Finishing off
(The video is texted in English (US-terms), so remember to turn those on.)
Here I show you how to make the nicest way of finishing off and weaving in the end after you have made amigurumi (such as rattleballs, stars and the Comfort Mouse).
Finishing off: How to
When you have finished crocheting your amigurumi and have reached the end, cut the yarn, then put a good yarn needle in the end, to start sewing the opening end together. You sew a stitch in each stitch, and only in the outer/front loop, as it gives the nicest result. When you have sewn around all the outer/front stitches, pull the string well to tighten the opening. Then you tie a knot, and weave the yarn, by sticking the needle into the ball and out again on the other side. Then you cut the thread, and thereby you hide the thread inside the ball.
