Amigurumi doll is a non-toxic, reusable toy that can be played with and washed many times. Cotton yarns are used in the construction of amigurumi dolls. The accessories are all incorporated into the amigurumi doll’s body, so no additional supplies are required.
Amigurumi is a sustainable toy, which has some advantages over other toys:
1) It is washable and reusable, thus it protects the environment from pollution caused by plastic toys.
2) A child does not lose any parts of the toy, which sometimes happens with other types of toys.
3) It is easily transported and stored in a pocket or bag, thus children can play with it everywhere and anytime they want.
4) Amigurumi dolls use eco-friendly materials such as cotton yarns.
5) Amigurumi dolls can be used as decorations when not in use, which makes children feel good whenever they look at their creations.
Every time we clean products made of plastic we release some chemicals into the environment that cause pollution and other environmental problems. In contrast, amigurumi dolls are reusable products, which can reduce landfill waste.
Create your own amigurumi toy with help of this pattern.
This Amigurumi Doll is made by Anu Rachel using the mentioned pattern.
