Studio Ghibli - Kiki's Delivery Service amigurumi pattern
Kiki is a small crochet project. You will practice how to crochet different amigurumi shapes as well as how to add felt details to amigurumis and how to make different accessories for your plush toys.
Kiki is a little girl that appears as the main character in Hayaos Miyazaki's movie Kiki's Delivery Service. It features the adventures of Kiki, a little Witch while she is living on her own and using her magic skills to earn her living. We recommend this beautiful story, it is full of beautiful messages of self respect and how enormous our human potential is.
Kiki and her cat Jiji go through town in different adventures learning what it means to be independent. Jiji has a pattern of his own free pattern here.

Black pressed felt

Hair
This is a video tutorial that I made for Mama Santa's Hair. It shows how to needle felt hair into your amigurumi and it is the same technique that I used for Kiki's hair.
With this technique you can make figures and shapes all in felt. I like to use this technique for detailing because of its molding qualities.
Other patterns that use this technique are Amigururmi Squirrel Girl, Mr. Santa Claus and his little helper the X-mas Elf.
