Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features, as is typical in Japanese culture.
While amigurumi have been popular in Japan for several decades, amigurumi first started appealing to the masses in other countries, especially in the West, in 2003. By 2006, amigurumi were reported to be some of the most popular items on Etsy, an online craft marketplace, where they typically sold for $10 to $100. Since then popularity has continued to increase.
Thank you for joining me on my crochet journey and for watching my videos. Now most of these crochet tutorials can use standard on the shelf crochet, knitting yarn or thread. The supplies I use most often are from Lion Brand, Red Heart, and Caron yarn. The tools I use are Fiskar and Westcott scissors. Susan Bates Tapestry Needle. Boye Crochet Hooks. The great thing with YouTube is watching video on demand at any time of the day. For those of you with mobile devices, you can crochet at the beach, park or during breaks from work. Some of the video available are hats, scarves, afghans, lace doilies, flowers, baby blankets, shawls, granny squares and stitches. Crochet can be compared to meditation and is a great way to stay focused. Please subscribe for new crochet video on YouTube.
