Yarn needle -> i recommend get them in several sizes, with a blunt tip (so you don't split the yarn). You will need them very often in amigurumi: the bigger ones for sewing your pieces together and the smaller ones are perfect for embroidery or sewing smaller pieces.
Scissors or cutter -> if you prefer scissors i can really recommend these beautiful high-quality, ergonomically shaped scissors
OR: If you prefer a cutter - like me - i really recommend this quick to grab yarn cutter
Safety Eyes:11 mm-> i recommend to get them in a set with different sizes

Check out this super practical yarn bowl!
I just got one and it's amazing, it's heavy enough to not move when i pull on the yarn and no more chasing of yarn that's rolling around in my flat.
Notes
The body and head are crocheted in one piece in the round. The wings are crocheted in rows and then sewn to the body. We don't make turning chains on the wings.
