The word "amigurumi" is formed by two words, "amu (編む)," which means "to knit," and "nuigurumi (ぬいぐるみ)," which means "stuffed animal."
The art of amigurumi has quickly spread to the US, and many people have created cute little versions of their favourite characters from movies, games, shows, etc! One seller on Etsy, Amigurumi4u, caught my eyes with her adorable series of female Disney characters.
All of her dolls are custom and handmade with original patterns. I absolutely love the little Merida with her tiny bow, arrows, and quiver! She's also made some adorable Pokemon, ninja turtles, and more! She said each one takes her up to a week to make! That's some incredible patience! You should check out her shop. :]
Kawii!
