Let me introduce you to the world of Amigurumi!
Amigurumi
is the Japanese art of creating stuffed yarn miniature figures/toys. The
word derives from two Japanese words:
"ami" meaning to knit, to crochet and
"nuigurumi" meaning a stuffed doll. The
amigurumis are usually crocheted using crochet techniques such as:
single crochet (sc), double crochet (dc), etc.
