This time I used a soft yarn because I wanted it to have a metallic sheen, and it worked, but I don’t think I’ll be using baby yarn for amigurumi again anytime soon! The stitches slipped out very easily, and it’s not nearly as stable as it should be for a kid’s toy. It looked “gold” like he wanted, but it’s not worth the fragility of the project. Next time I’ll be using a regular yarn!

Happy Friday, Everyone!
