Amigurumi Knitting Kits: Cute, Cuddly, and the Perfect Knitted Gift
At The Dizzy Knitter, we’re always looking for projects that are as joyful to make as they are to share. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce Hardicraft Amigurumi Knitting Kits! These little amigurumi animals are soft, sweet, and full of personality.
What is Amigurumi Knitting?
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of creating small stuffed animals with yarn. Traditionally, amigurumi is done with crochet — but knitters can now join the fun too! Hardicraft’s thoughtfully designed knitting kits make it possible to bring whimsical little friends to life, each one full of charm, character, and cuddle potential.
Why Choose an Amigurumi Knitting Kit?
Knitting kits make projects approachable, especially for anyone looking for a fun, manageable project. Each kit comes with all the essentials neatly packed in one bag - you’ll need to have your own knitting needles.
Big projects like sweaters can feel daunting, but a little giraffe or kitty? That feels totally doable. These amigurumi patterns use simple stitches and friendly instructions to guide you along the way. Most animals can be finished in just a few evenings, giving you the satisfaction of a completed project without a huge time commitment.
What’s Inside the Amigurumi Knitting Kit?
Every Hardicraft Amigurumi Knitting Kit includes all the essentials you need to create your own cuddly amigurumi animal:
- Soft, washable cotton blend yarn in the colors shown
- Safety stuffing for a cozy, huggable finish
- Clear, step-by-step printed pattern
- Safety eyes and any other accessories your animal needs
Knitting needles are not included. Just add your own US 2.5 (3 mm) knitting needles to complete this project.
