Toys & Amigurumi

Browse crochet animals, dolls, seasonal characters, and small amigurumi projects. Amigurumi is the Japanese craft of making stuffed yarn figures, often using single crochet worked in rounds. Read the complete pattern first and choose a project that matches the techniques you already know or want to practise.

Use a stitch marker to track the start of each round and count stitches before adding stuffing. A firm fabric helps keep filling inside; changing yarn or hook size changes the finished dimensions. For a baby or young child, use embroidered features instead of plastic eyes, buttons, or other detachable parts. Products sold as safety eyes are still small components and do not make a handmade toy automatically safe. Inspect seams and attachments carefully, and treat delicate ornaments as decorations.
