Chiyo-Chichi, the short tempered cat father of Chiyo-Chan makes, no sense and this is perhaps why I love him so. Rising from the fevered dreams of Osaka and Sakakke, he now takes Amigurumi crochet form in this newest and very easy pattern of mine.

In Amigurumi form he was rather simple to suss out, and though the embroidery on his face didn’t turn out quite as I had hoped, and his ears aren’t as straight as I might have liked, he is dreamy.
