This is fanart of Miso from Katamari that I made for personal use and wrote the pattern as I went along to share with anyone that would like to make their own.
The pattern is for the main structure only. The soup and face details were needle felted but you can also use felted sheets cut into shapes and sewn on or embroidery floss.
Yarn and hook size I used produced a plush about 9" tall with the antenna. Because I used a small hook with thicker yarn, it did get a little tricky for the arms, legs and antenna. If it seems too difficult, you can always try going a hook size larger or you can use dk sized yarn for the entire plush but it will be a different size.

Secure and weave in tail
With coral colored yarn, go back to round 6 where the stitches are sticking out, pick up each stitch and sc around. Secure and weave in tail. This is optional but will help create the skirt look for Miso's outfit.
Now you will make a separate piece that will be going on the inside of Miso's head to finalize the bowl and close off the inside of the plush. I will be needle felting the details so if that is not something you're planning to do, you can use a brown color to make the center of the head and cc to red on the last row.
With red, mr 6

2. *inc, sc* (18)
3. *inc, sc2* (24)

7. *inc, sc6* (48)

Secure and leave long tail for sewing
Add stuffing. Try not to add too much in the head and stop stuffing a little over the neckline. You want it to be a little crater on the top in the shape of a bowl so you'll have room to make your soup. Take the piece you just made inside of the head and sew into place.

For the arms, use red yarn, for the legs, use purple

7. *sc*
Secure and save long tail for sewing.
Attach the ball on top of the antenna base. Sew antenna to the center top of Miso's head/bowl.
-----------------------------------------------------
For the details, I used felting fibers (you can make them yourself by brushing out yarn with a wire brush) and a barbed felting needle. Colors I used were a light beige, black, red and orange for the face and brown, white, and green for the soup.
Add the fibers in light layers and work your way up slowly until you get to your desired look.
For the face, felt a square shape with beige.
Add the eyes, nose and mouth. For the frame of the face, I used yellow embroidery floss.
Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy your new plush!
