Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting stuffed toys. There are no restrictions in size or set style despite the usual expectation that they will be small. The term is an merging of the words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.

Amigurumi Baymax
My New Year blog post catch up continues. I’m now working through all the part written posts. I started this last August, it’s only been on hold because I hadn’t embroidered the eyes. That’s been rectified today so I can get it marked off. Sometimes I volunteer to do things without really knowing if I can. “Sure I can make a Baymax” being a case in point.

Simple Crochet Christmas Bauble
This bauble pattern can be adapted in a number of ways, plain, sparkly, striped and with a variety of adornments. I’ve worked this in a DK acrylic (as that’s what I had to hand) but it could be made with most yarns, each giving a different effect.

Amigurumi Elephant
This was the first pattern used in the amigurumi class, it shows how using the same basic technique can make a variety of shapes. Elephant is approximately 19 cm / 7.5 inches tall when sat. (Also I put the legs and arms on in the wrong place, but had sewed them on to well to remove and set right) 😀
