Mt Fuji really needs no introduction – it is a symbol of Japan and its most visited tourist destination. Commonly referred as “Fuji-san” or “Mr Fuji”, it is loved by many and features in many artworks and drawings. Why not make a crochet version? Mr Fuji the Ragdoll reminds me of a child wanting a cuddle and he’ll be receiving a lot!

Mr Fuji the Ragdoll is a ragdoll style crochet pattern for intermediate crocheters written using US (American) terms. You will work the pieces in rows before crocheting together and stuffing.

The pattern includes detailed instructions in an easy to follow layout but a knowledge of basic crochet stitches and techniques used to make ragdolls is essential.

Your tension, yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of your finished items. My Mr Fuji is approximately 16cm tall (5 inches) and 26cm wide (10 inches).

You will need:
