An Army of Amigurumis

This spring, I crocheted a ton of amigurumis (amigurumi is the Japanese word for the art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures) for a lot of the awesome little kids I know. It took me a while, but I created an army!

This isn't even all of them-- I crocheted a few more piggies and a bat after I took this group picture.

Sonia loved the "army-gurumi"!

I found almost all of these crochet patterns on the internet-- FOR FREE.  The internet rules.  Sometimes.

I've linked where I found each of these patterns.  Most of these were made with worsted-weight yarn and either an F or a G hook.  I love using the shiny black plastic safety eyes-- they make amigurumis look so much more alive!
