Amigurumi

The art of crocheting small, stuffed figures

---

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word is a compound of the Japanese words 編み ami, meaning "crocheted or knitted", and 包み kurumi, literally "wrapping", as in 縫い包み nuigurumi "(sewn) stuffed doll". Amigurumi vary in size and there are no restrictions about size or look. Amigurumi are crocheted using the basic techniques of crochet (such as single crochet stitch, double crochet, and invisible decrease). Amigurumi can be worked as one piece or in sections which are sewed or crocheted together.
