You have got to love amigurumi, another wonderful gift from the Japanese. I had to share this. They are so cute. My mum just taught me to crochet and I can’t wait to make some.
Can you tell that YouTube is my new best friend? My obsession with YouTube has been building for a long while. It is addictive. I will be uploading and posting my own video tutorials on One Hour Craft within the next month. I can’t wait to be able to share some of my favourite craft tutorials with you. Only, I hope you can all understand my Aussie accent?
Enjoy!

Voilia the official Wikipedia definition: “Amigurumi (Japanese: from Amu (to knit)and Nuigurumi (doll), but refers only to crocheted dolls. This is a Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed animals for home decoration or toys. Amigurumi can take on many different forms though are typically animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs etc), but can include other items.Amigurumi is usually crocheted out of yarn. The simplest designs are worked in spirals (the type of crocheting where the rounds are joined is not technically amigurumi). In general, amigurumi consists of large, round, oversized heads on cylindrical bodies. Though amigurumi is now loosely used as a term to describe any crocheted stuffed toy, true amigurumi is made from the same base look- large sphere for the head, and a cylinder for the body, with extremities being undersized.”
Thanks to Dina from Crochetville for this very cute (in the photo above) Amigurumi (crochet) pattern to make Gromit. I can’t wait to attempt to make this. If you want to take the time to learn to crochet, it is great fun and very simple to do (when you get the hang of it). I find it easier than knitting and you can make these little creatures in a short time (depending on how fast you can crochet).
Ready to learn to crochet? Martha Stewart brings us a really good learn to crochet tutorial with clear illustrations.

A nice little crochet blog I like to read is Craftypants. Visit her for all sorts of gorgeous little Amigurumi animals and free patterns. Crochet is like any other craft. When you get the hang of it, it is totally addictive. If you are like me, you never have your hands free. I spend every evening making things. It is my relaxation and a way to slow down after a too-busy day! Hope you enjoy! I
If you find any cool Amigurumi sites (particularly Japanese sites), please email me.
