New to the World of Amigurumi?

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting or knitting, creatures or items from everyday life – and turning them into stuffed dolls! The word itself combines “ami” meaning crocheted or knitted, and “nuigurumi” meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi patterns come in all shapes and sizes, from mini keychain designs to huggable plushies. They’re perfect for scrap yarn projects, gifting to friends and family of all ages and so much more!

Giant Jellyfish Free Pattern

This incredible giant jellyfish is sure to be beloved by anyone who touches it! Its oversized head is so charming and the tentacles are super playful and cute.

You can make this with just one ball of Bernat Blanket Yarn!

Jumbo Strawberry Free Pattern

This jumbo strawberry wasn’t originally designed with blanket yarn, but I’ve seen so many iterations of it in the wild with Bernat Blanket and Sweet Snuggles velvet yarn that I think it deserves a mention!

This design would use less than one ball of any blanket yarn you chose, and would result in a truly chonky strawberry!

The sample I made is with Bernat Velvet Worsted, so you can see what the effect would look like with other velvet yarns.
