Here is crochet Pochita from the anime series, Chainsaw Man, looking devilishly cute! His appearance looks like a dog and reminds me of a pug with his face and snout.
But right above his snout, he has a chainsaw. He also has an interesting handle that wraps around the top of his body.
Prior to his dog form, Pochita was known to be “the devil that devils fear the most” since he had the power to obliterate a demon completely and erase their existence. Pochita, in his dog state, forms a bond with the lead character Denji.
Although fearsome in his prior life, crochet Pochita amigurumi is quite adorable rolling and playing around in the grass. You just want to pet him, but be mindful of his saw!
And look he’s made friends with another type of monster!
When constructing crochet Pochita’s body, I gave him a body shape similar to some of the other 4 legged creatures I’ve released patterns for on this blog which includes Moo Deng the Hippo and P-Chan the Pig.
For the creation of the handle, I wanted it sturdy enough to hold onto and keep its shape, so I used a pipe cleaner and single crocheted around it.
The free Pochita crochet pattern and video tutorial is available below. I hope you enjoy making this Pochita amigurumi. Make sure to tag me with your projects on my Instagram @ami_amour.

HANDLE

Fold pipe cleaner in half. Twist ends closed. Point twisted ends inward so that the sharp points aren’t pointing outward.
With black yarn, fasten on with sc into the top part of the stem. Sc one more time into the top part.
And then sc under both stems all the way across.
At the end go under one stem and sc 3 times under one stem only and fasten off. This will secure the yarn and make sure it doesn’t fall off the pipe cleaner.
