Our kawaii keychains have grown !!!
Free Amigurumi Crochet Pattern
Little Kawaii
< Bear – Cat – Bunny – Dog – Mouse – Pig >
Last year we made some small kawaii keychains because we wanted to have a simple and practical amigurumi option to carry it with one always. Time has passed and our little kawaii have grown. Fortunately, in Spring of this year Kuma arrived and, with her, we have enjoyed the family of Kuma bears, made up of our adorable mother bear and her 3 little suns.
We are already in Autumn and the rest of the group has decided to visit us; Neko, Buta and Nezumi have become beautiful with time and have brought two new friends to complete this beautiful circle of friendship.
Inu and Usagui are the new members of this precious group ♥ ♥
You will wonder why we chose their names … Well, their names are the meaning in Japanese of the animal that corresponds to each of them … It is our humble tribute to those who have created the wonderful art of the amigurumis.
Their meanings are these:
Kuma < Bear > 熊
Neko < Cat > 猫
Inu < Dog > 犬
Buta < Pig > 豚
Usagui < Rabbit > ウサギ
Nezumi < Mouse > ネズミ
¡Welcome Little Kawaii!

NOTE: The pattern will consist of a base to making < HEAD – BODY – ARMS – LEGS > equally for the 6 amigurumis, the only thing that will vary will be the colors to be used. It will also be equally the scarf for the 6 and the flower for the 4 that carry one. Then, we will mark the different parts as TAILS, EARS and FELT parts of their faces with each one of them.
