Short story of Amigurumi

Amigurumi, This word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.
This amigurumi usually done in single crochet(Sc) in the round. Amigurumi are made up of parts that are crocheted, stuffed, and sewn together. As you can see from the picture, all these are crocheted by me. I have spent quite some times in preparing all these.

Found a very good blog for new learner to learn how to read the symbols of crochet:
