The strict definition for amigurumi is a crocheted or knitted stuffed toy or doll. This includes a wide variety of animals, dolls, and imaginative monster creations. But amigurumi are more than simple dolls or toys.

Frequently count your stitches. Sometimes I count them when I&#39;m half way through a round to make sure I haven&#39;t skipped any which would mean I don&#39;t have enough to finish the round. If I come up short, I can rip out my work back to the stitch marker and start the round again.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.crochetme.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=137435" width="1" height="1">
