Animals

Use this animal hub to pick patterns by shape. Amigurumi animals become easier when you recognize repeated building blocks: balls for heads, ovals for bodies, small cones or triangles for ears, and careful embroidery for expression.

Bears and woodland toys

Start with the Small Bear Amigurumi Pattern, then browse Woodland Animals.

Cats and dogs

Practice pointed ears, tails and whiskers with the Beginner Cat Amigurumi Pattern and the Cats & Dogs archive.

Rabbits and farm friends

The Simple Bunny introduces longer ears and soft shaping. More projects are collected under Farm Animals.

Sea creatures

Rounded ocean toys are excellent for practicing circles and shaping. Visit Sea Creatures or start with the Tiny Octopus.
