Went a little cozy crazy this week. Made the Totoro one for my friend and she
took it to her office. The next thing I
know, I'm making a ton! I started off
with the Cthulhu one because I was familiar with making tentacles. The next day I had an order for a Doraemon
one.
The formula I use is one that I adjusted from Denton's Inventions. I use the Red Heart yarn mostly so I found that my cozies weren't big enough. The pattern is pretty forgiving and I mostly just freestyle the designs on after doing a rough approximation on graph paper.
Currently working through the Avengers. I wanted to do the JLA since I love love love
DC way more than Marvel but sadly, I'm lacking a few colors. I still have to do Hawkeye and Fury. I've been doing comic versions of the cast
but can't decide whether to make Fury comic version or movie version.
Cozy:

All detailing was done with yarn, except for Totoro's eyes which were made with buttons.

For all extremity items like the wings and ears, I wove the
long finished end through the outer edge of the wings/ ears to help them keep
the shape.

1. CH 4, Turn
2. 3 SC, CH 4, Turn
3. 3 SC, 3 HDC, turn
4. 5 SC, CH 4, Turn

Totoro Ears:

2. 1 SC, INC, 1 SC, CH 1, Turn

Any ideas of what I should do next?
