Description
Ok, he is definitely not little, he is as big as my Totoro.
The reason therefore is, I used Totoros body pattern for Mokona too.
The original pattern can be found here [link]
This cutie was made out of thick cotton yarn and a much to small hook so my arm/hand hurts now. To the inside of his ears, hands and feet a piece of fleece was glued. I could have used felt, but this is much more...fluffy
---------------Pattern---------------------
Mokona Pattern, made out of the basic form of the “Blue Totoro Crochet Pattern” from Lucyravenscar ([link] )
I’ve changed the ear pattern and invented new hands and feets. So I try to write my pattern down and use the original pattern as a reference for the correct form. (I’m from germany, we have other systems and abbreviations for writing them down...and even these I can’t read ^^)
Materials:
White yarn, I’ve used “8-yarn” cotton whool
Small amount of black yarn/embroidery thread for the face
Tiny amount of red yarn for the stone
Stuffing
Embroidery needle
3mm hook (a thicker one would have been easier on my hand/arm)
A small amout of pink felt or fleece
Abbreviations:
ch = chain
tch = turning chain
st = stitch or stitches
sc = single crochet (US), double crochet (UK)
hdc = half double crochet (US), half treble (UK)
ss = slip stitch
inc = increase
inc 2 = increase by working 2 sc into one st
dec = decrease
dec 2 = decrease 2 st down to one
FO = finish off
Instructions:
Work in continuous rounds. Most rounds are written in the format:
Round number: [work a number of sc, increase or decrease by one st] x however many times (leaving however many st that round).
Leave long tails of yarn on each part in order to sew to body. Leave an extra long one on one arm to sew upside-down V marks on tummy.
Work the body until the hole is still big enough to fit your hand inside (rnd 48 or so) then fit the eyes.
The ears and hands need no stuffing, but the feet.
Body:
1: 6sc into magic ring
2: 2sc into each st (12st)
3: [1sc, inc 2] x 6 (18st)
4: [2sc, inc 2] x 6 (24st)

12: [11sc, inc 2] x 2 (26st)
13 - 20: Work 26sc for 8 rounds

22 - 29: Work 25sc for 8 rounds
30: [23sc, dec 2] x 1 (24st) <- means leave out the last stich
Now crochet only the half row (12st) = first row of 12st
Add a turning chain and crochet 12st back = second row of 12st

Well done!

I must learn to crochet immediately! Would this pattern be suitable for a beginner?

Yuki87 In reply to SilverStarlightXD [2011-05-18 17:41:14 +0000 UTC]
I would say yes. I've stared crocheting with a japanese diagram and pattern I couldn't read And it came out wonderful!
These pattern here are very simple.
You will need to know:
- Who to da a magic ring (youtube)
- single crochets
- increase (two single crochets into one stich)
- decrease (leave out one stich)
- double crochet (google)
I think thats all. Nothing fancy. ^-^

^-^
I think about taking comissions on Mokona too, but on the acrylic version. Cotton is too expensive since they had raised the prices for it, and it's pretty hard on my hands ^^

I prefer knitting actually XD I can't crochet well.. Pull the yarn too tight all the time xP

Yuki87 In reply to FoxLightstep [2011-04-16 11:33:11 +0000 UTC]
I've prefered knitting too, until I saw an amigurumi and crochetetd a seal.
If you want to give it a try, try acrylic yarn, it's easier to handle if you tend to pull the yarn too tight.
