Amigurumi is any object that has been crocheted and stuffed. Some examples would be crochet food, crochet animals, crochet cactus.
Amigurumi Basics
1. It uses a smaller hook to create a tighter stitch, so the stuffing stays inside.
It is crochet in the round.
2. It uses increase and decrease stitches throughout the pattern to give desired shape.
3. All pieces/parts/limbs are crocheted separately and attached.
You can be as creative as you wish when making an amigurumi. You can add emotion to your shape adding eyes, cheeks, and more.
