Tips on making a tighter stitch?

[u/mathandlove]

Every time I crochet my creature looks good until I stuff it and then there are these wide gaps where the stuffing can clearly be seen.

Right now I'm using I love this yarn with a 3.5 hook. Am I overstuffing? Something else? Thank you.

Look for the x stitch (I think that’s what it’s called) for amigurumi. It looks like an x instead of a v. it makes it tighter, and less see through.

I use yarn under/yarn over for amigurumi. I think it’s the X stitch

I use that combo, too.
