Crochet Amigurumi Animal

Crocheting animals or Crochet amigurumi is just plain fun. Free crochet patterns for a myriad of animals are included here. You'll find lions and tigers and bears! If you love cats or dogs, you'll find those here too. Crochet a toy for a child or one for yourself. These would make great bazaar items to sell. A few free amigurumi patterns are also included.
Unless extra large, all of these projects are quick to make. They don't use a lot of yarn either.

Amigurumi is the making of little stuffed toys - usually cute animal characters - with human-like expressions and personalities. The toys are crocheted (or sometimes knitted) with yarn, and the basic stitch for all amigurumi is the 'single crochet stitch'. Amigurumi is a trend that originated in Japan, and it is a very creative, versatile craft, so you can let your imagination go wild!
Amigurumi crochet started out as simple animal patterns that are usually small, but has grown to include patterns for many other projects. You'll find several amigurumi animals to choose from this app. There are enough patterns here to make a set of sea animals or a set of zoo animals to crochet a special gift set for a child. Many of the little animals or characters have large heads. The big head, small body dolls are very popular Japanese dolls. The large eyes add to the cuteness. You can choose to sew buttons or safety eyes on. I prefer embroidering eyes on to make it safer for small children.

In this app you will find a section all about learning the techniques involved in amigurumi, with picture lessons and tutorials, and then there is a list of free patterns for you to use to get started. The pattern designs include kittens, penguins, owl, dragons, bear and much more.

You only need crochet hooks, yarn, stuffing, plastic eyes, embroidery thread and a needle to get started, so it's an inexpensive craft AND it's a fun hobby for every age from young to old. I hope this app inspires you to give it a go!
