Cyndaquil Plushie
I finally decided to make a Cyndaquil. It's my starter pokemon in HeartGold, and I really do love it :D The flames on the back are made a little differently, but it's not hard to do. If you have any questions or find any problems with the pattern, please let me know and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Cyndaquil Materials WW Yarn yellow , blue, red and gold (or a light orange) G Hook Black Embroidery thread Fiberfill Yarn Needle Gauge is not very important as long as your hook and yarn choice results in a consistent stitch that is tight enough to prevent the stuffing from coming through. Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicates the total number of stitches that should be in that round or row. HEAD and BODY: Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12) Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18) Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24) Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (30) Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36) F/O.

Azumarill Plushie
I made this doll right now for several reasons. First off, it's coming up to Easter, and what more perfect of a pokemon for the Easter Baskets? Part Easter Egg, part Bunny -- and in it's shiny form, it's a Yellow-Gold color - so both forms are perfect. Won't he be adorable nestled down in that obnoxious fake grass snuggled up next to the Jelly-Bellies and the little yellow marshmallow peeps? The other reason I wanted to make this one, is that I felt like making a slightly easier pattern. As always, if you find any typos, mistakes or just get confused, give me a holler.... WW yarn in blue, white and small amount of black (for tail) Fiberfill Small bits of felt for eyes, mouth, ear insets and spots G Hook Tapestry/Yarn Needle Sewing thread to match yarn and felt pieces Gauge isn't terribly important here, but your choice of hook and yarn should result in a tight stitch that won't allow the fill to show through. Beginning with white yarn: BALL of TAIL: Using blue:
Alice's Soda Can Bookmarks
What does Wonderland's Alice have to do with Christmas? Absolutely nothing. Except that the same procedure with which I made her 'Drink me' bookmark I employed to make a more Christmas-y version. (PDFs of each design included.) First, the ingredients: An empty aluminum can (one per bookmark)White card stockMatt fixativeCraft knifeBone folder1/8” spring punch/eyelet setter and eyelet/s (I have this one) Straight edgeCutting matBlack perle cotton or crochet cottonSmall silver bell or jingle bell for the Christmas option and one large and one small silver bead for the non-Christmas onePDF of the Christmas version or the 'Drink me' version available on my Scribd pageSticky-back tape220 grit sandpaper Step 1: Print the PDF image onto white card stock. Step 2: Cut the middle section of the aluminum can into one large sheet. Step 3: Using your straight blade and craft knife, miter each of the corners of your aluminum. Step 4: Step 5: Place your straight edge along the long side of the image/print.
Jigglypuff Plushie
This is the Jigglypuff I made for the kids. I ended up using a virgin wool (cause it's the only pink color I had) and I don't like making 3D pieces in wool because it's inconsistent and a bit stretchy to work with. I'll have to remake one at some point in good acrylic yarn. I thought about making the microphone, but I was too tired ... I'll probably do that next time. As usual, if anything isn't right, or confusing, let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I can. So... here's the pattern for Jigglypuff :) Materials:WW yarn in a soft pink or light roseFiberfillScraps of black, white, blue and red feltSewing threads to match the felt colorsSewing needleYarn needleSize F hook NOTES:I tend to prefer to join my rounds when I work, but if you prefer to use continuous rounds and stitch markers, that's also good. Gauge isn't really important, as long as the hook, yarn and your tension result in a fairly tight stitch so that the stuffing doesn't show thru. Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) Make 4:
DIY Eco Friendly Packaging
February 26th, 2013 Have you ever needed to find a box to package up a gift in a hurry? Look no further than the simple plastic PET bottle you have in your kitchen. What you will need: - Plastic bottle - Cutting Mat - Craft Knife - Scissors - Marker Pen - A Plate - A pointy thing (I used a blunt sewing needle) Step One The first thing you need to do is cut the top and the bottom of the bottle off. Step Two Flatten the tube by pressing down on it with your hands and then flatten/crease one edge with your thumb. Then re-inforce the crease using the edge of your craft knife. Next do the other side. Step Three Place you flattened tube onto a cutting mat so that you know where the center is. Step Four Next you need to use the plate again to score a curved line at both ends of the tube on the front and the back – so you do this 4 times. Step Five Start forming your pillow box by creasing along the scored lines you’ve just drawn. Step Six
Horsea Plushie
The newest addition to the pokemon plushies is Horsea. This little guy was surprisingly difficult to figure out the head/body size ratio, and I'm not entirely certain I got it just right, but it's close enough that my girls think he's awesome LOL I know my pictures here aren't the best, but the weather outside is frightful ... and I waited four days to get better weather to get some pics outside, but it wasn't happening. SO... we ended up taking pictures inside again. I think though that they're at least good enough to help you when you're making the pattern. As always, if you find a problem in the pattern, or just get confused, you can post here, email me, or post on my FaceBook Fan Page. WW yarn in blue and cream G Hook Fiberfill Small pieces of felt in light red, white and black Sewing thread and needle to match felt Yarn Needle Gauge isn't terribly important, as long as your hook and yarn choices result in a tight even stitch so that the stuffing won't come through. Using cream: F/O.
Lugia Plushie
Ok y'all. Here he is. Lugia. I'm sorry that my pics are always crummy, but hey, I'm not a photographer LOL and I'm stuck with really old cameras that don't work unless they feel like it. This doll ain't for the faint of heart. It's better suited to experienced crocheters with a few serious dolls under their belts! He's larger than all the other pokemon I've made in the past and a little more difficult as well. I try to explain everything as well as I can in the pattern instructions, just take it one step at a time and I'll try to help you as much as I can... just post if you have any questions! Ok guys, here goes.... and good luck! WW yarn in white (at least a full skein) medium blue and dark blue G hook Fiberfill Embroidery thread Small pieces of felt in white and black Sewing thread to match colors Yarn Needle Heavy Gauge wire for wings (optional) Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches for that round or row. Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) WINGS (make2):
