I Make Toys For Fun

19

ADVERTISEMENT

Growing up, I’ve always been fond of stuffed animals and I made it my goal to be able to create and design my own as well. When I was in the 6th grade, I learned all about crochet and since then, I was hooked. I got to find out that any type of string or yarn can be turned into creatures from my wildest imagination.

I make big toys and small toys, cartoon characters and random imaginary ones as well.

This type of crochet is called amigurumi. Since 2006, amigurumi has become popular and you can find oodles of adorable designs online! Here are some of my designs.

    once you've gotten the basics down (chain, single crochet, slip stitch, and maybe a magic ring), you can make any animal your heart desires already! I can't remember the last time i used other stitches!!!
