Step 1: Choose Your Thread and Needle: Pick a soft pink or any blush color you like—lighter shades give a gentle effect, while bold hues add flair. Thread a thin embroidery thread or yarn onto a small needle that can pass through stitches without leaving holes.

Step 2: Plan Your Blush Placement: Decide where you want the blush on your amigurumi. Typically, this goes right under the eyes. You can use pins or a tiny dot of fabric chalk to mark the spots so both sides look even.

Step 3: Start Embroidering the Blush: Bring your needle from the inside of your stuffed crochet piece to the front at the marked spot. Make small, even stitches in a circular or semi-circular shape to create the blush—just a few stitches will do! When finished, weave the thread inside to secure it, then snip off the excess.

Okey Dokeys Tip: Keep it Light and Cute 

If you’re going for a soft, subtle look, try not to overdo it with the stitches. Just a few small stitches can create the perfect blush. If you want a more pronounced effect, you can make the stitches a bit closer together for a deeper color.

Embroidering blush adds a playful and personal touch to your crochet creations. It’s an easy way to give your amigurumi characters more personality and charm. Here at Okey Dokeys, we love seeing how tiny details like this make a big impact. Give it a try, and watch your creations come to life with a cute blush!
