Greetings dear community, it's been a few days since I published an amigurumi and I really missed it, in recent weeks I've been very excited about the new season of one of the anime that I'm currently watching, it's about Kimetsu No Yaiba or Demon Slayer in English, I share this emotion with my friend @yetsimar who has been making drawings of her characters, that's why I remembered that it's been a year or more since I made the figure of the protagonist Tanjiro as an amigurumi, that's why this time I wanted to make his sister, the cute Nezuko.
This Nezuko is made entirely with 1mm acrylic yarn, #4 (1.25mm) crochet hook and stuffed with antiallergic acrylic fiber, it measures 11 centimeters and I feel very satisfied to have made the greatest number of details at such a small scale.
To make Nezuko, I first looked for a reference image in a chibi version, that is, the features make her look like a little girl, although her character appears in this way in the anime when she reduces her size to be inside the box that her brother carries in back to protect it from the sun. She was turned into a demon by another demon after he murdered her entire family except her brother Tanjiro, he becomes a demon hunter and travels with his sister on his back looking for a cure that can turn his sister back to human. Nezuko, her story is my beauty and that's why she inspired me a lot of tenderness.
I started with the feet making the sole of her sandals with light brown yarn, then her feet with an off-white yarn and then her ankle warmers with black yarn, returning to the off-white for the rest of her leg, as in other amigurumis I joined the leg and from there I knitted the body together.
Nezuko wears a pink kimono, that's why I made the bottom part, that is, the skirt separately and then I knitted it together with the body to start making the red and white checkered Obi with a small green border, then I changed to pink thread again for the chest part of the kimono which also has a white border.
I made the arms in two parts, starting from the shoulder to the wrist with pink, while I made the hand in bone color, then I stuffed both parts of them. I sewed the arms to the body in a way that they can be rotated.
With the same off-white thread I made the head, I stuffed it with fiber and sewed it to the body, I made the ears and the nose, while with sewing thread I embroidered the eyes with black and pink.
Nezuko's hair is black with orange tips, that's why I knitted a black circle and from there I made each strand of hair with chains and half double crochets on top of them, finally I sewed the hair to the head. I also made a tube shape with verte to make it look like the bamboo she wears as a muzzle.
For the black Haori I made 24 chains and worked over these two rounds, in the next round I made the holes for the sleeves replacing the stitches with chains and making some increases, I worked 16 rounds and then picked up single crochets on the edge of the holes and with 9 rounds I did each arm sleeve.
