What is Amigurumi?
Amigurumi is the art of crocheting or knitting small, stuffed toys, usually in the shape of cute animals or characters. It comes from Japan and combines the words for “crocheted or knitted” (ami) and “stuffed doll” (nuigurumi).
I learned crochet from my grandmother as a child, who made lovely afghans and warm house slippers. When she passed away I inherited a lot of her supplies, patterns and yarn, and very soon after I was introduced to amigurumi by a friend, and was quickly hooked. (Apologies for the bad crochet pun! 😂)
