Amigurumi is usually done using crocheting techniques, but people can also try knitting. For those who find it difficult to knit, crocheting is a simpler technique that uses wide squares, which are relatively easier to make. Amigurumi is not difficult at all once you get the hang of crocheting correctly.
It is recommended for beginners to start by crocheting because it is denser, giving you a thick frame for your toys, which will ultimately be easier to shape in order to look like your intended creature. If you don’t give up on the first couple of failed attempts and keep practicing, you will be able to knit perfect little yarn dolls in no time at all. The trick is to start with small rings made of stitched yarn, and as long as you follow a simple pattern, you’re good to go.
