I need help, again ๐Ÿ˜…

I started crochet a border collie today, Iโ€™m almost done. And I wanted to make the final result fluffy, but I need help with attaching the yarn onto the finished piece. The other week I made a hamster for my cousin and she wanted it fluffy. The way I attached the yarn was wrapping some yarn around two of my fingers multiple times, and cut it to get the same length. I then took a strand, went through a stitch, grabbed the middle of the strand so there was a loop. Then pulled the two strands created through the loop. But I didnโ€™t really like the end result, you could see where you attatched the yarn and it looked bulky. Does anyone else know how to attach yarn on a finished amigirumi piece? I have tried to loop stitch but when I cut the loop, the stitch comes apart when other crocheters do it doesnโ€™t come undone, and it makes it harder to see the stitch when using the loop stitch. Iโ€™d really appreciate some help. :slightly_smiling_face:

If I understand you want to make a finished piece fluffy? If yes you can try this

You can also surface crochet with the yarn you want to use

If that doesnโ€™t help let me know and I can try and find another way to help :smile:

Oh wow!! Thank you so much for these!! Ive always wondered about these techniques, but because I never made anything that uses them I never bothered looking it up! :laughing:

I cant believe you can just brush out a finished piece!! I thought people were using a very furry yarn! I would completely expect brushing out the piece to destroy all the stitches!

Yeah I was surprised you can just brush the stitches without it being destroyed! Iโ€™ve used this method before and I love the results :smile:
