I've been wanting to try my hand at Amigurumi for a while and I've found a couple of free patterns online that I thought would be easy enough for a beginner like myself to try out.
In case you don't know what Amigurumi is (I hadn't heard of it until a few years ago) here is what Wikipedia has to say about it:
Amigurumi (編みぐるみ, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.[1] Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features,[2] as is typical in Japanese culture.
I decided to start with this super cute turtle pattern.
