I once got a really great tip here on the forum. Knitted items are usually looser than crocheted ones, and to keep the stuffing from showing, you just stuff it into an old pair of sheer tights. I thought that was just brilliant.
When crocheting, I usually use a hook half a size smaller than what’s recommended for the yarn—that’s enough—but I also tend to crochet quite tightly.

You should take your time when assembling the individual pieces. Many people put a lot of effort into crocheting, working carefully and evenly. But the “tedious” sewing is then done quickly and with an attitude of “oh well, whatever—as long as it’s done!” And that’s where it unfortunately falls apart. Take your time to pin everything straight, and keep checking and correcting as you go! If an eye is crooked, carefully remove it and sew it on again. It’s just yarn, not superglue 😂 So you can always undo it, and even if it takes several tries, the beautiful end result is worth it. ☺️
