Materials
Worsted weight yarn in colors specified in each pattern, or colors of choice. Pieces shown in photo were made with Red Heart Super Saver, and I have also made them with Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn, as well as Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice. Acrylic yarn works really well for amigurumi, but natural fibers or blends may be used also. The most important thing is to use a small enough hook so that stitches are firm and stuffing does not show, and especially if you use cotton yarn this is important because cotton doesn’t have the spring to it that acrylic has. I have also made these with dk weight yarn and one or two sizes smaller hook. The figures are smaller, and so sweet and adorable!
