Use the yarn under single crochet technique to achieve tighter, more aligned stitches.
Learn how to seamlessly change color in crochet mid-row or round to create clean color transitions.
Crochet in continuous spiral rounds. Do not join at the end of each round unless otherwise stated.
Use a running stitch marker to keep your place when crocheting in rounds.
Use the ultimate finish to neatly close up your amigurumi pieces.
Use the invisible fasten-off method to create a smooth, knot-free edge that blends perfectly with your stitches.

Why I Made This

Toy Story is one of my favorite Disney movies. When it first premiered, my favorite character was Woody, perhaps because I sympathized with him as Andy's attention shifted to Buzz Lightyear. However, as more Toy Story movies were released, Buzz grew on me and became one of my favorite Disney characters.

Back in elementary school, my brother's class participated in a Christmas concert themed around a toy shop. When asked what he wanted to be, he chose Buzz Lightyear. My mom and I crafted a Buzz Lightyear costume for him out of cardboard, complete with movable parts and expandable wings. It's still one of the most impressive DIY costumes we've ever made.

Years later, my brother got a Buzz Lightyear hoodie from Disneyland, which he wears frequently. Inspired by this, I decided to crochet a bunny wearing a Buzz Lightyear hoodie as a birthday gift for him. This creation quickly became one of my favorites, leading me to make another one for myself.

This Buzz Lightyear Bunny combines my love for Disney, Toy Story, and amigurumi crochet. It's a fun and whimsical project that brings a touch of Pixar magic to handmade crafts.
