What is “amigurumi”? 

Amigurumi (pronounced ah-mee-goo-roo-mee from Japanese) is the art of crocheting small, stuffed toys or objects.

Amigurumi come in all shapes and sizes, from fluffy animals and fantasy creatures to food items and everyday objects. You can even knit amigurumi. The possibilities are endless!

Amigurumi patterns typically use basic crochet stitches (mostly US single crochets) with increases and decreases used to create the desired shapes and textures.
