Whisper!






My oldest son loves all things Yo-Kai.  Since I have already made him Jibanyan, it was time to make Whisper!  This pattern may be messy and has only been tested by me, so if anything is confusing, feel free to ask or help correct my pattern! Thanks, Natasha (mnopxs2).







I used all worsted weight yarn (you may use whatever you wish tho)  Feel free to use whatever colors you wish, I am just sharing the yarn I used. If you want I can look up the specific yarns I used for each color; I just used yarn I had at home.

Blue (Mouth)

Size E-4/3.50mm crochet hook

*He came out about 6 inches tall for me, but that will all depend on how tight or loose you crochet :)

I put my body together now before adding my tail.  That is all up to you!






TAIL

For the tail you can either crochet it all first and then add your pipe cleaner into the middle, or as I did, SC around the pipe cleaner.

In Red, ch 5, join together.
Rnd 1: SC in each ch around (5 SC)
Rnds 2-20: SC around (5 SC)  You can make as many rounds as you want for the tail, I made 20 rounds for my Jibanyan's tail.

Rnd 8L SC2tog around (6 SC)

Fasten off and leave a long enough tail to attach to the end of the red tail.  I cut and folded the ends of the pipe cleaner so they won't poke through the yarn so easy.  I attached the Blue Tail ends and the Red Tails sides with a whip stitch around them.  The Picture helps show it off better.  Feel free to sew in some blue fire details on the tail.  Attach to his body at the middle of the tail and middle bottom of his torso.





Now all that is left is putting together your Doll!  Thank you so so so much for reading my pattern!  Hope your project turns out wonderful!  -Natasha (mnopxs2).
