I came out with a video a while back showing my Blue Totoro. I just had to make these adorable forest spirits because I love the movie. It’s whimsical and my kids love it too. I have a link below on my old video. This is back when I first started and didn’t show my face. I also sound super awkward because I am reading from a script I wrote.
Here is my pattern for the Blue Totoro: Blue Totoro. Below is the video reference to guide you along the way.
This show is adorable. I love it. My kids love it. It’s just a nice, clean show for kids and I don’t have to worry about what they are watching when I put this one. Cory Carson is a show on Netflix and it revolves around Cory and his family. Chrissy also has her own show and it’s so cute. If you guys haven’t seen this show, it’s a must see if your kids love cars. There are tons of shows out there with bad writing and they have generic lines and you have a few chuckles but this show is on another level.
So, being me, I had to make these dolls. My son’s birthday is in July and he got so excited when I started making them. How could I resist? He was excited that I was making them for him. If you want to make Cory and Chrissy Carson please click on this link here: Cory Carson Patterns.

3. Cut out letters out of white felt. You can add any words you like. For this doll I added the words “Anh Oi”
Since I started YouTube channel I haven’t been accepting commissions to sell my dolls. Recently I decided to sell some of my dolls on my Etsy shop. I have reopened it for those who want to purchase dolls. Right now there are only 4 dolls on sale. I will post more later. Here is the link to my Etsy shop: PigLovesMouse.
As for commissioned orders, I will accept 3 into a waiting list. Once those 3 dolls are finished and sent, the waiting list will start over. Just use this post and comment below. The first 3 will be entered into a waiting list. I will create another post once the next waiting list starts. Pricing will be discussed once the doll request is finalized. At the moment, I will ship only to the United States. I will let you know if that changes.
Feel free to share this post to anyone you know would want a cute crocheted doll from me 🙂 Have a great day guys!
