This little pink critter is an original by Sara (aka Kermsm70). Sara made little monster heads as Halloween gifts for her students and this little cutie was the class favorite. It's not hard to see why!

I'm so glad that people have been enjoying the opportunity to share what's on their hooks and I love seeing what you're making. Next time you're working on a little amigurumi project, please don't forget to share with all of us through the Flikr group!

What is amigurumi?

Amigurumi(編み包み) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically cute animals (such as bears, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc.), but can include inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features. Amigurumi can be either knitted or crocheted. In recent years crocheted amigurumi are more popular and more commonly seen.
