What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.
Amigurumi knitting techniques are very easy. You can find many handcrafts prepared with these techniques on my site. What is Amigurumi for beginners in Amigurumi handwork? How to knit amigurumi?

Instructions
Our amigurumi are mostly done in continuous rounds starting with a Magic Ring. You don’t need to end with a slip stitch. Do use a stitch marker to mark the last stitch of every round at all times.
You may wish to download the Counter+ app to help you with your counting.
Please crochet the stitches tightly to prevent the poly-fiber stuffing from showing. However, do not crochet too tightly, otherwise it’ll be difficult to continue.
Be sure to push the washer down only the first screw of the safety eye, so as to prevent bulging.
If you’re using a smaller washer, you have to push down twice.
Always stuff your amigurumi firmly till the point that it feels bouncy.
Always leave a long tail for sewing.
When felting, ensure that the needle is perpendicular to object.
