I’m making an amigurumi for my baby cousin so I want sewn on facial features on it rather than buttons and bits. But I dont know how to do it. Can you help?

Once you decide on a color you can just sew the facial features in place. If you knit the amigurumi then you can put the needle down through the individual stitches. YOu could do one stitch and then come back up in the middle of it with the needle and make another stitch, thats one way to make a curve in embroidery. With the nose you could do the same thing or just come up with your first stitch and before you pull it tight slip the needle and thread under and pull it down. After you do this a few times a little mound of thread will build up that won’t break off. It’s good to do for the eyes too.
