Servbot pattern



Disclaimer: Servbot is property of capcom. Only the pattern for this amigurumi is mine.

Ok, I've decided to finally share my servbot pattern. Be warned, there are many tiny pieces that you must sew together. I tried to simplify it so that there would not be as much sewing, but I really do think it came out best the first way I made it. I am also fairly new to designing my own patterns, so this is made with many simple shapes.

This pattern will be for version 1. This means that the neck will be slightly bumpy, but the head will be better proportioned. I will try to be as clear as possible with the pattern, but please feel free to send me a message if something seems confusing. If this is all okay with you, here is the pattern. ^_^

Materials needed:
Worsted weight yarn in gray, yellow, blue, and light blue.
Hooks G and E
Bits of felt in white, black, yellow, and red
Your choice of stuffing
Yarn Needle
Hot Glue Gun

Abbreviations:
ch: chain
sc= single crochet
inc= increase (2 single crochets in 1 stitch)
dec= decrease ( single crochet 2 stitches together)
BLO= back loops only
FLO= front loops only
** = repeat whatever is in between

This will be broken down into parts to help keep track of tiny pieces.

------
Using yellow felt, cut yellow circles and with hot glue gun, sew to body. Use picture for reference.

Use rest of felt to customize the face. For a starting point, my eyes are a little over 5 rows of the head in diameter.


I used face references from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne to create my face. Here are some ideas from the game (unused)


Hope you enjoy this pattern, and once again feel free to send me a message for help!

Please do not sell this pattern or products made from this pattern. Thank you!

Servbot: Dude, chill out!

I've finally made another design!

Servbot from Megaman:


The one on the right is my second version. Nothing has changed but the bottom of his head. I'm still debating whether or not I want to offer this as a free pattern. I have a very busy summer and no job to pay for it all lol. I will EVENTUALLY post it I suppose. Just not any time soon.
