Autumn Amigurumi

Adorable Creations from Cute Designs UK Usher in Fall Weather

— October 25, 2009 — Art & Design
This adorable selection of autumn amigurumi is from Etsy artisan Cute Designs UK. Amigurumi are tiny knitted and stuffed creations that are meant more as collectibles than toys for children. While they're most popular in Asia, amigurumi has spread around the world with the rise of crafting and cottage industries.

Check out the gallery above to see a full range of autumn amigurumi from Cute Designs UK. You'll see tiny acorns, wee wise owls and even a knitted cup of tea to keep you company on chilly nights!
