Katamari: The Prince

Submission for

The contest is a pattern customization contest by using 's Strawberry Moshi pattern. I took a look at the pattern and the shape of the body reminded me of the Prince's head in the Katamari games. I wanted to make him right away! I had to modified the pattern by adding a couple of rows to match the length of his head. The rest of the parts, such as the body, arms, legs, face, and antennae, were all created off the top of my head. When I was crocheting the body, I cut out a cardboard circle and placed it on the bottom so it would stay flat when I stuffed it. From there, I made his butt separately and crochet it on Since it was flat, I had an easy time sewing it on I used pipe cleaners in his arms and legs, so he's posable; he can just barely hold himself up I crocheted the face separately and hot glued it onto the head. I ran into some trouble with the glue, but I minimized the damage as much as I can. I also used felt for his face details.
