Darumafuteru and Hanpen Daruma




Happy (late) new years guys :D Haven't posted anything for a while because university was being harsh on me, but here is some new pattern since I'm on my holiday right now. So, I saw these cute Daruma plushies as a new merchandise for SoraMafuUraSaka's latest countdown live and I fell in love with them in the first sight. But since I'm a broke college student, I have no money to buy them orz. So, I decided to make them myself! Here are the pattern for the Mafuteru and Hanpen one because I don't have the yarn for Yamadanuki and Sakata's dog and their design are pretty hard to make.
Now, let's jump straight to the pattern!

To crochet this pattern, you are going to need:
  •  Yarn of these colors : red and white
  • Crochet hook
  • Pink, black, and yellow felt
  • Black embroidery yarn
  • Stuffing
  • Glue
  • Scissors, sewing needle, safety pin, and other necessary tools.

Abbreviations:
