Natsume Yuujinchou is one of my favorite anime with heart warming story. I crocheted Nyanko Sensei 2 years ago. Since that time there are several people keep asking about the pattern. And finally the pattern was published!! Moreover I add key chain version as a free gift include in the listing.
This pattern is really HUGE pattern bigger than my Pikachu pattern, since I use smaller hook and yarn but the finished sized is similar.
Finished size from head to tail
- 50 cm. with 2.25 mm crochet hook or Japanese size 3/0.
-Should be about 2 meters with 5.0 mm. hook.
The key chain version size is about 3 inches from head to tail.
For the Big version, as I said above, I crochet it 2 years ago, which I still did not has a good camera. So as you can see from below, the image quality is quite poor compared to the key chain version.
If you are concerned by the quality of image, do not worry, since you can use the higher quality image on key chain pattern as an alternative guide.
So big and cuddle, if you are interest this pattern is available in three shop
I know the game called "DOTA", but I never once try to play this game. Not because of it's a bad game or anythings, I just afraid that I will be addicted, lol. I am a type of person that easily addicted to games so I always avoid playing game that need to take time for playing. When my brother hand me a sketch of some little chick(in my point of view) and request for a key chain of this character, so I decide to made it and why not sharing it.

Embroidery mouth in to the shape that you want.
To be honest I don't like his finished face, I prefer pikachu with mouth close. But my brother, he said he want pikachu to smile mouth open wide. So I end up made what he requested.
Additionally, if you love Pikachu I have a paid pattern available on my pattern store, both craftsy and etsy. For anyone who want a huge pikachu to cuddle. :)
It was the hottest week in Thailand when I was crochet this hat. The temperature was exceed 40 degree Celsius all the week, and I crochet a winter hat. lol
I am going to take a Master course at Edinburgh starting next September, and I have no idea how cold it would be. Here in Thailand, winter, I experience 18-25 degree Celsius but after I surf around Internet, I found summer in Scotland is about 20 degree Celsius! I start to worry about winter season, so I decide to crochet some hat for myself.
I found free pattern here from Crochet Crowd, and he work on the tutorial really well, so I decided to not record any tutorial while I was crochet it.
I used 8.0 mm. crochet hook, with my regular yarn( Eagle brand, 4 ply worsted weight) 5 strands at the same time. I am very pleasure with the result of hat's body. But I later realize that if I use one big strand yarn to make the pom pom, I will turn rounder and look better.
