Thank you so much, I agree with one of the other commenters the patterns never tell you how to sew a limb on, it just says sew it, even the beginners patterns.

Thank you for that. It's always been a mystery to me, because patterns never tell you how to attach. One thing I like to do after weaving through the ends is, instead of cutting the yarn at the surface, I go one step further and push the needle through the middle of the amigurumi to the other side (through the stuffing), pull tight, then cut as close to the surface as possible. This loses that loose end in the center of the plushy, so it doesn't show or unravel where you last weaved in.

Another option is to hold the head in place on the body with some fine knitting needles. Skewer style 😀

While the pieces are flat, I fold and use waste yarn to mark centre front back and both sides, then continue these down as I work more of the head. I mark the centre front and sides of the body as well, so I don't have to agonise over it later. Waste yarn can stay in until the toy is completed, so If things don't end up quite right, I can remove them and re-position. I find it easier to attatch limbs and ears etc while the body and head are separate. I can get my fingers inside to hold the stuffing away, or find placement and remove stuffing until sewn on, I don't like having to get stuffing back out of sewn stitches. If I'm making another toy from the same pattern, I count stitches on my sample toy, to position pieces to a formula, and sew ears and eyes on before finishing crocheting the head. I whip stitch then ladder stitch, for strong attatchments. I leave sewing tail (LST), 4× seam length and 4cm/11/2 inches. To keep track of pieces I use my sewing tails to 'cobble' them on to their places as completed. I find it easier to see what is still needed. On flat joined pieces, I like to sew the end shut, then I sew each side down separately, which is easier that going from side to side with each stitch. These can be still sewn into the same spaces on the body. I use extra blunt needles to hold things on, can't prick my fingers. Doll neeedles(long) and mattress needles(longer) are very good for getting positioning even.

So when you are doing the ears are you going under the ear through the head and then bring it back the other way through the ear. Or are you going through the head and ear at the same time then back through the ear only?
