Troubleshooting
Yarn tension is too loose or tight
Adjust your grip on the yarn or practice a test swatch to ensure your stitches are uniform and small enough to keep the stuffing from showing through.
Unsure about a specific crochet stitch
Refer to the multi-language manual provided in the kit; if further visual aid is needed, search for standard crochet stitch tutorials online that match the terms used in the guide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace to keep track of the smaller components like needles and yarn skeins. The included 3mm crochet hook is compatible with the provided cotton yarn weight for ideal stitch tension. To care for your finished amigurumi, keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the cotton yarn, and lightly dust them with a soft, dry cloth periodically to keep them looking fresh.
