This tutorial will guide you through creating your very own Totoro-inspired cardigan, inspired by the beloved character from My Neighbor Totoro. Not only is it a fun and relaxing project, but you’ll also end up with a cozy, one-of-a-kind garment that’s sure to make all your friends envious.
To get started, gather your materials: a crochet hook, yarn in your chosen colors, and a tapestry needle. You’ll also need a basic understanding of crochet stitches, such as single and double crochets.
Start by creating a foundation chain, which will act as the base for your cardigan. The chain’s length will depend on the cardigan size you’re aiming for. Once the chain is complete, work single crochet stitches into each chain stitch to form the body of the cardigan.
Next, add the Totoro hood. Attach your chosen yarn color and begin crocheting in rounds using double crochet stitches. Continue until the hood reaches your desired size, then attach it to the body of the cardigan.
For the sleeves, use single crochet stitches, working them in rounds or rows depending on your preference. Once the sleeves are complete, weave in all the loose ends.
And there you have it—a cozy and unique Totoro cardigan, handmade by you! You’ll not only stay warm but also enjoy the pride of crafting it yourself.
