If it’s no more fun to crochet an amigurumi, just as a mimic of an animal or else, you need to look at the quirky amigurumi. These amigurumi combine with some really fun and wacky themes to become irresistible gifts that bring laughter.
Also, with a chubby body, stuffed woobly eyes, or distorted bodies, you make the animal itself oh-so funny.
So, check below some of my recommendations for crocheting quirky amigurumi, including animals, flowers, and vegetables. These are all miniature, cute, and some of them are lightly quirked, too.
Crochet A Duck Amigurumi
Let’s crochet a cute and funny baby duck amigurumi that is growing a little vegetable sprout on its head. The sprout is just a pair of vegetable leaves attached to a yarn-wrapped craft wire. This way, you can also easily insert and secure it as a hat on the chick’s head and pose it.
The construction of this round chick amigurumi is not difficult at all, and no sewing is involved, due to the hot glue gun assembly. The wider-than-life feet make it even more humorous and easy to balance.
Wanna crochet it as a last-minute gift? It’s easy, and you only need a 2.5 mm crochet hook and three colors of yarn.
Crochet A Dog Amigurumi
This is a miniature doll of a Shiba Inu dog that is made cute and quirky with a 3D flower mane. The mane is crocheted separately as a row of joined, pink, unstuffed petals, and it is also removable.
So, if you are looking only for a cute dog doll, you are good to follow the pattern. There is a belly round attached just like the muzzle’s oval, but for the mouth, you will also have to work on the tapestry.
Because the Shiba Inu dog looks like a fox, the designer has chosen orange for the body. However, you can definitely keep it authentic by crocheting in Saseme, black, and tan or red Saseme.

Crochet A Chick Amigurumi
This Fatty Chicken amigurumi with Stuffed Wobbly Eyes is simply wacky and cute. This is a palm-sized amigurumi, but with that much stuffing and chubbiness, it will make an irresistible stress support toy, pincushion, and desk buddy.
My favorite part is the twisted comb and the chain stitch feet. With a shape like an egg, you can also crochet it as a baby shower or Mother’s Day present.
You can have a big snuggler if you use chenille yarn, and in fact, I recommend crocheting it with bulkier yarn. For an amigurumi chicken, you will need DK cotton yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook.
Crochet A Radish Amigurumi
Let’s crochet a kawaii baby radish amigurumi with this low-sew and easy pattern. This is designed as a Vegetable Buddy Amigurumi. So, you will want to crochet a white Chibi doll with radish leaves as hair.
My favorite part is the eyebrow embroidery and yellow vein embroidery sewn on the leaves.
The body of the doll requires a “Joined Leg” start, which makes it no-sew. You can also customize it for a carrot just by changing the colors.
Crochet A Tiger Amigurumi
This crochet tiger head amigurumi will make an irresistibly cute bag charm for little ones. Because it’s not overly small, you can easily add the details like the muzzle and facial lines separately.
You can also use the no-sew head of this tiger keychain as a general animal head base, as it is perfectly shaped. There are add-ons like single crochet ears, puff stitch muzzle, and safety beads.
Wanna crochet one for you? You can finish it in less than 45 minutes, even with that bigger size. So, grab orange, brown, and white yarn.
Mini Animal Keychain? Here are more ideas:
Crochet A Turtle Amigurumi
To celebrate spring, crochet this miniature tomato turtle amigurumi that can be turned into a strawberry turtle by adding seed embroidery. This is one of my favorite variations of “Themed Shell Turtle.”
Another unique aspect is how the fins are crocheted as legs, and the head is attached such that the turtle is looking up.
So, it can easily stand on your table and charm up your day. The base construction is not difficult, and the only add-on is the tomato leaf.
