Crochet Totoro Amigurumi Free Patterns & Paid

Totoro amigurumi is a delightful and rewarding project for fans of Studio Ghibli and lovers of whimsical handmade toys. Totoro, the iconic forest spirit from My Neighbor Totoro, lends himself perfectly to the soft, rounded shapes of amigurumi, making him a favorite subject for crocheters around the world. Typically crafted using soft, medium-weight yarn in shades of gray and white, with bits of black and cream for facial features and detailing, a crochet Totoro captures the character’s gentle, lovable presence. The process usually begins with crocheting the large, egg-shaped body, followed by the stubby arms, ears, and pointy leaf hat if you choose to include one. The facial features—such as the wide, friendly eyes, nose, and signature whiskers—are often added with embroidery or felt for precision, while the small, upside-down V-shaped markings on his belly give Totoro his unmistakable look. Some patterns even include miniature companions like the smaller blue and white Totoros, or soot sprites, to make a full Ghibli-inspired set. Whether you’re making a large cuddly version or a small handheld one, Totoro amigurumi can be customized in size, texture, and expression, depending on your skill level and yarn choice. Not only is this project a wonderful way to practice shaping and assembling amigurumi pieces, but it also results in a deeply nostalgic keepsake that brings a touch of magic and childhood wonder to your home or gift-giving. Crocheting Totoro is not just about making a plush—it’s about recreating a piece of cinematic joy with your own hands.
