Here are some additional tips for crocheting amigurumi:

• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.
• If you have trouble stuffing the body, use a chopstick or other blunt object to push the stuffing in.
• Be careful not to overstuff the body, making it difficult to crochet the other parts.
• If you make a mistake, don't worry! Just frog (undo) your stitches back to the mistake and start over.

With a little practice, you can crochet this adorable amigurumi lemur quickly!
