Once you’re comfortable with crochet techniques, you may move to lighter weight or thinner yarns. At Craft Passion, we use DK/ 8-Ply / Light worsted weight acrylic yarn for our crochet animals. We love how it creates a soft texture on our crochet stuffed animals, making them highly huggable! Wire: Sometimes you will see an amigurumi pattern that requires wire to shape ears, tails and other parts of the animal. Single Crochet:A beginner-friendly basic stitch that is most commonly used in Amigurumi patterns, as well as other types of amigurumi designs. Learn how to single crochet. Everyone seems to love these cute crochet animals. Amigurumi projects make perfect gifts, especially for babies and kids. Can beginners do amigurumi?

Crochet Hook: Most animal patterns will use a smaller sized crochet hook than the yarn they are using calls for. This is because it will create a tighter single crochet stitch in the pattern, which in turn makes a cleaner looking end product. Stuffing: Most amigurumi animal toys will have stuffing or fiber fill, so this is an important material to have on hand. Polyfill is my personal favorite. Safety Eyes: Most of the crocheted animal toys you will find to make use safety eyes. These are usually plastic snap together pieces that form an eye in amigurumi. If you prefer not to use safety eyes, you can surface crochet eyes onto almost any animal instead with yarn or embroidery thread. Additionally, you’ll need to prepare a tapestry or darning needle to sew/weave in the yarn to complete your Amigurumi project. Lastly, you will need a pair of scissors to cut the yarn. Basic Crochet Stitches And Crochet Terms For AmigurumiYou’ll also need to know how to sc increase and sc decrease. You’ll use increases and decreases to create curves and volume in your amigurumi patterns. Crocheting in spiral rounds Semi-cotton blend yarns consist of 50% acrylic yarn and 50% cotton yarn. It’s usually lightweight, which makes it suitable for medium-sized crochet animals. Projects made with semi-cotton blend yarns are soft yet durable and are machine-washable! Be sure to choose non-pilling grade yarn for the best quality.

Magic Loop:The magic loopis a crochet technique that creates a closed, tight bottom of a circle. It can be used for hats, place mats, circles and these cute animals too! Learn more about the Magic loop (or circle) to use this method. So, if you are looking for tiny crochet animal patterns, you've found the right spot! I hope you have so much fun browsing (and hopefully making!) the patterns in this collection. Brand new to crochet? Make sure to read through our beginner How to Crochet guide to get all the details before jumping in. Stitches and Techniques You’ll Need to Know Learning how to crochet animal takes practice and patience; remember not to rush the lessons. If you’re following a video tutorial, watch the entire video before beginning the project. Otherwise, read through the description or full instructions first. Missing a step in the pattern can be an absolute pain, especially if you need to undo the stitches. It’s best to begin your first amigurumi crochet animals project with a free pattern, and make sure to choose beginner patterns that use simple stitches. This way, you can practice the technique and familiarize yourself with the skills required for more advanced projects. Most amigurumi patterns suggest using cotton yarn in either a DK or worsted weight. Cotton yarn is easy for beginners to use, and gives your projects great stitch definition, too!You might’ve noticed the adorable crochet plush amigurumi from our crochet stuffed animals collection, they are made with the same tools as normal crochet. Only, you will primarily be working in spiral rounds with single crochet stitches in a tighter tension, making 3D-shaped parts, and stuffing these parts with polyester filling. Last on the list, this project is excellent for those who are just beginning with amigurumi. There’s no sewing in this project other than your squid’s eyes. Perfect! Changing Yarn Colors: You can learn more changing colors in crochet with our free tutorial. This is helpful for a smooth transition from one color to the next in these toys. Begin the first stitch with either a magic ring or crochet around a foundation chain (the first round of the body pattern of animal amigurumi). Most Amigurumi patterns begin with a magic ring; however, some designs call for an oval-shaped bottom that requires you to crochet around the foundation chains. We use this technique for most of our adorable animal crochet patterns in the animal wildlife collection. Watch this video on how to crochet this technique. Pins: Pins make it easy to attach extra pieces (nose, yarn eyes, etc.) of the crocheted toy, so when they are sewn on they are in the correct spot.
