36+ Free Crochet Amigurumi Patterns
April 25 is International Amigurumi Day and I want you to be ready to celebrate with your latest creation. If you’ve heard the word “amigurumi” but have wondered what it means, it combines the Japanese words for crocheted or knitted AND stuffed doll. In the US, we use the word amigurumi to describe any kind of stuffed toy, including dolls, animals, plants, monsters, fantasy creatures, and more! Today’s collection includes 36+ free crochet amigurumi patterns so you can show off your crochet pride with a brand new creation in time for International Amigurumi Day this year!
