How to Choose Amigurumi Colors

What this tutorial includes

This guide combines theory and practice, so you can apply what you learn right away. Throughout the tutorial, I use real crochet toy examples from the MonoxaToys collection to illustrate each concept as it appears.

You’ll explore:

• The basics of color theory for amigurumi

• A short history of the color wheel and how to use it in crochet design

• The most common color combinations used in amigurumi creation

• How to work with neutrals, main colors, accent colors, and pop colors

• Why some color palettes feel balanced while others do not

Each principle is shown in context, using finished toys to demonstrate how these choices work in real designs — not just in theory.

Who this tutorial is for

This tutorial is ideal for:

• Crocheters who want to design their own toys

• Amigurumi makers ready to move beyond following patterns

• Designers who struggle with color confidence

• Makers who want their crochet toys to feel intentional

Why color matters

A crochet toy can have perfect proportions and clean stitches. Still, it may feel unfinished. Very often, color is the missing piece. When you understand how colors work together, your toys feel complete, expressive, and memorable.

Therefore, this guide gives you a clear framework you can reuse for every new project — even before you pick up your hook.
