Crochet terms used

The instructions in Sanrio-Inspired Crochet Patterns: Kuromi, My Melody, Cinnamoroll & Gudetama use US terms: ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), hdc (half double crochet), dc (double crochet), inc (two stitches in one), and dec (decrease). Counts in parentheses show the stitches expected after that row or round.

Shared mini body

Use US terms and continuous rounds. Round 1: 6 sc in a magic ring. (6) Round 2: Inc around. (12) Round 3: Repeat (sc, inc) 6 times. (18) Rounds 4-8: Sc around. (18) Round 9: Repeat (sc, dec) 6 times. (12) Embroider the face, stuff, then Round 10: dec 6 times and close. (6) For each arm, make 6 sc in a ring and work 5 rounds even; for each leg, make 6 sc in a ring and work 6 rounds even. Stuff lightly and sew through full body stitches.

Four character-inspired variations

1. Lavender jester-hood figure

Make a 24-stitch hood cup: 6 sc, 12, 18, 24, then four rounds even. For each hood point, ch 2, work 2 sc in the second chain, increase once on row 2 for 3 sc, then work 4 rows even; sew the 3-stitch bases to opposite hood sides.

2. Pink long-ear hood figure

Use the same 24-stitch hood in pink. Each ear begins with 6 sc in a magic ring and continues even for 10 rounds; flatten without stuffing and sew one straight and one gently bent at matched hood stitches.

3. Blue long-ear puppy figure

Replace the round head with the 14/20/26-stitch oval from the linked cat-face construction. Make two 6-stitch tubes for 14 rounds, flatten them, edge with pale blue slip stitches, and sew at opposite side points.

4. Sleepy yellow egg applique

Ch 7; sc in the second chain and next 4, place 3 sc in the last chain, rotate, sc in 4 unused loops, and place 2 sc in the starting chain. (14) Work one round with the six mapped oval increases for 20 stitches, embroider the face, and sew the flat oval to an original white background shape.
