Aw, thanks. I'll give this a shot.
My current hamster is hand tamed and will ride around on my shoulder without trying to get away.
My last hamster used to sleep in my pocket if it was wearing basketball shorts or in the pouch in the front if I was wearing a hoody.

I also had a little donut bed he liked curling up in. So he'd curl up in that on the sofa, I'd lift it onto my knee. He would only stay in it if I then put a blanket over the top.
Focus on hand taming - bathtub taming - until they are easily picked up without wriggling and don't try and run away.
It was this one. Only for out of cage use really as if they chew it,it has stuffing inside that could block their pouches or gut.

I also had a fleece blanket that was for the hamster - so had his smell on it.
Three different hamsters liked it. But they have to be in the mood! And feel safe and relaxed. So as well as taming you need to keep their trust. Don't mess with their nest and hoard and if you do, do it very very respectfully
