Applique Doraemon / Doraemon Rakhi
Fig 1

Hello friends,
Doraemon is the Japnees cartoon which is very famous in India. It is earlees robotic cat who travels back in time.
Frankly speaking, I even didn't know the name of this cartoon until one of my friend requested me to make Rakhi of the cartoon Doraemon. When she requested then I seared and tried to make this applique.
Those who don't know what is Rakhi and Rakshabandhan, please refer my blog post on 4th Aug 2019. https://alkaandart.blogspot.com/search?q=Rakhi
So this time I made two rakhis specially for kids. One is Doraemon and other is of Teddy bear, the most famous animal among kids. I used blue and white yarn with 1.75  mm crochet hook for this.
