If you are as in love with cuddly toys as I am, then you will love amigurumi. This adorably satisfying hobby will keep you busy for hours.
Get out your crochet hooks and start retouching. Here’s everything you need to know about amigurumi, including what to start with and some tips!
Amigurumi is a combination of two Japanese words: “ami” and “nuigurumi”. Both words are combined to form amigurumi, which means knitted or crocheted stuffed animal.
Amigurumi can be knitted, but better to knit. Crocheting creates a much thicker and tighter end result, which makes it best for round shapes.
