Amiguruumi

I did a Google for "amigurumi pattern" and got over 11,000 hits. A quick glance showed that several sites had free patterns for downloading.

Bruce, i did do extensive google searches, but people differ on what they think it is. I spent hours browsing the sites, and got patterns for teddy bears, and many many larger toys. the FEW actual patterns I found were not very appealing, hence my request here.

I'll google again, using different keywords, and see if something else comes up.

I've just remembered why it was more difficult - I specifically am looking for knitted ones. I don't crochet... so, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Catherine

I must confess that I Googled for amigurumi because I hadn't a clue what it was!

Have you checked the Lion Brand Yarn website? They have quite a few amiguruumi patterns -- while they don't tend to be tiny -- I suspect that if you knitted them with fine (or very fine or even DMC) yarn on teeny knitting needles they might be small enough.

"amigurumi" for your search termBlossom

Yes, thanks, I did look at that site. the only thing that caught my attention was the dog, which was cute, but I don't know how big they turn out.

Cute, aren't they? I can't remember where i first heard about them, but it was ONE of my newsgroups.

I've uploaded a picture to my website, of the picture that inspired me to actually make one. This picture was sent to me by a friend - it was not on a knitting site, and all she did was send the picture, and doesn't know where she got it from - somewhere on the 'net. If anyone knows anything about it I can maybe find out who made it and where to get the pattern:

stress I am not trying to pirate someone's picture, or hijack anything, just want more info and then i'll remove the picture. Catherine
