Cute Amigurumi Ideas
Sometimes all of us need a little cheerfulness in our life, to beat the blues. It’s good to have something that instantly lifts our mood, something which brings happy memories and good energy. I am sure that by making handmade gifts, we encapsulate our love in them, passing it on to the receiver.
Think about someone in your life who would need an amulet of sorts, which will keep him or her on the bright side! The cutest way to make it is with amigurumi. Choose an animal or a character that looks adorable and symbolizes qualities you want to evoke – for example, wise and long-living turtle. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
