MOKONA PATTERN!!!! (finally)

Finally after much testing and retesting, writing and rewriting (stupid laptop) of the Mokona pattern I feel confident enough to share the pattern; now that I'm positive its not riddled with mistakes.
So here it is, Enjoy!




What you need:
-1 skien red heart supersaver or red heart with love worsted weight yarn in black or white.
-Bernat satin yarn in flamingo for the small details (any pink yarn would do)
-3.50mm dpns
-1 red or blue bead 1mm in diameter
-Cotton or polyfill
-yarn needle (you're gonna need it)

Pattern body:
CO 6 st across 3 DPN and join. (2 st per needle)
Round 1 and all odd rows: Knit to secure
Round 2:KFB all stitches (12sts)
Round 4:K1, KFB (18sts)
Round 6:K2, KFB (24sts)
Rounds 8, 10,12, 14 and 16: K3 KFB (70sts)
continue to Knit for 4 inches

Decrease rounds:
Round 1:K10, K2tog
Round 2 and all even numbered rows: Knit
Round 3:K9, K2tog
NOTE: This would be a good time to stop knitting and sew on the face, the bead and start to stuff the little guy. Continue to stuff until very firm before finishing up.
Round 5:K8,K2Tog
Round 7: K7,K2tog
Round 9: K6, K2tog
Round11:K5, K2tog
Round 13:K4, K2tog
Round 15:K3, K2tog
Round 17:K2, K2tog
Round 19:K1, K2tog
Round 20: Knit the last row and thread the tail through the loops and pull snuggly. tie off.

Tail: CO 3 st. and make an I-cord 1 inch in length. (for how to visit www.knittinghelp.com)

Arms (make 2):
CO 6 sts and divide over 3 DPNs (like with the body)
K1 row to secure
KFB all the sts (12 sts)
Continue to knit in the round until 2 inches in length. Cast off. Stuff and sew to body.

Ears (make 2):
CO 6 sts on a straight needle (or one DPN)
Row 1: K
Row 2: P
Row 3:KFB, K5
Row 4: PFB, K6
Row 5: K
Row 6: P
Row 7: K1, KFB, K6
Row 8:P1, PFB, P7
From row 9 on K one side and purl the other until 9 inches in length.
Cast off and sew on the top of the body (right beside the cast off end.)

Do the same in the pink yarn until 7 1/2 inches in length. sew to the other side of the ear piece.

Feet (make 2 again):
CO 6 sts and divide over 3 needles (again)
K1 row
KFB all sts.
Knit in the round until 3 inches in length. Stuff and thread yarn through the remaining stitches pull tight and tie.
Sew a little leftover pink yarn (4 satin sts) on just before the end of the foot (optional) and sew to either the bottom (for standing mokona) or to the bottom front (for a sitting one.).

And there you have it! Your very own adorable mokona!
If you have any questions at all feel free to ask me!

Happy knitting!
