How to brush amigurumi

If you want to add a fluffy look to your animals, you can simply brush your amigurumi! With this technique, you can make your amigurumi stand out and add an extra cuteness factor. It is also very easy to do! Just grab a pet brush and start brushing!

You don’t have to be particularly careful either, and you can brush much or less, depending on what kind of look you want!

Suitable yarn for brushing

I am working on an amigurumi cat. I have already made a pattern for a cat, so I wanted this. to look a little different. When it comes to brushing, it is important to use yarn with natural fibers, like wool or alpaca yarn. Luckily, I had some leftover yarn with natural fibers.

I also had a brush fitting for this technique, an animal brush for long haired animals.

In this video you can see how I brush the head of the cat.

The pattern is being written up and we’ll share it as soon as it is ready. You can basally follow any amigurumi pattern, use natural fiber yarn and brush it afterwards.
