What is Amigurumi?

AmigurumiAmigurumi (Japanese: from Amu (to knit) and Nuigurumi (doll), refers to the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed animals for home decoration or toys. Amigurumi are usually animals, such as bears, rabbits, cats (amineko) etc, but can also include other items. Amigurumi designs are worked in spirals – the type of crocheting where the rounds are joined is not technically amigurumi. In general, amigurumi consists of large, round, oversized heads on cylindrical bodies. Though amigurumi is now loosely used as a term to describe any crocheted stuffed toy, true amigurumi is made from the same base look: a large sphere for the head, a cylinder for the body, and undersized extremities.
