Crochet Isaac

2011-11-20T17:23:00.000-08:00

I've been playing this game a lot and it's awesomely disturbing. For those who don't know, this game is called The Binding of Isaac. This pattern is to crochet the main character. I do not own the character at all, he is a creation of Mr. Edmund McMillen, and he kindly allowed me to post this pattern.

Do not sell this pattern, don't try and claim it as your own, don't sell things made from this pattern.

Note: it is not important that they all be done differently, they will curl up no matter which tentacle pattern you follow, but they will curl a bit differently

place eyes on the body in the front of the octo's body, on the 2nd to last row of single crochets. there should be 3 stitches visible in between the eye placement if you are using 13 mm eyes.

Bottom
~ ch 2
~ 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, slip stitch to first ch, bind off leaving a long tail

make sure your octo is stuffed fully, then sew the bottom into the opening.

other details, if you want to add suckers to the tentacles, use colored glue or felt pieces.
real octopi have mouths with beaks at the bottom of their bodies, the stitches down here might look like a mouth if you use a different color

you could make an alien creature or cthulhu like creature if you make a human like body instead of a bottom and attach it where you would the bottom.

i'd love to see all yours! if you can, post them in the comments :)

Boobie Beanie for Cancer Awareness month

2009-10-05T17:16:00.000-07:00

materials needed:
~ size I hook
~ skin color worsted weight yarn (i use red heart in "nude" color)
~ nipple color worsted weight yarn (i use red heart in light brown)
~ opional pink yarn

This pattern is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, which is October. This pattern is free to use, but do not copy or claim as your own, please.
You can make as many boobies from this pattern as you wish, but do not sell unless all proceeds will go to a breast cancer charity.

SOME INFO ON BREAST CANCER

Breast cancer, like all cancers, has no cure yet, but can be treated if caught early.
Men can get breast cancer too, but it is 100 times more frequent in women.
Breast cancer is second most common type of cancer after lung cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death.
It is important to get yearly breast exams at a doctor's and perform self checks regularly.
I hope that anyone who makes/wears one of these hats will spread the word of breast cancer awareness to friends and loved ones.

NIPPLE

CH 2 with nipple color yarn
- 3 sc's in 2nd chain from hook, join with a slip stitch (3 scs)
- ch 1, 1 sc in each sc, join with a slip stitch (3 scs)
- ch 1, 2 sc's in each sc around, join with a slip stitch (6 scs)
- ch 1, 2 sc's in each sc around, join with a slip stitch (12 scs)
- ch 1, *1 sc in next st, 2 sc's in next st* repeat from * around (18 sc's)

INCREASES
NOTE: for baby sizes, do only the first 3 rows of increases.

attach skin color yarn when you join with a slip stitch and chain 3 with skin color. ch 3 counts as a double crochet here.
- 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in next st, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 2 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 3 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 4 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 5 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3
- ch 3, 1 dc in same stitch as chain/join, *1 dc in each of next 6 sts, 2 ds's in next ch* repeat from * around ending with 1 dc and join to top of ch 3

WORK EVEN

- ch 3, skip same stitch as chain/join and work 1 dc in each stitch around, join with a slip stitch. repeat this for 3 more rows or as desired.
- work one row of single crochets in skin color (or pink) with decreases where needed if hat is too big.

OTHER IDEAS

you can make boobie pillows if you continue with decreases and stuff afterwords.
leave spaces open and make a teapot cozy.

if you have more ideas, leave in the comments below :)

Shark hat Pattern

2009-06-14T18:19:00.000-07:00

Shark hat Pattern!

Materials
~gray yarn
~pink yarn
~white yarn
~some black yarn and an eye color yarn
~I hook for adult size (you will have to figure out the changes for smaller sizes, sorry)
~G hook for teeth
~tapestry or yarn needle for sewing parts on

NOTE: this is worked in Amigurumi style, this means the rounds are not joined and the rounds are a continuous spiral.
This pattern was made by looking at the finished product so it is pretty accurate. May be a bit confusing, and is not tested, this is why it is free.
You may make as many shark hats from this as you like if they are for you or for a gift, but don't sell any hats that you make from this pattern.
Do not try and sell or claim this pattern as your own.

TAIL & BODY

tail fin 1

with grey yarn and I hook ch2
rnd 1: 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook.- 4 stitches
rnd 2: *2 sc in next sc 1 sc in next sc* 2 times- 6 stitches
rnd 3: *2 sc in next sc 1 sc in next 2 scs* 2 times - 8 stitches
rnd 4: *2 sc in next sc 1 sc in next 3 scs* 2 times - 10 stitches
rnd 5: *2 sc in next sc 1 sc in next 4 scs* 2 times - 12 stitches
rnd 6: *2 sc in next sc 1 sc in next 5 scs* 2 times - 14 stitches
rnd 7: 2 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, 1 sc in each of the next 3 stitches, (decrease over next 2 scs) twice

(this part is kind of tricky, i just counted that i did 42 sc's as i went around) counts as about 2.5 rnds

next rnd:(decrease over next 2 scs) twice, 1 sc in next 23 sts
(decrease over next 2 scs) twice, 1 sc in each of next 3 sts, (decrease over next 2 scs) twice, single crochet in next 2 sts, slip st looseley into next stitch and fasten off 8 or 9 sts total

tail fin 2

work as tail fin 1 but DO NOT fasten off at the end!

another tricky part to explain:
join the tail fins to make the complete tail by single crocheting around half of the current fin (tail fin 2) and joining up the other fin and working a complete round on that one, and then finishing the other half of the 2nd fin. total you'll have about 16-18 stitches. if there's a hole in the middle where you joined, you can sew it if you like.
counts as rnd 1 of tail.

rnd 2: 1 sc in each stitch around if you had 18 sts in the previous round. if you had less than 18, then increase tso you have 18 sts in that round.
rnd 3: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 8 sts) twice - 20 sts total
rnd 4-7: 1 sc in each stitch around - 20 sts total
rnd 8: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 9 sts) twice - 22 sts
rnd 9 1 sc in each st around - 22 sts total
rnd 10: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 10 sts) twice - 24 sts
rnd 11: 1 sc in each st around - 24 sts
rnd 12: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 11 sts) twice - 26 sts
rnd 13: 1 sc in each st around - 26 sts
rnd 14: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 12 sts) twice - 28 sts
rnd 15: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 6 sts) 4 times - 32 sts
rnd 16: 1 sc in each st around - 32 sts
rnd 17: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 7 sts) 4 times - 36 sts
rnds 18- 21: 1 sc in each st around - 36 sts
rnd 19: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 8 sts) 4 times - 40 sts
rnd 20: 1 sc in each st around - 40 sts
rnd 21: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 9 sts) 4 times - 44 sts
rnd 22-23: 1 sc in each st around - 44 sts
rnd 24: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 10 sts) 4 times - 48 sts
rnd 25: 1 sc in each st around - 48 sts
rnd 26: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 11 sts) 4 times - 52 sts
rnd 27: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 12 sts) 4 times - 56 sts
rnd 28: (2 sc in next st, 1 sc in each of next 6 sts) 8 times - 64 sts
rnd 29- 41: 1 sc in each st around - 64 sts

check to see if it is a good size, like if it is too big. if it is too big decrease evenly for 2 rows till it is the perfect size. if it is perfect continue evenly for 2 rows.
end off gray at 43 rows

with pink, attach yarn with a single crochet near where you ended with grey and work 1 sc in the BACK LOOP ONLY for 1 row, end off pink and attach white.

TEETH
with white attached to where you ended pink and a G hook, (ch 4, sc in snd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch) skip 1 stitch and slip stitch tightly to next stitch. repeat around hat and then finish off.

EYES (make 2)
with eye color yarn and I hook ch 2
6 sc in 2nd ch from hook
switch color to white and looseley sc 1 in each stitch around, join with loose slip stitch and end off with a long tail to sew
eyes should lie flat if you did this loose enough.
with black and a tapestry or yarn needle, sew a streat line from one end of the pupil to the other end.

FINS (make 3)
Note: this is kind of confusing, so you can make this however you want, you might come out with a better way than I did)

with I hook and grey yarn, work rnds 1-7 as you did tail fins
next rnd
2 sc in each of next 2 sts, 1 sc in each of next 2 sts, 1 hdc in each of next 2 sts, 1 dc in next st, (1 treble crochet in each of next 3 sts, but finish them off together so it is one stitch), 1 dc in next st, 1 hdc in wach of next 2 sts, 1 sc in each of next 5 ssts, finish off leaving a long tail for sewing.

attach side fins at around rnd 28

here is a diagram of how it should look flat

enjoy! and if you make one i'd love to see yours
hope it's not too confusing ><

Chihuahua Sweater 2.0

2009-04-11T15:31:00.000-07:00

This is a variation on the first chihuahua sweater pattern i made. This one is less stiff and quicker to make. There might be a problem with puppies getting their feet in the double crochet so I don't think I would reccomend for puppies, but for grown chihuahuas around 2 lbs, this should work great.

As with all my patterns, these are for personal use! do not post this pattern anywhere or make these to profit. You may link to it, though. Items made are not to be sold unless for charity. You can donate items made from this pattern to animal shelters if you wish.

materials
i crochet hook
worsted weight yarn
Optional (dog to try on and fix as you go)

NOTE
hood part i put is not complete

chain 30
join with slip stitch to first chain.
rnd 1: chain 3, skip first stitch and double crochet in each chain around, join to top of chain 3 with slip stitch (you should have 30 sts)
rnds 2- 5: chain 3, skip first stitch and double crochet in each dc around, join to top of chain 3 with slip stitch (you should have 30 sts)
rnd 6: chain 1 and single crochet in each stitch around. slip stitch to first chain.
rnd 7: chain 1 and single crochet in next 3 sc's. chain 6 or 7 depending on how tight your chains are, skip 5 sc's and sc in the next sc, sc in each of the next 13 sts. chain 6 or 7 again, skip 5 sc's and sc in the next st, and sc into next 2 sts, join with slip stitch to 1st chain.
rnd 8: chain 1, sc in next 2 sts, 5 sc's in chain space 1 sc in next 14 sts, 5 scs in chain space, 1 sc in next 3 sc's, join with slip stitch.

end here if you just want a sweater for the doggy, but i have a hood on mine, this next part isn't complete because i put ear holes in the hood and they didn't come out too good, if you're brave enough to try and finish the hood yourself here's the part i could figure out

for hood, don't end off and
rnd 11: chain2, 1 hdc in next 6 sts, 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next st, 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next st, 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next st, 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next st, 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next st, 2 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next st,1 hdc in next 6 sts, join to top of 2nd chain with slip stitch.

Crochet Chihuahua/puppy sweater

RULES FOR USING THIS PATTERN
You may not sell this pattern! It is mine and I wrote it out to help people with small dogs because it is hard to find clothes for dogs this tiny. You may modify this pattern to fit your dog. You may link to it but not copy and paste the pattern on other sites.
This is the second pattern I write out. I have corrected some errors, but there may still be some.

Hopefully this will be useful to someone with a small dog!

materials used
g size hook
worsted weight varigated yarn

main sweater:

~chain 39 and join with sl st at the first chain.

round 1: ch 1. sc in same ch as sl join and in every stitch around (39)

rnd 2: mark where first stitch is and continue single crocheting without a slip stitch for second round. if you like, you can join, but i didn't cause i don't like the seam thing that slip stitch leaves. (39)

rnd 3: sc in the next 3 sc, chain 10, skip next 9 sc's and sc in the next st. sc in the next 14 sc's. ch 10 skip next 9 sc's and sc in the next st. sc in the next 2 sc and start new round (39)

rnd 4: sc in the next 3 sc's, sc 9 around ch 10 sp, sc in 15 sc's, sc 9 around ch 10 sp, sc in next 2 sc's. (39)

rnd 5- 21: sc in each sc around (39)

bind off when it is the desired length. 21 rounds should be around the right length if you want it shorter or longer, just add more rows. if it is too small, you could go up a hook size or do HDC's instead of SC's.

optional hood:
i wanted a hood on mine, i was just making this as i went so, it came out pretty loose.

row 1: attach yarn with a sc at 4 loops into the arm hole area at the top of the sweater. sc in the next 23 st's. ch 1 turn.

row 2-12: sc in every sc. ch 1. turn

row 13: sc in next 6 st, dec, sc in next 7 st, dec, sc in next 6 st. ch 1. turn.

row 14-16: sc until you reach dec and then dec, sc until you reach next dec and sc in each stitch till you get to the end. ch 1, turn.

this should make the hood big enough to go over your dog's head. bind off. fold the top of the hood in half and sew it together.

Amigurumi Lion Pattern

2009-01-31T21:02:00.000-08:00

I made this up as I went along, I thought I would share with other people. I wanted to make a lion, but none of the patterns available were cute enough for me

this pattern can be made in 2 ways, instuctions are at the bottom for assembly. you can also adapt it to make a bear or other animals!

You can use this pattern, but you can't sell it or claim it as your own! I made it up and I took the time to write it up, so please respect that! You may link to this, but don't copy and paste the whole thing to your own blog! You can make as many lions from this as you want to give away or keep. You can sell some of these if the proceeds will go to a charity, but not if they will go to yourself or a company.

Materials
~worsted weight or thinner yarn ( i used a yarn i had in my stash that was missing the label, it's soft and somewhat silky feeling, thinner than worsted, i remember the color was honey)

~2 balls of fun fur yarn (i used lion brand fun fur in copper)

~F or G hook (i used f because my yarn was kinda thin and i didn't want stuffing poking through)

note: this pattern is worked in spirals. do not join rounds. use a stitch marker to keep your place.

round 1: 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook (or in magic ring)

~in loop (or 2nd chain from hook), make 4 sc (4)

~ sc 2 tog, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 7 st, sc 2 tog

~ sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 7 st, sc 2 tog

~ 1 sc in next 2 st, sc 2 tog, 1 sc in next 2 st

~ sc 2 tog, 1 sc, sc 2 tog, sc 2 tog

~ 1 sc in each st, you should have 4. slip stitch in next st, finish off.

when folded in half, it should be symmetrical.

you can stuff the mustache and add a face to have a toy mustache, or you can leave it unstuffed and add it to something and

wear it on your face. it's your mustache! do what you want!

some ideas i came up with a stuffed mustache, is that it looks a bit like a tamarind pod if it's dark brown, or it could also look like a poo. In asia (i think korea or japan), they have some poo's with faces on em and people think they're cute lol.
