    • Giftable: From baby showers to birthdays, personalized stuffed animals are an amazing gift
    • Beginner skills: Single crochet is the most common amigurumi stitch

    Is amigurumi harder than crochet?

    Amigurumi is a type of crochet and it tends to be easier than larger projects like sweaters and blankets. Amigurumi stuffed animals are made up of easy techniques - like the single crochet stitch - which makes them fairly easy fast crochet projects.

    Stitches + Techniques for Amigurumi Animals 

    If you know the basics of crochet, you can make a stuffed animal! Many of these cute critters might seem different in concept, but they actually share very similar shapes and elements. Understanding this can give you confidence in tackling a wide variety of amigurumi patterns.

    Common Stitches and Abbreviations

    While each pattern might call for different stitches and skills, magic circles and single crochet stitches are typically the base for most crochet animals. Here are common stitches and abbreviations you likely come across:

    Common Crochet StitchAbbreviation
    magic circle / magic ringmc / mr
    Single crochet stitchsc
    Double crochet stitchdc
    Single stitch increaseinc
    Invisible decreaseinv dec
    Slip stitchslst

    PRO TIP: Crochet patterns can be written in US or UK terms. Be sure to check the animal pattern you’re following to verify which are used. The above are US terms for crochet stitches.

    Working in Spiral Rounds

    Most of the pieces in amigurumi patterns are worked in continuous rounds without joining the ends of each round with a slip stitch. This is quite easy because you just continue crocheting as if working up a spiral staircase.

    PRO TIP: When crocheting in spiral rounds, it's extremely helpful to place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round. This helps you keep track of where the round officially begins. Move it up to the next round each time you encounter it.

    Changing Colors

    It is also helpful to know things like how to change colors, but not every animal pattern will require it. To simplify a project, look for opportunities to reduce color changes and stripes.

    Common Shapes

    If you’re feeling intimidated to crochet your first animal pattern, it can be helpful to think of the creature as a series of simple shapes. Most stuffed animals are “built” from a combination of:

    • spheres
    • tubes
    • ovids (aka 3D ovals)

    Using only basic crochet stitches, you’ll be able to create almost any of the shapes used in crochet animal patterns. Easy peasy! 

    Supplies for Amigurumi Animals

    Since there are so many different ways to crochet amigurumi animals, your project could require some unique supplies. Here's a list of basic materials you’ll most likely need to make most animal patterns:

    • Yarn - find more details on choosing a yarn below
    • Hooks
    • Yarn needle - for joining pieces and weaving in ends
    • Stitch markers - for keeping your rounds even and marking where to attach limbs
    • Scissors
    • Measuring tape
    • Polyfil or other stuffing
    • Erasable fabric pen - for marking placement of eyes and limbs
    • Blush makeup - for adding rosy cheeks
    • Safety eyes*
    • Embroidery floss - for adding eyes and facial features
    • Beads or buttons - for eyes or clothing details
    • Key rings and chains - to turn a small plushie into a keychain

    *When creating toys for small children, safety eyes can pose a choking hazard. It's best to use embroidered or sewed-on eyes for kids under age three.

    PRO TIP: Put a small piece of felt behind safety eyes to make cute eyelids and give your crochet animals an even more animated look. (See example below.)

    How to Make an Extra Cute Animal 

    A huge part of the charm of amigurumi animals is their cute factor. So let’s take a minute to talk about what actually makes a crochet animal irresistibly adorable. This way, if your project isn’t ending up as charming as you imagined, you can think about what it might be missing. 

    While each person will have different ideas of what they consider cute, there are some common threads (pun intended!)

    Here are a few things to consider when planning the cutest possible critter:

    • Makeup - things like blush can add human details like rosy cheeks
    • Details - large embroidered eyes and felt eyelids (explained above) can make your amigurumi critter extra expressive
    • Textured yarn - fluffy or fuzzy yarn can give your creations a finished look

    BONUS IDEA: Give your stuffed animal extra personality by adding one or two human-like accessories. Folding wire to make mini glasses or giving your stuffie a sweet crocheted bow or tiny scarf can really level up the cuteness quotient.

    “Brushing Out” Amigurumi Animals

    If you are an advanced beginner and want to add texture to your toy, you could also try a brush-out technique using natural fiber or natural fiber blend yarn. For that, look for something with at least 50% natural fiber, like wool. 

    Check out this video tutorial for detailed instructions on how to make your crochet animals look fluffy by “brushing” the yarn:

    Best Yarn for Crocheting Animals

    Not all yarn is created equal. Some kinds are better for crocheting amigurumi animals than others, here are some guidelines to help you pick the best yarn for your plush projects.

    Consider Fiber Type

    Acrylic is often the best yarn for crocheting amigurumi projects. Not only is it soft, but it's usually machine washable and easy to take care of—ideal for well-loved stuffed animals. I like Lion Brand Basic Stitch because it comes in a wide variety of colors and resists pilling with lots of use.

    Cotton yarn or cotton blend yarn is also a good choice since it holds its shape well and is easy to work with. Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton is one of my favorites because the texture is both soft and durable. I’ve found it works really well for crochet toys. And 24/7 Cotton is available in a DK weight and a light worsted weight. 

    Consider Yarn Weight

    While you can use worsted weight yarn, sport weight is most commonly used when crocheting amigurumi animals. Sport and DK weight yarn allow for a lot of stitch detail and can be the perfect thickness for small crochet animal patterns.

    Amigurumi Animal Yarn Suggestions

    Here are some good Lion Brand yarns to try when crocheting amigurumi animals:

    • 24/7 Cotton - vibrant, saturated colors and awesome stitch definition
    • 24/7 Cotton DK - same benefits as thicker version, but thinner
    • Basic Stitch Anti Pilling - has a wide variety of colors and doesn't pill
    • Go for Fleece Sherpa - best for advanced beginners and creates a nice texture for furry toys
    • Heartland - beautiful muted colors, soft go-to acrylic
    • Feels Like Butta - extremely soft, great for snuggly stuffed animals

    PRO TIP: Crochet animals also make charming handmade gifts for kids and adults alike. If you plan on making an amigurumi animal for a child, choose a hardy yarn that can be cleaned in a washing machine.

    Common Questions About Crochet Animals

    What animals should I crochet?

    You should crochet an animal that fits your skill level and supplies. Aside from that, pick your favorite animal or something that would bring you joy. If you enjoy an amigurumi project you are going to be more likely to finish it.

    What do I need to start crocheting animals?

    The main things you need to start crocheting animals are a pattern, scissors, yarn, a crochet hook, and beginner crochet skills. Other supplies you might use include safety eyes, a yarn needle, beads, and buttons.

    Is it easier to knit or crochet stuffed animals?

    Most people find it easier to crochet stuffed animals because they are only managing one hook and one active loop. When you knit, you are managing two needles and two active loops. Crochet also tends to be faster than knitting. However, you can make adorable amigurumi animals with both knitting and crochet.

    What's the easiest crochet animal to make?

    There isn't one specific animal that is easiest to crochet. Instead, look for simple patterns and animals without a lot of detail or limbs. Things like fish and chibi-style cats can be a good place to start.

    What are crocheted animals called?

    Cute crochet stuffed animals are often called amigurumi. Although the term amigurumi technically translates to something like "crocheted or knitted stuffed toy." So while most stuffed animals can be called amigurumi, amigurumi can be anything from unicorns to dolls.
