Bonjour,
I don’t like increasing, working in a spiral, counting, using stitch markers, stuffing, embroidering, using a small hook and worsted weight yarn, or sewing crochet together. So how did I end up with so many amigurumis?
This is a small sampling of some of the amigurumi I have crocheted, featuring mostly dolls.
The Cogaroo’s crocheted version of herself (although I don’t actually look like her!) You might recognize her from a certain blog’s header.

Then, some smaller dolls from Ana Paula Rimoli’s book ‘Amigurumi Two’.
This is Merida, from the Disney/Pixar movie ‘Brave’. I like making dolls based off of books or movies.
And this is Katniss, from the book ‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins. (She’s posing with the Katniss Collector Barbie’s weapons. {Yes, I’m obsessed with that book.})
A smaller doll, but with super long hair, from the Teacup Spirit doll pattern at http://byhookbyhand.blogspot.com/
(You’ll have to scroll down, the pattern is in the left sidebar.)
I was planning to make this post with only pictures of dolls, but another amigurumi was looking left out, so I decided to add a picture of her:
The Love Bug! Made from a pattern on Ravelry:

I made the body entirely in one piece, and did 8 circles.
Instead of stuffing, I use yarn scraps to stuff amigurumi. You know, the little ones that are way too tiny to crochet anything with. I use every single bit of a skein of yarn!
Well, good job if you made it through this monologuing! I hope that you have a good day. 😀
