Frequently Asked Questions
Your completed amigurumi will measure approximately 16 cm (6.2 inches) tall when made with the specified yarn weight and 3mm crochet hook. The final size may vary slightly depending on your tension and how firmly you stuff the doll.
While the pattern is designed with Hatsune Miku’s iconic colors (teal/tiffany blue hair, grey and black outfit), you can certainly customize the colors to create your own unique version. Just make sure all your yarns are compatible with a 3mm hook for consistent sizing.
Use a stitch marker or contrasting piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each round. Move the marker up as you complete each round. This is essential for keeping track of your progress, especially during shaping sections like the head.
Insert the safety eyes between rounds 9 and 10 of the head, positioning them ten stitches apart on the curved side (opposite the increases from round 6). Make sure to attach them before you finish stuffing and closing the head, as they cannot be inserted once the head is completed.
