Amigurumi (pronounced “ah-me-goo-roomie”) is the Japanese art of using crochet to create cute stuffed critters of all kinds.

Students will start with a very simple project to learn the basic principles of the art form, and then transition to a more involved piece for the rest of the class, both of which you can take home to display proudly or gift to someone you love. Even if you can only crochet the most basic stitch, you are ready to learn this lovable and rewarding craft.
