Hi hi!<\/p>\n

These days, I decided to finish a project that I’ve started in september of 2012, but I’ve never finished, because I had no patience to it\u00a0>.<” The project is related to the manga Fruits Basket, do you know? It has also an animated version with the same title:<\/p>\n

\"FruitsBasket\"<\/a>

It is one of the best mangas I’ve ever read and I love it with all my heart! :3 The story is about an orphan girl, Tohru Honda, who accidentally discovered that the Sohma family has a curse. Their members are possessed by the animals of the Chinise Zodiac and when they are weak, stressed, or when they are embraced by anyone of the opposite sex (that is not possessed by a zodiacal spirit) they turn into their animal forms. From this moment on, she will get involved with the members of this family and she will try to help them to break the curse. You should give it a try, I’m sure you will love it! :)<\/p>\n

So, as I am a big fan of the story, I thought it would be great to make some amigurumis based on the characters and that’s why I created these amigurumis! They are all based on the animal forms of each character and I also did Tohru, which is represented by an Onigiri :)<\/p>\n

When I started this project I decided to use the common worsted yarn, the same I’ve used on my other patterns, as Charizard, Snorlax and Gengar. All the animals and Tohru are made with cheap worsted yarn and the pattern is designed to this yarn, so I don’t know how it will turn out if you use a thinner yarn.<\/p>\n

They measure about 8cm each (3 inches).<\/p>\n

That’s it. Hope you like them ^_^<\/p>\n

– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds. So, I will warn you in the pattern, when you have to work joining rounds;

\n– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;
\n– To make the eyes and mouth you will use felt and fabric paint;
\n– To make any furr you will use some yarn and a hairbrush.<\/p>\n
