Kewpie Baby
Pattern Overview
About the Pattern
This pattern is based off of a lil kewpie baby! You can make a bag or wallhanging or anything with this graph :-) The bag above was made using a 3.5mm hook and a light worsted weight yarn.
Below you’ll find two options for a pattern. The graph and one that is written out - I recommend utilizing both.
The pattern is for personal use only. If you create something with this pattern, please tag me in it! I would LOVE to see it <3

Right-Handed Graph Pattern
Chain 42 + 1 to turn to start! This pattern should be worked up using single crochet stitches. On the graph you’ll see that the eyelashes are not actual stitches. This is because I used surface crochet to add them. Here’s a tutorial I found on how to surface crochet if you’re unfamiliar.
Super super important for this pattern is that you are comfortable reading a graph and referencing the right side and wrong side. This pattern will come out completely different if you don’t. You’ll notice you’re off track if you have some disconnected stitches in the mouth, nose, and hair.

THIS GRAPH IS A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE BACK. You are starting on a wrong side row meaning you carry the yarn towards you on odd # rows. Find a more in depth explanation on how to read a left-handed graph here.
Written Pattern
Please reference the key to the right to read this pattern. WS and RS refer to which side you should be on. If utilizing the graph above, the RS will be the odd numbers, while the even numbers will refer to the WS. This is worked up in single crochet and you must remember to chain one at the end of each row to turn.
The foundation chain does NOT count as a row.
