*I didn't want to take this one down since it is linked to so many things like Pinterest.
The Seamless join (or invisible join) is the best technique I learned for joining amigurumi pieces!
I went into detail on how to place the ears, so skip to 5:25 to see the seamless join!
I used my Koala Rattle/Teether pattern as an example. You can get that pattern here: www.etsy.com/listing/91246971...

This video has taught me something. I've been crocheting for 10 years and I love it but I always hated hated sewing the stuff together. I used to live with a little English woman and when we'd sit and work together I'd make the deal with her that I'd do the crochet and she's put it all together bc it was either so messy or it would fall off too easily. Used your techniques on my Hermione doll I made yesterday and so much better than the dobby I had made the day before. I'd attach photo if I knew how
Sorry I just saw this comment! I'm glad to hear y video helped :) Little techniques really make a difference!
Excellent! Been crocheting for 50 years and you taught me something new and very useful. Thank you.
Aw I’m glad to hear that! I’m still learning new things myself 😁
The baby with the rattle just upped the temperature in my baby fever. So cute! And thank you for the tutorial! Really helpful!
Haha! It's one of the things I look forward to when I have my own! And thank you so much! :)
This is something I've really needed to know. You've made it so less stressful closing now. Thank you.
Aw thanks, glad to help! This was probably the best technique I learned that made my dolls start looking much better :)
Great video! Sewing pieces together is my least favorite part, so videos that help make that process easier and look better, is always appreciated 😊
Ahhh! Thank you so much, I'm glad it could help! And I agree, I always dreaded that part until I learned this method, and it looks so much better than how I used to do it that now I look foreword to this part!
This is amazing. I usually just jab my needle in and out willy-nilly. This has changed me. Many thanks.
Lovely tutorial! I appreciate this so much, thank you!😄 Very well explained, not boring at all☺️ loved the ending too tehe
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the ending! It never gets old for me lol!
Thank you for this tutorial joining had been my least favorite part of the process but this makes it seem more manageable. The ending was very funny!
I too did not like the joining part because I always felt like it could look better. This technique changed how I felt about it! And I'm glad you appreciate my ending lol!
Thanks for the instruction, I've been struggling with joining neatly. I've got a bent needle in my kit but didn't think of using it so I'm going to have a go now!
Your welcome! I too used to hate joining pieces together and wondered how others made it look so neat, so I just HAD to record this video once I learned this awesome technique! It really makes a difference!
Not boring at all, thank you so much! I'm new to amigurumi and this was very helpful! You do amazing work! ❤
Aw thanks so much, I’m glad to hear that!
This video makes it so MUCH easier to sew the BODY parts together. I have to get some of those needles. I have seen them in crart stores and didn't know what they were used for. Now I know.?? Awesome video.
Thank you so much, Susan! I also didn't know what they were for a long time, now it's the only one I use :)
Maybe don’t do music the whole time it’s sort of distracting but thank you for the tutorial! I was struggling with joining pieces and this gave me a visual of a better way to do it :)!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm definitely a work in progress with videos! 😅
Chrisette Designs Cute, good instructions, but I can’t watch videos with music... sorry 😪
Me encantó la idea como ya escribí antes. En cuanto a la música, le quito el sonido y pongo subtítulos.
This video randomly showed up in my google search. I am very happy it did! Thank you for the great video 😁
Aw thanks, glad to hear that!
Thank you! Not boring at all.. very clear!
Thank you so much! I uploaded a newer version with the music volume lower as well.
Music highly distracting & project was going off the camera at certain times. Hard to stay engaged. You have a talent that is highly appreciated & a very nice voice to go along with it. Blessings.
Thank you! I've had many comments on the music and have been working on improving my videos after this one :)
Buying a bent needle now. Thank you. Very helpful!
Your welcome, you will use it all the time!
Thank you! Making this tutorial is so so helpful taking the mystery out with providing helpful instruction. I would agree with less background distraction. It is not boring to watch your method it really is the clarity and visual that is most important. Patience in learning is key. (i wont have to make scarfs to hide my ..less than happy) stitches on my elf and reindeer next time!!! wish id found you sooner. Merry Christmas(:}
Thank you so much for your input, and I'm glad you found it helpful!
I've been making amigurumi for awhile now but tend to avoid ones with lots of sewing since that's my weakest skill. This was very helpful and will improve my sewing skills. Thanks so much.
I feel your pain about avoiding having to sew pieces on! And a good pattern should tell you which rows the pieces should be sewn onto, so that makes it harder when they don't. But it will definitely limit what you can make if you avoid sewing completely, so I'm glad my video made the sewing part easier for you! Mine used to always look sloppy compared to the pattern until I learned this :)
LOL!!! Perfect ending. This will definitely help me up my crochet game!
Thank you! I was waiting for someone to comment on the ending! I was really proud of that part lol. Glad this video helped. It really makes a difference how you attach pieces :)
I just wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER! My amigurumi was looking crazy where I was sewing things on, I'm still new so I didn't exactly know there was a "correct" way, if you will 🤣 my work looks so professional with this little bit of help so for that I thank you sincerely. ❤️😊
Aw thanks! Glad to know it helped! For me also this technique seemed to really bump up the quality/look of my Amigurumi! I've got a bunch of free patterns you can check out on my blog as well! It's linked on my home page :)
@@ChrisetteDesigns Amazing! Thank you so much. ❤️
What a brilliantly clever and neat technique. Thankyou 😊
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped you!
Omg! That was incredible!!! I have always just mushed and mangled ….. the bent needle made me smack my head(not literally 😉) genius!! Never thought to use a bent needle. Thank you so so much for sharing!
Thanks! It really was a game changer for me! Glad my video could help 🥰
Gracias! Es verdad que lo más difícil de hacer amigurumis es coser las diferentes partes, me has dado una muy buena idea con la aguja curvada.
Thank you so much, your video was very helpful!👏🏼👏🏼❤️ happy new year🥳🎊🎉🍾🥂🥳
I’m glad it helped! Happy new year to you too! 😁🥳🎉
I wish my joining skills would be as professional as yours some day. Thanks for your sharing!
Aw thanks! You will definitely get there with practice and patience :)
Your video was very informative and very clear to see. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped! :)
Awesome tutorial, music was great and funny ending! But for real though, this just helped a lot for attaching the ears on my bear!
Thank you so much! ANd I appreciate that you appreciate the ending lol! It's such an important technique for attaching pieces for amigurumi, glad it helped!
Thank you for such an informative tutorial!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it helped! :)
Thank you sooo much for making this video. I've been struggling with sewing together my amigurumi. It always looked super bulky. This fixed my problem.
No problem! I felt the same before using this. How do all these other people make theirs looks so clean?!? 😂

Awesome tutorial. Much appreciated 😊
Thanks! Glad to help!
Thankyou so much for this video! I am new to amigurumi crochet and this video helped me soooo much!!!
My pleasure! It really makes a cleaner look, so I had to share it! 😊
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial!!!
No problem Bridgette! Sorry for responding so late, I somehow missed your comment!
I'm so happy! I put the ears on my Winnie the Pooh exactly like this. I wasn't sure it was right. Thank you for the edification!!!
Yay! It makes such a clean join, doesn't it??
Beautiful, so much neater too! Have to give this a go!👍🥰
Thanks! I think it makes a big difference 😁
Thank you that was amazing stitching thanks for the tip and no not boring. X
Thank you so much, I'm glad it helped!
this is amazing! i am going to try this.
Thank you so much! You'll love the results using this technique!
Much neater technique! Hope I can do it. Never heard of a bent needle; will be looking for one now.
You can definitely do it! It is so worth learning. Also, I added a link in the description for the same needle I used in the video :)
I use waste yarn to mark the centre front back and both sides of the head, starting while relatively flat. This can stay in, and won't poke you. I leave waste yarn markers in until the toy is finished, in case I have to re-adjust. I usually put ears just behind the side markers, and count how many rounds down as well. You may find 8 rather than 9 rounds down will keep your curve a little better. I also check the number of stitches back from the eyes. I sew bits on twice so they won't come off, I allow 4× seam length and 4cm or 11/2 inches for leave sewing tail (LST). I start with whip stitch, and the second time around I do ladder stitch. All the best.
Nice and clear video!
Thank you so much! I hope it helped :)
Thank you, my joining is so much better now. I didn’t mind the music and thought the instruction was very clear. If you don’t like it, turn the sound off!!
Aw I'm glad this video helped you! And I also didn't think the music was an issue when I uploaded it 😳👀 I was surprised with all the comments that came in about it 😬
Thanks for this tutorial - I always feel my joining is messy - this looks great
Yaaaaayy! Glad to hear that this helped! It really makes a difference and has a much cleaner look!
You are amazing. Thank you for your very understanding video.
Thank you so much! Glad I could help! 😁
Hi, I learned a lot watching you, so thank you. I would love to see how it's finished off. Since I'm just learning this Amigurumi stuff that would be very helpful.
Oh good question! I actually have a separate video showing that. It's tied off the same way even though it's not attaching 2 pieces together. I have the link set to show where that part begins in this other video here: ua-cam.com/video/slqcT4kTkz4/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for sharing this..
No problem, I hope it helped! I have a newer version with the music lower as well :)
I wish I found this sooner lol nice explanation. I kept getting frustrated when you went out of view a few times but other than that I’m gunna practice this
I hear ya, this was my earlier videos when I was still getting used to it, one day I need to redo this one! Glad it could help!
Thank you this is sooo helpful!!!
No problem, glad it helped!
Thanks so much!! Been trying to stitch rabbit ears and have no idea how 😂 It's slightly different since it's folded, but I think it should be more or less the same.. The video is very easy to understand.. Thanks again~❤️
Hey! It works the same way even if it's not folded. Glad this video helped!
@@ChrisetteDesigns No, I meant my rabbit ears are folded as in pinched at the base ^^
Great advise to use a bent needle. 👍 x
Thanks! I can't live without my bent needle! It makes such a huge difference
Thank you SO very much for this video. :-)
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Very nice tutorial. I do not mind the music but it was loud for my 73 year old failing ears. I would have loved to have heard more of what you said and tried closed captioning without succes. I managed to pick up most of what you said but I did struggle. Thank you.
Thank you so much! :)
Your welcome! I hope you enjoy the difference it makes on your dolls! :)
Great lesson, but your project was going off camera. Got the just of it, thank you. I too agree the music was not needed.
Wow thanks. I'm a beginner and i didn't even know they sold bent needles
Once you try them, you'll never go back! I wish I knew about them sooner :)
I just subscribed to your channel. I'm so glad this video popped up. I've shared it on pinterest.❤ I hope that helps your channel. This is fantastic.
It looks like the needle you're using is bent, did you buy it that way?
If so, didn't know there was such a creature . I can see it would be helpful.
Thank you for the video.❤
Aw thank you so much I really appreciate that! And yes, that yarn needle came bent like that, the brand is Susan Bates and it really makes things easier with amigurumi!
Was very good information
No problem, glad it could help! :)
Thank you! I found this SO helpful and I think the music is fine. What is the name of that kind of bent needle? Very helpful and clear. Thank you
Thank you so much! It's a Susan Bates brand and it's called "Bent Tip Steel Yarn Needles". Most places that sell yarn have them, I hope that helps!
Good instruction but lots out of sight of camera ☹️
I know I'm sorry, I have so much to improve on with videos! Were you able to learn the seamless join?
Thanks so much for the video, it does look really neat! I don't really understand what you do with the back of the ear though - is it exactly the same as the front? Many thanks.
Hi Caryn! Yes, the back of the ear was done exactly the same as the front :) No matter what you are attaching, or its shape, the process is the same, It probably looked a little different since the back of the ear is curved opposite of the front of the ear.
@@ChrisetteDesigns Thank you very much.
Just started doing amigurumi and love this technique. But how do you tie off the stitches without it being seen or the thread ends falling out?
I just tie a knot around the last stitch I went through then weave it into the doll in different directions. I always go in and out the same hole when hiding the tail so it never shows. Let me show you another video I did that shows this technique too
Here’s the video ua-cam.com/video/slqcT4kTkz4/v-deo.html
Music wasn’t distracting to me. I have a knit bear I’m ready to assemble but have been too afraid to do it. I’m going to try this method. Thanks!
Aw thanks! Go for it! It gets easier once you give it a shot. And I am pretty sure at this point that some people maybe have unbalanced sound settings on their devices! I did make a newer version with lower background music as well which is linked in the caption :)
@@ChrisetteDesigns Great! I'll check it out. Thank you.
I was not able to get clarification of the invisible stitch because the camera was so off focus. The music doesn't help. I wish you would redo the video. Thanks.
How did you sew the nose
Hello! I used the same technique to sew the nose on 😁
Do you buy bent needles or do you bend your own, I’m new to amigurumi
Hi Kay! Yep, I bought mine in a pack that came with straight ones and a bent one! Most places that sell yarn should have them :)
@@ChrisetteDesigns Making amigurmi for all my grandchildren. Just finish one except for joining all the “Batman” pieces. This video will be a great help. Will have to use a straight needle this time but I will surely get a bent one for the doll that I am doing next. Thank you Chrisette. 🤗
@@fayewhite7541 Awesome! You'll love the bent one once you try it!
Great way to attach the ears thanks for the tutorial.
One thing though could you turn the music off whilst you are talking please?
Thanks again. X
Thanks Jane! You can see in the title it says (OLD VERSION), there is a new one I uploaded with the music very low that you can watch instead, it is linked in the description 😁
Why the music? Too loud. Thx
No music!!
Hello Nick! There is a newer version linked in the description with the music very low. Thank you!
Awesome hope you do not mine I shared this on facebook :)
Thank you so much, I definitely encourage sharing! It helps my channel grow :)
🌸🌸❤❤💛💛💚💚💜💜
please do this again and have your work actually in the camera range. Most of this is not showing what you are doing. Good job though. Nice join. TY
please please turn the music off, as i cannot hear you through it..
I unfortunately UA-cam doesn't let me edit the volume after it is uploaded. I did a new version (this one has "old version" in the title) but I kept this one since it is tied to many things like Pinterest pins that I do not want to end up a broken link there. The. new one is linked in the description. Thanks for the feedback!
Great tips, but loose the music its disturbing your presentation.
Thank you for your video.
I agree! I did a new version (this one has "old version" in the title) but I kept this one since it is tied to many things like Pinterest pins that I do not want to end up a broken link there. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the visual representation. But please get straight to the point. Had to fast forward the beginning. Either that, skip your introduction or cut your intro short
Hi Liane! My videos accompany my patterns, so the intro is there to help beginners as well. I actually have a link in the description to go straight to the tutorial and skip the intro. Thanks!
jump to 7:00 to get to the sewing. can't hear what she's saying over the irritating music.
Hi Jane! I'm actually in the middle of re-uploading this video with less irritating music and lower volume, I will comment with the link for you when it is up. Also, the sewing actually starts at 5:25, just wanna make sure people don't get confused starting at 7:00 😁

No music, please.
Hi Ana! I hope you are having a lovely day :) You can see a link in the description for the new version of this video with the sound lower. Thanks and take care!
Ugh.... that music :(
Agreed, I had to quit watching because of the music
Hi Cathy, I uploaded a newer version with the music lower and it's linked in the description :)
@@ChrisetteDesigns why not just remove the music it's totally unnecessary.
@@cathymartin3379 as I stated in my description, there are pins on Pinterest that lead people to my UA-cam channel. Rather than them getting a broken link from me deleting this, I will keep it up and they can choose to watch the new version that is also linked in the description 😁
Lose the music
Hi Michele! I hope you are having a lovely day :) You can see a link in the description for the new version of this video with the sound lower. Thanks and take care!
I don’t mean to be a bother, but I see the curvature of your finger nails and I feel inclined to say something. The curvature of your right index finger nail is showing signs of either a ) loss of oxygen to the lower part of your lungs or b) kidney issues. Please go have that looked at as it can be fatal. Any curvature downward and arching of a finger nail is never a good thing. Please have this looked at by your family doctor.
Sometimes a problem with heart (to much wather in the body that is a second stage with kidneys problems)
