Knit & Crochet Amigurumi Animals
The world of knit and crochet patterns has been taken over with the rise of the Amigurumi.
What is Amigurumi? It is the Japanese art of crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures, sometimes misspoken, or misspelled, as amigami. No matter how you say it, they are downright adorable.
The creatures featured in crochet or knit Amigurumi patterns range anywhere from your everyday pets to mythical creatures, even favorite TV or movie characters.
We have gathered a collection of some of the cutest crochet and knit Amigurumi patterns. You won’t be able to choose just one to create!
