Made for my sister as a belated birthday/leaving home present.Took me a while to figure out ho to make him but I am very pleased with the way he turned out.
Abbreviations
stst = Stockinette stitch. Knit being the right side and Purl being
the wrong side.
Kfb = Knit front and back into a stitch to increase.
K2tog or P2tog = Knit or Purl 2 stitches together to decrease
B and T = break of yarn leaving a long end and thread through sts
left on the knitting needle and pull tight to close the hole then
fasten off
I-cord=
Knitted on Dpn's. cast on stst then knit as normal, instead of
turning to purl, push the stitches to the end of the dpn and knit
again pulling the wool behind the stitches. After doing this for a
few rows you will see the cord appearing, pull the cord to tighten
the stitches.
If knitting in the round divide the stitches equally
among the needles and when it says to Purl a row Knit instead. Stuff
as you go.

The eyes I made with yellow and black felt and then put a french knot for the pupil. To do the body pattern I just
embroidered it on using the same colour as the tail and neck ring. I
found that every picture of Kudamon I could find had a different
pattern on so in the end I just made loads of lines and circles
around the body. The mouth and claws were just embroidered on in
black wool. The nose was done in pink.
