However, amigurumi recipes have a complexity that can only be understood by those who are already familiar with knitting and crochet. Amigurumi recipes not only use technical jargon, but also work with guidelines based on concepts well established by the practice of knitting. This can be seen in the simplest recipes, which usually work with photos and a real step by step.
What are the best amigurumi patterns for beginners?
As we have already said, amigurumi is a difficult technique to be replicated by those who are not used to all the properties of crochet and knitting. Even so, it is possible to find amigurumi models for beginners, which draw attention due to the lower level of complexity, with recipes that are easier to follow and, of course, understood by those who are just starting out.

That said, we can use as an example of a good amigurumi model for beginners those who are smaller and have simple shapes. Dolls, for example, are very complex, requiring a lot of knowledge to be able to make the arms and legs. Amigurumi keyrings and even cacti, in turn, are simpler and do not take long to be made.
Amigurumi Doll
Speaking of amigurumi doll, we can’t help but reserve a topic for her. In addition to being very popular, a good model of amigurumi doll is perfect for your decoration, especially for girl’s rooms. You can still make use of the amigurumi doll as a toy for your children, considering that because they are knitted it can be used even by babies.
