What is amigurumi? Amigurumi is a Japanese technique that combines crochet with embroidery, knitting and sewing. The result is usually a small crocheted animal or character. It can also be a personified object such as a cupcake or other sweet, sushi, a mug, a flower or a piece of fruit. Embroidered or attached eyes, a nose, arms or legs give these inanimate objects a human-like appearance.
