Amigurumi is a Japanese word for little stuffed animals. They are usually made from crocheted yarn and have an oversized head. The Japanese word "Ami" means crocheted, and "nuigurumi" means stuffed doll.This is a very easy crochet pattern and great for beginners.
The size of the Doll depends on the size of the crochet hook, thickness of yarn and how you stuff them; a bigger hook and thicker yarn makes a bigger doll. A doll stuffed tightly is bigger than one stuffed loosely.
Size: The dolls are 3 inches/ 7.5 cm high (excluding ears).
