As technology grows and grows, no one thought knitting and crocheting would take the world by storm in 2014. This new craze is called amigurumi, and is the Japanese art of crocheting and knitting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Amigurumi began to attract its fan base in 2003, yet already in 2006 it was reported to be the most popular item on Etsy; an online craft marketplace. Since then, its popularity has flourished, and they are very popular not only in Finland but all around the world.
