Amigurumi Crochet

What is it?

The extremely cute art of Amigurumi, is a Japanese art that involves creating incredibly adorable little creatures and objects by kitting or crocheting them!

Typically the objects are animals, but they can also be everyday objects (like in the picture below) that have specially cute human-like features e.g eyes or rosy cheeks!

The crochet points are usually closed up and there are no gaps, they are very neatly made and are becoming more and more popular! But come on, who can resist them?

3.Have a theme. In this case the theme is hearts.

4.Use as varied colour as possible.

5.Have interesting shapes and textures

6.Add patterns to your card.

7.Write a sweet personal message inside!
