How to choose an amigurumi animal pattern
Start with the animal you like, then check the skill level and the materials list. A small round animal with few parts, such as a bunny or a frog, is a good first make. Animals with outfits, ears and tails take more sewing, so they suit crocheters who are comfortable with the basics. If you are new, browse the crochet patterns for beginners or try a free crochet pattern first.
Sizes, yarn and extras
Finished size depends on the pattern, the yarn and the hook. The patterns here range from tiny charms of about 1.5 inches to plush toys of more than 10 inches, and a listing gives the size when its pattern states one. See amigurumi sizes and how much yarn an amigurumi needs before you buy yarn. Many animals also use safety eyes or embroidered eyes: read about safety eyes and face placement.
