Amigurumi

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word is a portmanteau of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. A variety of yarn is used to make the different amigurumi items. The items will not look exactly the same because each yarn skein varies slightly. So some variation will happen but they will look similar. All crochet items are created with love by Julee Barton. 

Current animals Julee has made: Octopus, sea turtle, butterfly, & clownfish.

Julee started making the crochet octopi when on hospital bed rest while pregnant with their 4th child. James & Julee knew they would have a premature baby. Julee did some research on preemies in the NICU. And it became aware that preemies love the crochet octopus. They are less likely to be pulling at all the wires attached to them because they are holding the octopus tentacles. They believe the tentacles mimic the umbilical cord, therefore comforting the preemie. Toddlers also love the octopi because they are easy to hold onto. So they can be made for anyone who loves an octopus. They can be made with any color your heart desires.

Prices: $10 baby animals, $25 for baby & adult pair, & for the others (sea turtle, butterfly, & octopus) $20 each or $30 for two. They can be mixed and matched. And can have a rattle added if you would like.

If you don't see what you are looking for please contact us. Julee is always trying new patterns & designs.

These make great gifts alone & can be added to blankets too.
