Totoro — Grey Forest Spirit
by Knytstudio
Description
An editable Totoro amigurumi design study with a rounded grey body, pointed ears, a cream belly, white eye patches, black whiskers and a broad tail. Open the 3D designer to rotate the model and change its colours, proportions or individual components. The project has 39 editable components, including two safety eyes, and approximately 5,466 crochet stitches. Estimated height is 20 cm with the Thin yarn preset; actual size depends on your yarn, hook and tension. The written rounds and 3D model share the same stitch recipes. Whiskers are flattened crochet pieces and the seven belly markings are raised components approximating embroidery. This version does not include the leaf accessory. These generated instructions have not been physically test-crocheted. The 3D shape is an estimate, and the assembly notes do not specify every stitch position or orientation. Use the 3D view as an additional placement reference; the finished result is not yet verified.
