Knitting Amigurumi

Most Amigurumi projects are crocheted, but this book shows how to knit a variety of objects from vegetables to sea creatures and more. The knitting methods used in this book are interesting and there are a lot of techniques to learn.

Finally the knitting of the first project in this book the aubergine is completed, here's a picture of it:

I knitted the entire aubergine with double pointed needles instead of circular needles.

After completing the aubergine I jumped to the second project with knitting the tomato:

I found it easier to knit the tomato with circular needles, with a longer chord length than the one mentioned in the book.

This book's errata is small and is available on Ravelry website:

- Don't knit too tight, this will make it easier to slide the stitches back to the needles after each 1/2 round is completed.

Circular needles set that are most suitable for knitting in the round using the magic loop technique are the addi Click Turbo set . The interchangeable chords are flexible, which is suitable to knit using the magic loop technique.
