One of my favorite projects to crochet for kids are amigurumis toys. Boys and girls absolutely love them, and it’s a such a sentimental gift to make.
Crocheting toys for kids is such a joyful way to let your creativity meet their imagination. There’s something special about making toys, like amigurumis, that’s meant to be loved, carried around, and part of a child’s everyday play. In this roundup, you’ll find free patterns for all kinds of crocheted toys, from simple amigurumi for beginners to more detailed projects for when you’re ready for a bit of a challenge.
I love how projects like these remind us that handmade gifts don’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. A small, stitched companion made with care can become something truly treasured.
If you’re a beginner, it is so helpful to learn how to make the magic circle and crochet in rounds. Once you get the hang of this, you’ll feel confident to crochet any amigurumi project!
In this round-up, I’ll be showing you many creative toy patterns to crochet for boys and girls. These projects are free patterns that you’ll be able to crochet right away.
