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.[3]
By 2006, amigurumi were reported to be some of the most popular items on Etsy, an online craft marketplace, where they typically sold for $10 to $100.[3]
