Conclusion

Your adorable mini camera amigurumi is now ready for use as a keychain, bag charm, or as a fun gift! Easily customizable in color, these are quick projects using only basic stitches and simple assembly.

Pattern Correction

• Be careful to work both panels identically for a perfect oval match.
• Mark the first stitch in each spiral round for camera body sides—this prevents losing track of rounds.
• Ensure you switch to normal sc (not BLO) after the first border round for a neater shape.
• If desired, increase lens or flash size by adjusting the number of stitches.

Tips

• Use invisible/ladder stitch when sewing pieces for an extra clean finish.
• Embroidering the flash feature before closing the body prevents difficulty with the needle.
• Use safety eyes or beads for a different look for the "lens".
• Attach key ring through stitches, NOT stuffing, for durability.
