Features of knitted toys in the style of amigurumi and tilde

It may seem to beginner needlewomen that amigurumi and tilde are just two designations for a crocheted fox, but in fact, these are fundamentally different styles of needlework. Amigurumi is a Japanese style of crocheting. Its main differences are an enlarged head, rounded shapes, a cute muzzle, and always eyes and a nose even on inanimate objects. The tilde doll is an interior decoration invented in Norway about 30 years ago. Tildas have an elongated body and limbs, beady eyes, and a restrained, Scandinavian color scheme. Since the tilde is a home decoration, sometimes sachets with aromatic herbs are sewn into their body.
