    I don't remember where I learned this, but when I do a magic circle with chenille yarn, I just use regular yarn for the circle. Make a double loop with regular yarn, put your chenille stitches into it, then pull the ends and tie together. Always works great, never shows once it's tied up and is super easy to do. You can work over the end of the chenille yarn in the next round if you're worried about it coming undone.

    WHY DID I NEVER THINK ABOUT DOING THE MAGIC RING SMALLER🤣 Makes so much sense, and less rage😂

      This is what I do with bulkier Chantelle yarn all the time. Regardless of how loose I make my stitches it still will not tighten.

    It’s Monday - I always always always go straight to your channel when I come to YT on Mondays! 😊 seriously, EXCELLENT video! I really have been struggling with facial features; if you have any more tips, I would love to have ‘em. Even different smiles, you know? Eyelashes, mouths, all of it - I struggle hard. Thank you! Thank you! Have a great week! ☺️🫶🏻🧶

    Great video! I like the tip of adding just a little detail to the plain safety eyes. I also really like those glitter eyes you used! So cute! Side by side with your pigeon was a great idea. It sure is the little things that matter! Thank you!

    For the longest time I did yarn under for all my stitches because I didn’t know the difference! I only did it for the first one like you showed here. So I guess when I started amigurumi I was doing something right without even knowing!

    Hi Annie. I loved this video. It’s amazing how much that tiny bit of white around the eye makes it look so much better. Have to go back and do that on some plushies. I struggle the most with the magic ring with chenille yarn. I’m pretty sure it’s because I crochet tightly. I will practice with some ugly Bernat blanket yarn I have laying around.

    Been utilizing the yarn under the last several weeks. Love the look but am having issues because my tension is always tight and now it is too tight and I’m having a problem getting into my stitches.

    Too funny, I thought I was YOYO this whole time... Ive even stopped a few times to really watch, and thought something seemed off... but im so new to crochet, I figured I just didnt know what it was meant to properly look like. turns out I've been YUYO since the beginning 😂

    Do you find it hard to get around the plastic backing on the eyes to add the facial detail?
