The word means knitted or crochet doll in Japanese and they are so varied, have such great expression and are so fun, you’ll fall in love as I have.. I was on youtube looking at something eles and then I saw this clip on cupcake bears and thought they were adorable and triggered me to find out what Amirugumi was http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=GgceMpaK9PA I have made two already, they are quick and quiet easy to do.

Yes they are so cute, I liked the lilac coloured one of course, I can see people having them like little pet rocks, if I was making them I would put hair on them, all different styles...

They're soooo cute!... I make some crochet stuffed animals, like little monsters, but never had thought about dolls. It's amazing what one can learn around here, isn't it?

They are fun to make once you've got the hang of it it's quick too... Many different styles you can do to to make them your own... Imagination a basic crafting(crochet) skills is all you need...

I have seen Amirugumi myself before, and think that it is a very cute craft, I have even thought of making some myself, once I get better at crocheting. They are great gifts...

It is so cute but i think it is very hard to make one. I guess i could not make one myself. But i would love to learn how to do it. :D

Well if you have a crochete hook and some wool, watch some you tube on how to crochete and that will soon help you be on your way.. All you need is a little patience and some persistance.... Good Luck if you try
