Amigurumi crochet...

Sleepy Suzy...An Amigurumi doll I made..
Amigurumi crochet is three dimensional crochet. You can create absolutely amazing stuffed animals or things using the basic crochet stitch which is the Single crochet (double crochet in UK crochet terminology).

It originated in Japan and Amigurumi toys are usually very cute. I had made many when my son was small. He used to love them. They were quite cute and hazard free as it was completely made of yarn and stuffed with fibre fill.
They are extremely costly when you buy them online as handmade toys usually are.

Below are some of my other creations...
