Studio Ghibli : Princess Mononoke

CROCHET AMIGURUMI PATTERN

Inspired by one of the most iconic heroines from the Studio Ghibli movie princess Mononoke, may I introduce to you San/Princess Mononoke herself. The pattern includes details for how to make the doll with cape and accessories, as well as the detachable hood that can fit over her head.
