Onigiri Sushi free amigurumi pattern

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a free crochet pattern on my website.  So let’s get to it!  I love all things wrapped in Nori (seaweed) aka Gim (Korean for seaweed).  Here’s an amigurumi onigiri I created.  Onigiri is basically a rice ball wrapped in seaweed paper.  They’re often triangular shaped.  This one has a cute face on it because… well aren’t food things so much cuter with faces on them? ^^

    Hi! I’m using this pattern to make earrings. It’s absolutely cute. I may be wrong but I think there is a couple of mistakes in the pattern. In the rice part, round 9 to 11 are sc around every st, but for the next round “round 11” is written again, should it say “round 12”?; and in this round in order to decrease from 30 to 24 stitches, shouldn’t it be [Sc2tog, sc in 3 next st]?

    Thanks again for this pattern, it’s lovely ^^
