Most amigurumi patterns use basic stitches like single crochet and working in the round. If you can crochet a circle and follow stitch counts, you are ready to try amigurumi. The video tutorials in this list are especially helpful for beginners.
Most amigurumi patterns call for worsted weight (medium/4) yarn and a 3.5mm or 4mm hook. Using a smaller hook than recommended for the yarn creates a tighter fabric that holds stuffing inside without showing through.
Polyester fiberfill is the most popular choice. It is lightweight, washable, and holds its shape well. Stuff pieces firmly but not so tightly that the stitches stretch and gaps appear.
Smaller animals can be completed in a few hours, while more detailed designs may take a weekend. The patterns in this list range from quick projects to more involved makes, so there is something for every schedule.
