A new trend in crochet, amigurumi is a Japanese word that describes small knitted or crocheted stuffed toys using bright colours.

Lee started crocheting after her daughter was born and has never stopped. Her inspiration to create her own designs came from her own son born 4 years after her daughter. She wanted to make him special hats, she could not find any cute crochet patterns for boys very easily, so he made her own.
