Mokona Hat
You know Mokona, from xxxHolic? "Mokona is Mokona. You'd count them one Mokona, two Mokona, and then you'd stop because there's only two of them." Well, he's kind of adorable. So, I decided he deserves to have a hat made of him, you know? You can also make it in white if you want the Mokona from Tsubasa.

ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful being. Thank you so much for posting this pattern for the world to see and admire! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteI read that you had slowed up on posting to this account, but I wanted to let you know that it is absolutely amazing that you posted this pattern. I loved Tsubasa (even though I haven't finished it yet, even all these years after I started collecting them), and this is just so adorable. <3
