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.

Notes
1.Before beginning, separate thedifferent color sections of the yarn asfollows: Pop the center color out bypushing gently on the center of theball so that it comes out intact. Findthe point where the color changesand cut the yarn. Repeat this processfor the remaining yarn colors bycarefully pushing the rings of colorout of the larger ring and cutting.Wind each color into a separate ballto prevent tangling. You may find thatone color appears both in the center,and on the outside of the ball, windtogether or separately.
