Ponyo Amigurumi

I was asked by a work colleague if I could crochet Ponyo for her children. Of course I said yes!  

I was dreading creating Ponyo's hair as I have never made hair like this before. It took a LONG time to insert all the yarn for the hair and I was super nervous about cutting it into shape, however, I found cutting the hair very therapeutic in the end; maybe I'm in the wrong profession...

End result:

Here is the pattern that I based my Ponyo on. I found it very easy to follow and quite fun to make. The only changes I made were to the 'tail', I think I prefer the wavy look.
