Amigurumi is a crochet technique where you work in the round to create soft, stuffed figures like animals or dolls. Instead of crocheting rows, you crochet in spirals—starting with a magic ring and building up the shape with increases and decreases. There are no turning chains; each round continues seamlessly into the next. This method creates a smooth, 3D structure that can be stuffed as you go. Stitch markers help you keep track of your rounds. After crocheting all the parts, you sew them together to complete a handmade figure full of character.
