Ponyo is a charming animated childrenʼs film by Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. The titular character is a little goldfish who, like the Little Mermaid, wants to become a human girl so that she can be with a certain human boy. Along the way, Ponyo is carried around in a bucket and takes a great liking to sliced ham. There is also an intermediate mode of her transformation into human form, in which she runs around with bizarrely compelling chicken hands and feet. True fans will agree: these are motifs that must be knit!
Iʼve provided these three colourwork Ponyo charts without any directions as to how they might be used in your projects. I happened to make a felted bag out of the low-res Ponyo chart, and a larger felted pouch out of the high-res one. You can pick your own yarns and needles and make whatever you want: pullovers, cushion covers, blankets, whatever. Enjoy!
