NAGANO's "Chiikawa" series, which only began in 2020, has quickly taken the world by storm! After its TV anime adaptation, its unique style captivated audiences everywhere, making it a beloved phenomenon.
But beyond the anime, are you keeping up with the "Chiikawa" web manga? In a recent chapter (published March 3), Usagi stumbled upon a mysterious "angelic halo" item in a shrine, which completely changed their personality! They even knitted a Good Luck Charm for Exams for Chiikawa. And guess what? A skilled X user, quick as a flash, recreated this knitted charm in real life, earning instant praise from netizens for their incredible speed and craftsmanship!
Fans following the manga series will definitely remember this episode. After being touched by the mysterious shrine's angelic halo, Usagi suddenly transformed into a gentle and considerate character. Hachiware and Usagi were discussing how to cheer on Chiikawa, who was facing the "Weed Extermination Level 5" exam. The newly transformed Usagi then bought yarn and personally knitted a charm, even including a card wishing Chiikawa success on the exam.

Incredibly, shortly after the manga chapter dropped, X user Yuufo (@bon_66) tried their hand at knitting it. The white, light blue, and pink stripes, paired with a deep pink heart, show an incredibly high level of detail and accuracy – it looks almost identical to the one in the anime! Netizens were absolutely blown away.
Yuufo shared that as soon as they saw the charm in the manga, they thought, "I bet I can knit that!" So they immediately got to work, finishing it in just four hours. This palm-sized, colorful knitted charm instantly sparked a frenzy online, with the post racking up over 252,000 views in no time. Comments poured in: "So cute~", "That's lightning fast!", "Such skillful hands!", and some even said, "I'm going to try making one too!"
Turns out, quite a few other netizens have actually tried making it themselves. Looks like this charm is about to become a trend!
If you've got a knack for knitting, why not give it a shot? You could make one as your own lucky charm or gift it to a friend!
