Hooks

My favorite brand of hooks hands down is the Clover Soft Touch (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, LoveKnitting.com). I naturally do a lot of crochet and these hooks are the most comfortable ones I've every used. I own them in every size available.
Wool/Tapestry Needles

For the chunkier yarns you'll need needles with really big eyes. The one I use for all my work are especially made for chunky yarn but work for DK/worsted yarn just as well. They are called Wool Needles (Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, LoveKnitting.com).
I use these needles to attach the amigurumi parts together.
