Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed animals and figures. Typically made with yarn, these creations are often characterized by their cute, whimsical designs and are usually hollow, filled with materials like fabric or stuffing. Amigurumi can range from simple shapes to intricate designs and are popular as gifts, collectibles, or home decor. The technique involves using basic crochet stitches to form various parts, which are then sewn together. Its appeal lies in the creativity and personalization involved, making each piece unique and often cherished.
