Okay....here goes a "dumb" question.... when I google Amigurumi I get images of crocheted animals https://www.google.ca/search?q=Amigu...w=1260&bih=859
So what is the difference between crocheted and amigurumi?

Basically, it's crocheting figures on a (very) miniature scale.

Thanks to both of you for your responses.
Google "3mm crochet hook"...I found some on ESTY.
