Crochet Totoros

So… What is Totoro? Basically, it's a Japanese nature spirit. The character itself is the animator Miyazaki's creation, but it is rooted in Japanese culture as a troll and the combination of a few animals. In the movie, My Neighbor Totoro, there are 3 Totoro that Mei meets and explores the forest with, so we're going to make all three today. In this post, I show you how to crochet all three totoros spirits from the movie.

  • Gray: approximately 100-120 g - outer framing, joining, and structural seams
  • Light blue: approximately 70-90 g - flower petals
  • Cream/white: approximately 40-60 g - flower centers and petal outlines
  • Total: approximately 220-270 g

The exact amount will vary according to yarn brand, tension, and finished size.
