What does amigurumi means?
The word Amigurumi comes from Japanese. The Japanese call handicrafts knitted with crochet and needle as Ami. The Japanese call the toys that are filled with objects such as fibers or cotton as Nuigurumi. The word Amigurumi is derived as a combination of these two words.

We knit the 4th leg (row 1-7), like the others, BUT WE DO NOT CUT THE THREAD !!!
8 row) Connect the leg you just tied to the other leg with
sbn. Now we knit 14 sc around the 2nd leg and then attach the 3rd leg.
We knit 14 sb around the 3rd leg, then we attach the 4th (last) leg with
using sbn. We knit 14 sb around the 4th leg and connect it with the 1st.
We knit 14
sbn around the 1st leg. (in the end, you should get 56 sbn). ATTENTION! A thread
cut, but do not close the work. We will come back here. We will now
work on the hole between the 4 legs.
1) we have 4 loops on each leg. Attach a thread to one of them,
preferably at the end. We knit 4 sc on this leg. Let’s go to the next leg and
