The construction is straightforward, with a single continuous body-head piece and simple separate parts for the limbs, ears, wings, and tail. If you can crochet in the round and sew pieces together neatly, you will be very happy with how this turns out.

Why Crocheters Will Love It:

• The body and head are worked as one continuous piece, so the proportions come out right and there is no tricky join at the neck
• A pipe cleaner inside the tail lets you pose it into that signature gentle curve, which makes the finished Kero immediately recognizable
• The oversized floppy ears are worked flat and sewn on, giving them that soft droop that is central to the character
• White wing construction is worked from a foundation chain, producing the right flat, feathery shape without complex shaping
• At 15cm, the finished size is display-worthy without being unwieldy, perfect for a desk or shelf
• The optional bell inside the body adds a sweet little detail that fans of the original series will appreciate
• The pattern is specific about placement, telling you exactly which rows to attach each piece so the character reads correctly from every angle

Perfect For:

Cardcaptor Sakura fans, anime gift-givers, makers who love character-accurate amigurumi, and anyone who wants a finished piece that tells a story the moment someone picks it up.

One guardian, one hook, a little mustard yarn. Kero has been waiting for you to make him. Start the body-head and you will have him finished before you know it!
