Amigurumi
Cuteness overloaded, handle with care
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 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. While the art of amigurumi has been known in Japan for several decades, the craft
first started appealing to the masses in other countries, especially in the West, in 2003.
