Amigurumi are knitted and crocheted small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures – and they’re a whole lot of fun! I’ve made amigurumi, but I’ve never written down the patterns. So complex! But some designers are just that talented, and here are 10 free amigurumi patterns that are sure to impress! And they’re a mix of knit and crochet – something for everybody!

What a great round-up of cute amigurumi patterns! I’m trying out amigurumi for the first time (just completed my first one and in the middle of my second) and it’s a different kind of rewarding to make a little stuffed animal. So fun!
