Amigurumi, the new trend
Little pieces of art, hand-made with love
What is Amigurumi?
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".[1]
Amigurumi vary in size and there are no restrictions about size or
look.[2] 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.
