Why Crochet and Amigurumi?

Crochet is more than just a hobby. It’s a form of art, a way to relax, and a method to create meaningful gifts for friends and family. Amigurumi, the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed toys, has become a global trend because it combines creativity with practicality. Handmade amigurumi items make perfect gifts for any occasion – birthdays, baby showers, or just to bring a smile to someone’s face.

At AmyLiva Handmade, we believe that everyone can create something beautiful with yarn, a hook, and a little guidance. Our tutorials are simple, detailed, and beginner-friendly. If you are new to crochet, check out this guide to single crochet stitches for a helpful start.
