I finally got the perfect excuse to dive into something I’ve been wanting to do for ages: Sanrio fanart! 😍 My latest commission was for Fifi, one of Sanrio’s lesser-known but absolutely adorable characters. This project was such a joy to work on since I’ve always loved Sanrio’s simple yet charming designs. They translate so beautifully into amigurumi!
One thing I’m especially proud of with this project is Fifi’s dress. I knitted it completely from scratch, without a pattern, to fit her body perfectly. Knitting has always been a challenge for me, but my dream was to be able to make simple clothes for the dolls I create. When I first started practicing about five to six years ago, this was the skill level I hoped to reach one day. Seeing how much I’ve improved makes me so happy. I finally feel like I’ve overcome that challenge! Not only am I more comfortable with knitting now, but I’ve even started designing my own knitted amigurumi. ☺️
I’ve been meaning to explore Sanrio fanart for a long time, but for one reason or another, I kept putting it off. This commission gave me the push I needed, and now I’m feeling super inspired to finally start creating some exclusive Sanrio-inspired fanart patterns! If you’re a Sanrio fan too, stay tuned to my Patreon page for updates! 🤩❤️
I can’t wait to bring more of these adorable characters to life in crochet form. Let me know which Sanrio characters you’d love to see next! 💖
