Free crochet pattern : little onigiri

Let me share the analogy behind this little onigiri, based on a book I read as a teenager :

“It’s like correlating people’s unique qualities to the delicious sour plum that can be put in a rice ball… Maybe we all carry a little plum…that shows at the back of our onigiri !

In this world, there are rice balls filled with all kind of wonderfully different ingredients… but they protrude at the back of our rice ball, so we can’t always see our own flavor.

We could be looking at ourselves thinking : “I’m just a plain, white-rice, little onigiri” even though it’s not quite true, is it ?

Because, turn around and look closely, we all carry a unique and delicious sour plum.

*So perhaps, when we feel envious of others, that’s because we can clearly see theirs, right there on their back, when we’re a little blind to our own.” *

By sharing this pattern, I hope to remind everyone their awesomeness. Whenever you forget it just tell yourself that your awesomeness is right there, stamped on your back.
