How To Get Floof on the Baby Beasts Crochet Amigurumi Creatures
Megan has a very unique technique to get the fuzzy yarn on the structure of the crochet stuffie. She calls it the “Floof” Technique. It involves using the front loops on the surface of the crochet amigurumi creature as a base for applying slip stitches using the fur yarn. The results are amazing and 100% worth the effort. Just take a look at the Kitty Wampus Amigurumi Creature below. The image on the left is one Megan took of the stuffy “bald” before adding any ‘floof.’ The other two images are of the finished kitty pattern with the added fur yarn all “floofed”. Isn’t that adorable?
