Today marks the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Rabbit. I decided to celebrate by making two amigurumi- a kokeshi cat and rabbit! The cat was directly from a pattern, but the rabbit was an adaptation made especially for the new year. I'm still playing around with her hair. The first "wig" I put on her looked terrible. This one isn't too bad- it's very wild and earthy looking. We'll see if I ever come up with the perfect hairdo!
However, the Vietnamese do not celebrate this year as the Year of the Rabbit. For them, it is the Year of the Cat. Good news for our kokeshi cat- He won't feel left out!
Kokeshi Cat Pattern available here.
