Tiny Ponyo Amigurumi {Crochet Pattern}

I gave my daughter Ponyo in her little green bucket. :)

My daughters love Ponyo.  My little one especially.  Given the opportunity, some days she will want to watch it on repeat.  I actually don't really mind.  It's a stunningly beautiful movie and well worth having as part of a kids collection.  For Christmas, I like to make gifts that are really personal for people.  I like my receiver to know that they got a gift that was from my heart to theirs.  This last year, I made my little lulu her very own tiny ponyo doll.  I wanted her to be able to hold Ponyo in her hand the way Soskei held Ponyo in his.  So here it is, my tiny ponyo pattern!
