Teru Teru Bozu | Amigurumi pattern

Hi!
Recently weather’s a bit crazy and we don’t know what to wait.. And if tomorrow we’re going to have an outdoor activity?
Japanese farmers used to hang outside of their window a Teru Teru Bozu , a doll supposed to have magical powers to bring good weather and to stop or prevent a rainy day.
Now the children make this little ghost before school trip :)

This’s my amigurumi version ^-^
