Amigurumi are small stuffed toys made by knitting or crocheting yarn. They look very cute and cuddly. People in Japan started making these fun figures years ago. The art became popular worldwide online around 2003. You can see them for sale on sites like Etsy today.
These special toys use simple crochet stitches to create their shapes. Sometimes they're made as one piece, other times separate parts are joined together. Amigurumi often have small stuffing inside. They aren't just for kids' play; many adults enjoy making them too. Artists sometimes add details to make the toys poseable or include little stones for balance.
