Amigurumi (Japanese: 編みぐるみ, lit. "crocheted or knitted stuffed toy") is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word is a compound of the Japanese words ami,meaning "crocheted or knitted",and Kurumi, literally "wrapping", as in amigurumi "(sewn) stuffed doll".Amigurumi is essentially the same as crochet, only it refers specifically to the process of making 3D toys. Amigurumi almost always involves working in the round, making spheres that are then stuffed to form the limbs of some adorable little animals.
