Place a stitch marker or scrap yarn
through your “live” stitch. Set the base of
your frappe on a small section of
cardboard and trace around the bottom
(smallest part). Cut out the cardboard
circle and place it inside your frappe. This
keeps the bottom supported and level so
your little guy won’t tip over.
Insert safety eyes between rounds 11 and
12, about 5 stitches apart. Embroider a
smile between both eyes.

Time to stuff! It’s important to stuff very
firmly so your amigurumi has structure
and stays looking nice for a long time.
Grab a big chunk of stuffing (much more
than you would think) and get started. It’s
better to use a big chunk rather than
several smaller pieces. Using the smaller
pieces can make your piece lumpy and
bumpy, and nobody wants that! Stuff your
frappe until you can’t stuff anymore.
