After creating the Sailor Venus amigurumi doll, I thought I would be creating Sailor Moon next, but guess what? My daughter requested that I make Sailor Jupiter!
She was particularly interested in having me make the pompom hair tie for her ponytail.
Sailor Jupiter's first appearance was actually the very first Sailor Moon episode I've ever watched. She was my favorite Sailor Scout from the anime for a while.
There is something to be liked about each Sailor Scout and for Sailor Jupiter, I particularly loved how she is such a tough girl and doesn't fear standing up against bullies.
Sailor Jupiter is also very independent because her parents passed away when she was at a young age and she had to learn how to do many things herself and became very good at it as proven by her cooking skills.
All that said, Sailor Jupiter can still have that soft side of her. She cares about her friends and can also have love interests and crushes like many other teenagers do at her age.
Do you remember the very first episode of Sailor Moon you watched?

Notes
- I made this amigurumi doll using the "Yarn Under Single Crochet" technique. This technique makes the stitches tighter and appears more aligned.
- I also used a half-color changing technique to achieve cleaner lines when changing colors from one row to another.
- When working on the hairpiece, I used the underside of the piece as the "outside" or the side that is showing. The curls of the strands will follow a natural curl towards the face.
