insert your needle underneath the front loop of the next stitch (photo 3).
Bring it out through the center of the stitch (photo 4). Give it a gentle pull and lightly tug on the tail.
Continue this process all the way around, ensuring that you only go under the front loop of each remaining stitch.
Once you have gone through all of your stitches, pull the end of the yarn tightly to fasten off the hole securely (photo 6 and 7).
To weave in the excess tail, run the needle through the top of your project a couple of times (photo 8). This will ensure that the tail is securely hidden within the amigurumi.
Finally, cut off any excess tail that remains after weaving.
Congratulations! You have successfully closed off the amigurumi hole. Your project now looks complete and seamless (photo 9).
