Oh, changing colors in amigurumis and wanting them perfectly aligned? Now that’s a skill that separates the casual crocheter from the pro! The secret is to plan your color changes at the end of a stitch rather than the beginning, so your new color starts cleanly without any awkward bumps. I like to finish the last stitch of the old color but don’t complete that final yarn over—instead, yarn over with the new color and pull through. This way, your stitches line up like a well-rehearsed choir, all singing in harmony. It takes a bit of practice, but once you master it, your amigurumi will have color changes so neat even your grandma would be impressed!
Great tips in this thread!
To change colors in amigurumi and keep it neat, I suggest you work in spiral rounds and join new yarns at the beginning of each round. When switching, make sure to leave the old color's tail long enough to weave in later. Try to keep the color change right at the edge of the stitch, so the join is neat and aligned. It helps to pull the new color tight when you begin to prevent any gaps!
