To celebrate the release of We Love Katamari Damacy + Royal Reverie on the Nintendo Switch, I decided to write down the pattern I used to make amigurumi katamari when the game first came out in the mid 2000s. I remember the thrill of the roll, the joy of watching my katamari grow on screen, the screams of people as they were rolled up to make stars in the sky… ah, good times.

Includes directions for making striped katamari. This pattern is ideal for stash busting; use whatever leftover yarn you want in your favourite colours, solids or variegated… the cosmos is the limit!
