---------------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)

13 - 20: Work 26sc for 8 rounds

21: [24sc, dec 2] x 1 (25st) <- means leave out the last stich

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
Make four more rows of 12st with tch = at the end you’ll have 6 rows of 12st, FO, leave a long
tail to sev the ears to the body.

Glue the felt/fleece to the inside of the ears.

If you like, you can sew a bit of white yarn to one side of the stone to make it look like a light
