Curious About Amigurumi Crochet Craze?

Amigurumi is one of those strange words no one can pronounce but an easy word to become addicted too.- Why? well its because amigurumi is a form of crochet (not just for old people!)

Knitting and crochet have been around for centuries, and the types of things you can make from it is not just limited to scarves and oversized sweaters.

Is your familiar with a playstation 3, then you may be familiar with the game "Little Big Planet"? And the Sackboy dude who is the main character from this popular PS3 game. Well he is a knitted/crochet guy, and if you see him being sold in plush form in a store you can expect the price to be just a large as his fame!

Now there are many free patterns online INCLUDING free amigurumi patterns for Sackboy. One of which is here. This blog is designed to showcase amigurumi creations, and this lady does them well! Moon Creation's was kind enough to put out a free pattern for everyone to make their own Sackboy. Now i know hes tiny but if you are crafty enough to make your own Sackboy pattern and sell it on ebay or Etsy, you can expect to earn around $20.00 a day if you priced the pattern at around $3.00.

However if you were to create your amigurumi creations and sell them on ebay you could expect to tripple that per day! Especially if you were making famous video game characters like Sack boy and the Mario Bros characters.

These make perfect gifts for young children, and hand made gifts are always more valuable-so pick up your crochet hook and yarn and jump into the wonderful word of crochet amigurumi!
