So, what do we have here that’s so adorable today? Oh yes, it’s Chibi Totoro! I can’t pass by this enchanting pattern from one of our most beloved anime. By the way, if you’re searching for more anime patterns, you should definitely check out our category. But let’s get back to Chibi.
You can start crocheting our little Totoro companion right now. All you’ll need is a little bit of yarn and the most basic of stitches. The toy will end up being just 5 cm tall, but oh, how cute it will be. Quickly crochet the body, ears, which we’ll attach on top, a tail (optional), and eyes. And there you go, your lovely chibi is ready, waiting for its place or a new owner!
