Wilt Michaels

Materials
-WW yarn in red, white, blue, black, and cream(I used RedHeart Super Saver in Cherry Red, White, Blue, Black, and Aran)

-Black fabric paint
-1 6mm saftey eye
-1 red pipe cleaner
-Small dowel cut to 4 inches long
-G hook
-Hot glue gun and glue sticks


Head:
Okay, before I go on to the pattern, let me just say that I'm sorry it's kinda, well, tricky.  Now, moving on!

Starting with "Head Spikes"

"Stitched" spikes: make 2 with red

Rnd 1) 6sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2) (inc, sc 2) repeat around (8)

Rnd 3) (inc, sc 3) repeat around (10)

Rnd 4) (inc, sc 4) repeat around (12)

Rnd 5) (inc, sc 5) repeat around (14)  Change to black

Rnd 6) (inc, sc 6) repeat around (16)  Change to red

Rnd 7) (inc, sc 7) repeat around (18)

Rnd 8) (inc, sc 8) repeat around (20)

Rnd 9) sc even (20)  F/O, leaving a long tail on one, and a tail just a wee bit longer than your hook on the other.

Non-Stitched Spikes: make 4 with red

Rnd 1-9: Repeat rnds 1-9 of the stitched spikes, leaving out the colour change.

F/O two of the spikes with a long tail, one with a tail just a wee bit longer than your hook, and DO NOT F/O you last Spike.

Head: Main Part!

Rnd 10) sc into the first 10 sc of that last spike.  Take the "stitched" spike that has the shorter tail and sc into the first 10 sc of it.  Now take the non-stitched spike that has the shorter tail and sc in all 20 sc.  Sc in the remaining sc of the other two spikes. (60)

Rnd 11) Sc even (60) Now, using the tails from your joined in spikes, sew the gaps in rnd 10 shut.  Go ahead and stuff the spikes if you want to do so now.

Rnd 12-15) Sc even (60)

Rnd 16) (dec, sc 8) repeat around (54)

Rnd 17-21) Sc even (54)

Rnd 22) (dec, sc 7) repeat around (48)

Rnd 23-32) Sc even (48)

Rnd 33) (inc, sc 7) repeat around (54)

Rnd 34-38) Sc even (54)

Rnd 39) (inc, sc 8) repeat around (60)

Rnd 40-45) Sc even (60)  F/O.  Stuff head modertly.  You want Wilt to have a 3D head, but don't stuff too much, as you want his head to be kinda-sorta flat.  Stuff the other spikes in the same way, then sew them to the head.  You want the "stitched" spike to be at the top of his head, then put the other two under that.  Go ahead and weave in the ends on that head!

Right eye(the one with the straight stalk): starting with white

Rnd 1) 6 sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2) inc around (12)

Rnd 3) inc around (24)

Rnd 4-7) sc even (24)

Rnd 8) dec around (12) start stuffing firmly.

Rnd 9) dec around (6) Change to red, finish stuffing eye.

Rnd 10-20) sc even(6)

F/O with a long tail.  Insert your dowel rod into the eye stalk.  You'll see that your dowel is a about an inch longer than your eye stalk.  That's okay!  You want it to be, as what doesn't fit in the eye ball and eye stalk is to be inserted into the head.  Place the eye to the right side of the center-top of head.  Sew in place.

Eye Lid for Right eye: with red

Rnd 1-4) Repeat rnds 1-4 of Right eye.

F/O with a long tail, sew to back of eye.

Left eye(the zig-zaggy one): starting with white

Rnd 1) 6 sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2) inc around (12)

Rnd 3-4) sc even (12)

Rnd 5) dec around (6) change to red, place saftey eye between rnds 2 and 3, stuff eye ball.

Rnd 6-25) sc even (6)

F/O with a long tail.  Fold your pipe cleaner in half, twist it together gently, and insert it in the same way as the dowel rod for the right eye.  Place this eye to the left side of the center top of head and sew in place.  Bend to look like Wilt's zig-zaggy eye.

Eyelid for Left eye: with red

Rnd 1-3) repeat rnds 1-3 of Left eye

F/O with long tail, sew to back of eye.

Putting the foot together!

Step 1) Using the first long tail from the bottom of the foot, sew one side of the shoe to the sole, going from row 1-30 of both, using double whipstitch(just double up your whipstitches).  Repeat on other side of foot with the other long tail, going from row 30-1, stuffing the shoe/foot as you go.

Step 2) Using the black tails from the tops of the shoes, sew the 3 black stitches on each side to the sides of rows 31-32.

Step 3) Still using those tails, sew the white part to the black part on each side.  Now weave in all those ends, stuff  the top of Wilt's high top, and move on to the next part!

Legs

Rnd 1) With white, join onto the top of the shoe at some point in the back with a single crochet.  Working evenly, sc 11 more times around the top of the shoe. (12)

Rnd 2-30) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) change to blue.

Rnd 31-32) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) F/O blue, change back to white.

Rnd 33-36) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) change to red.

Rnd 37-38) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) change back to white.

Rnd 39-40) sc even, stuffing as you go (12) F/O white, change back to red.

Rnd 41-100) sc even, stuffing as you go (12)

F/O with long tail.  Sew to bottom of body, with inside of leg at about rnd 2 of body.

Detail Work

Step 1) Using the pics as reference, add the stitch detail to Wilt's "stitched" head spikes, and his left arm over top of the rnd of black.

Step 2) Start heating up your hot glue gun, and cut out you felt peices!  You'll need a black oval for Wilt's Right eye, a white number 1, a slightly smaller blue number 1, a big white smile, and 4 small white ovals for Wilt's shoes.

Step 3) Glue the blue number 1 to the white number 1, then glue that to the front of Wilt's body.  Alterntly, you can just paint the smaller blue number 1 onto the white number 1, then glue that onto Wilt in the same way once it has dryed.

Step 4) Glue the black oval to Wilt's Right eye to give him a puple/iris(idk if it's one or the other).

Step 5) Glue on Wilts mouth, then paint the three "teeth lines" onto it with the black fabric paint once the glue has had time to cool and dry.

Step 6) With either stitching or black fabric paint, add in the shoe lace and toe details to the shoes, then glue the little white ovals to Wilt's high tops, using the pics as reference for placement.

And that's it!  Once all the paint has dryed, and all the glue has cooled, you'll have yourself your very own Wilt!

As a cool side note, you can made the version of Wilt seen in the flashbacks from "Good Wilt Hunting" by making 6 of the non-stitched head spikes, two of the Right Eye, two Wrist Bands, and making a second arm, as follows below:

Alternet Left Arm: with red

Thumb: with red

Rnd 1) 6sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2) inc around (12)

Rnd 3-4) sc even (12)  Stuff fingertip lightly

Rnd 2) inc around (12)

F/O the first two in the same way as the thumb, DO NOT F/O the last one.

Hand:

Rnd 17) sc in first 3 sc of last finger made, sc in first 3 sc of next finger, sc in all 6 sc of third finger, sc in remaining 3 sc of the other two fingers (18)

Rnd 21) sc in the first sc of hand, sc in all 6 sc of thumb, sc in last 17 sc of hand (24)

Rnd 22) (dec, sc 2) repeat around (18)  Using your F/O point, sew shut the gap made in rnd 21.  Start stuffing hand lightly.

Rnd 25) sc even (12)

Rnd 26) (dec, sc 4) repeat around (10)

Blooregard Q Kazoo

Hi guys!  I have a pattern for all you lovely pumpkins!  Bloo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.  I decided to make this little guy to be part of my Halloween costume, and thought I should share the pattern with all of you.  So I'm gonna stop the yacking and get to the pattern!

Blooregard Q Kazoo

Rnd 2: Inc in each sc around (12)

Rnd 3: (inc, sc) repeat around (18)

F/O w/a tail roughly the length of your crochet hook.  Sew your eyes on now, top part lined up with rnd 13, if you wish to do so at this point.  Make sure the eyes touch just a wee bit!  I sew them on at this point, as it's very easy to just tuck the ends into the plush.  Now's also a good time to give you Bloo a mouth, then start stuffing him!

Bottom: w/blue

Rnds 1-11: Repeat rnds 1-11 of the body.  F/O w/a long tail for sewing.  Using that tail, sew the bottom to the last rnd of Head/Body, adding any last stuffing needed before sewing completely shut.

And that's it!  You now have a plushie of Bloo!

Row 22:  Sc in each sc across(4).  F/O, leaving a long tail for sewing.

To make the curl, hold the piece you just made where the "flat" part is flat on your plam.  Cut an extra lenght of Baby Pink and attach it between rnds 2 and 3.  Roll the bang up where it will meet with the open end, stitching the piece so it will be held in place as you go.

Tail

With hook and Baby Pink;

Rnd 1:  6sc in magic ring(6)

Rnd 2: inc each sc around(12)

Rnd 3: (Sc, inc) repeat around (18)

Rnd 4 - 45: Sc even, stuffing lightly as you go(18).  F/O, leaving a long tail for sewing.  Curl in the same way you curled the bangs, but you don't have to worry about the flat part this time.

Wings: make 2

With hook and Baby Pink;

Part A:

Rnd 1:  6 sc in Magic Ring (6)

Rnd 2:  (sc 2, inc) repeat around (8)

Rnd 3:  (sc 3, inc) repeat around (10)

Rnd 4:  (sc 4, inc) repeat around (12)

Rnd 5 - 6: sc even (12) F/O, leaving a tail a little longer then your hook.

Part B:

Rnd 1 - 6:  Repeat rnds 1 - 6 of part a, DO NOT F/O.

Rnd 7:  sc all the way around part a, then all the way around part b (24)

Rnd 8: (sc 4, dec) repeat around (20)

Rnd 9: (sc 3, dec) repeat around (16)

Rnd 10: (sc 2, dec) repeat around (12)

Rnd 11: sc even (12) F/O, leaving a long tail for sewing.  Wings are not stuffed.  Use the tail from part a to sew up the gap between the two parts.

Putting it all together

I'm crap at explaing how to put an ami together.  The best I can tell you is look off the pictures, and pin things in place before you start stitching.  The wings can be made with the felt that is a darker pink than your yarn, if you don't feel like crocheting them.  Cut out little "blush marks" from the same slightly darker pink felt.  I hot glued all the felt features.

2DS Carrying Case

I saw that I hadn't posted this yet, so here's this!  Just a quick note before we move on, I'll be using the pics for the 3DS XL case for the putting things together part, as I goofed and didn't get pictures of the one I made for my brother.  Anyway, on to the pattern!


2DS Carrying Case

Materials:
WW yarn in two colors
H hook
Carabiner


Back + Flap:  with 1st color, ch26
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across, ch 1, turn(25).
Row 2-32: Sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn(25)

Row 34: Sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn(23)
Row 35: Repeat Row 33(21)
Row 36: Repeat Row 34(21)
Row 37: Repeat Row 33(19)
Row 38: Repeat Row 34(19)
Row 39: Repeat Row 33(17)
Row 40: Repeat Row 34(17)
Row 41: Repeat Row 33(15)
Row 42: Repeat Row 34(15)  F/O, set aside for now.


Front: with 1st color, ch 26
Row 1-24: Repeat Rows 1-24 of Back + Flap, F/O, set aside for now.


Side: with 1st or 2nd color, ch 5
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and each across, ch 1, turn(4)
Row 2-73: Sc in each sc across, ch 1, turn(4) F/O if working with 1st color.  If working with 2nd color, ch 1, and move on to Border/Putting it Together

Border/Putting it together:
This is a bit confusing, but I have photos to help you understand what I'm saying here.
In 2nd color, Sc the side strip to the front, F/O.

Repeat with Back starting at row 24. Then sc up the side of the flap, placing 2 sc in 1st coner, sc in next 2, tie down piece (ch 16, slst back down ch, slst back into stitch you chained from), sc until there's 2 sts left, tie down piece, sc in next st, 2sc in last stitch, sc back down flap, slst into 1sc of joining back and side.  F/O.

Carabiner Strap: In 1st or 2nd color, ch 5
Row 1-10: Repeat Rows 1-10 of Side Strip.  F/O, set aside for now.
If using the 1st color, sc up both sides in 2nd color.  If using 2nd color, just sc around the piece.
Side note: Make two of these if you want belt loops, instead.  You may have to make this part longer if you wear a wide belt.

Now's a good time to go ahead and start weaving in ends.

In 2nd color, sc up both sides of Carabiner Strap, then sew onto one of the sides of the case.  If making belt loops, sew onto the back, neer the top and evenly spaced apart.

Last bit, I swear!

At two different points on the bottom trim of the front, join 2nd color, make a tie down piece, F/O, and weave in your ends.
Tada!  You're done!  Feel free to add velcro for extra closing power!

Unitato!

Man, I love the internet.  You find some of the coolest, funkiest stuff.  Like the Unitato!

Assembly.
I suck at this part of pattern writting.  The best I can tell you to do is look at the photos, and go from there for the sewing of everything together.
Once you have your Unitato all sewn together, give them all their face, ear, and horn details with either black fabric paint, or black sewing thread.  Cut out a tongue shape from your felt, and either sew or glue it to the Unitato's muzzle.

Tada!

Assembly:
Using the pics as a guide point, pin everything in place, then sew together.  As for the face and ear spots, go nuts!  Every Spinda has different face a ear spots, so have fun!  Have an in game Spinda you love the spots of?  Transfer that to your Spinda!  Saw one in the show you liked?  Transfer that to your Spinda!
After you've got your Spinda's face and ear spots sorted, you can either embroider the swirly bits, nose, and mouth, or do like I did and just paint them on with black fabric paint.
Now go have a dizzy good time with your Spinda!

Baby Cuttlefish

This pattern was drafted by request of my long time friend, Nick(he just started to crochet this year, and he's already gotten really good!  I'm so proud!).  He wanted to be able to make a key-chain sized cuttlefish, but was having some trouble drafting a pattern.  So, with out further babbling from me, here's the pattern!

Baby Cuttlefish
Materials
G hook
WW yarn in two colors
Stuffing
Tiny-ass Safety eyes, or fabric paint to make eyes


Main Body: (with first color)

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring, or ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6)
Rnd 2: 2sc in each sc around (12)
Rnd 3: sc in each sc around (12)
Rnd 4: *sc 1, 2sc in next sc* repeat around (18)
Rnd 5-7: sc in each sc around (18)
Rnd 8: sc in the next 5 sc, in back(out-facing) loops only for the next 8 sc, (slip stitch, ch 5, slip stitch back up ch [4], slip stitch back into starting stitch), sc in the last 5 sc. (10 sc and 8 "arms")
Rnd 9: *sc, dec over the next 2 sc* repeat around, treating the front(in-facing) loops as a normal sc. (12) Add the saftey eyes if you're using them, and start stuffing.
Rnd 10: *dec over the next 2 sc* repeat around (6).  Finish stuffing, F/O, sew shut, weave in your end.


Fins: (with second color, join to main body just under 1st arm)

Quick note, this is a little tricky, but completely do-able.
Row 1: Working up the side of the cuttlefish *5 sc in next stitch, slip stitch in next stitch*  Repeat *-* to other side of the cuttlefish(you should get 7 "scallops").

 Slip stitch to underside, behind 8th arm.  F/O and weave in your ends.  Paint on the face now if you're going that route.

Here's what your finished cuttlefish should look like(please pretend it has a face, I didn't have time to paint one on, lol).
