I spent the weekend obsessing over making Ponyo and many hours later came up with this.
The hardest part was the waves around the skirt and then I did the mirror image in white to go under the body. Second hardest was getting the odd head shape. Still not happy with it and how I placed the eyes. The eyes look odd, but then she looks odd, a human head on a fishie body? Also not happy with the hair which came out lighter and fluffier. Maybe the eyes are too big for the head. *sigh*
This one will go to my Niece #2 (who I took to see the movie and she liked it x 5!) and I can make the second one for meeeee. With smaller eyes 'n darker hair.
I do like the nose and the smile, and the flippers. The hair I experimented on by combing the yarn, separating the plies. But look, she has a fat belly, like the song.

No pattern yet, as I can't figure out how to describe making hair. :/ That's a stumper.
Ponyo is for all ages! =)
Sad to hear about the lack of a pattern, but thanks for the great idea!
I have an idea of making different hair for Ponyo #2, as I did promise this one as a gift. Just need time to get round to it, as usual! Many distractions. I also think it would be fun to make lots of simpler ones, a crowd of little sisters!
