Level of Difficulty
This project is Advanced. It involves frequent color changes, creating small parts (hands, ears, tail), complex assembly of the jacket, and a highly detailed, multi-part hair structure that requires precise placement and stitching. Embroidery of the eyes, nose, and eyebrows also requires skill and patience.
Tutor's Suggestions
The instructor provides important advice on technique and assembly:
-
Arm Assembly: When attaching the hand (skin color) to the sleeve (dark blue), ensure you align them correctly so the thumb-side of the hand faces up on both the left and right arms before sewing.
-
Leg Detail: When embroidering the black waist/leg detail, count out seven stitches from the center on each side to ensure the V-shape is centered and symmetrical.
-
Stuffing: Use a support rod inside the neck/body before stuffing the head. Stuff the head firmly and evenly as you progress through the closing rounds to ensure a perfectly round shape.
-
Hair Placement: When positioning the main hair cap, align the center-front fringe piece exactly between the eyes and secure it first before positioning the side and back locks.
-
Ear Placement: Guide the ears' placement using the eye-line; position them four stitches away from the eyes on the same line.
The process of making it is relaxing and mindful, letting you enjoy each stitch as the character slowly comes to life.
Beyond its cute appearance, this project is a great way to practice and improve crochet techniques, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters.

Special Features
-
Chibi Design: The doll features an oversized head and small body proportion, characteristic of the cute chibi style.
-
Layered Hair: The hair is created in multiple pieces, including a large cap and two separate side pieces, to achieve Tomoe's voluminous, layered look. The shorter fringe pieces are left unsewn at the bottom for movement.
-
Uniform Detailing: The uniform includes a detailed color transition from the white shirt to the light blue trousers, a contrasting dark blue jacket, and embroidered black waist ties.
-
Embedded Support: A silicone bar is inserted into the body to provide firm support for the large head, preventing it from wobbling.
-
Fox Features: The piece includes the two characteristic fox ears and a small, stuffed tail.
Combining artistry, fun, and the joy of handmade creation, this figure brings the beloved anime character into a tangible, adorable form that fans and crafters alike will cherish.
Conclusion
Congratulations on completing your Tomoe amigurumi! This highly detailed figure captures the essence of the character, from his elegant uniform to his striking silver hair and fox features, making him a fantastic display piece.
Tip
Use a small dab of clear fabric glue or hot glue on the reverse side of the hair cap (the area that rests on the head) after you have fully finalized the placement. This will provide a permanent, smooth bond between the hair cap and the head, preventing any shifting or gaps over time, which is especially important for multi-layered hair designs.
