Amigurumi is the Japanese art of creating small, stuffed crocheted or knitted toys, with the word itself combining the Japanese words "ami" (crocheted or knitted) and "nuigurumi" (stuffed doll).
These charming, three-dimensional creations can take the form of animals, characters, or even inanimate objects like food, and are typically made with yarn and a single crochet hook or knitting needles.
The resulting projects are then filled with stuffing to give them a soft, plush feel.
