Binky the Bubbly Monster

EDIT: Oh wow! You can copy and paste pictures, too? Well, I've taken this from my tumblr to share with everyone here on blogger ^^

I’m really excited to share this pattern with you because it was drawn up by my friend, Audie Reyes. This is also the first pattern I have created since I switched my craft blog over from blogger. With this pattern, I’ve decided to add pictures and make a Pink Binky with you all. Hope the new format helps ^^

F/O. Leave long tail. Stuff firmly.

How to Embroider Smile:

1. Find the outside corners of the stitches 2 rounds below each eye. These are marked in red.

2. Using your tapestry needle and black embroidery thread, thread through from the right red point to the left red point.

3. Pull thread through. Make sure to leave a long tail on the right. Poke needle back into the right point.

4. Bring needle through the outside of the stitch closest to the left point. Make sure that the needle goes only half way up the edge.

5. Pull the needle and thread through, and place the needle back into the left point.

6. Poke the needle any where in the back or side of your work. Tie a knot as close to your work as possible.

7. Cut the tail off making sure not to cut off the knot. Stuff into the work.

8. Thread the tail that is connected to the right point through the eye of your tapestry needle. Poke the needle on the outside of the stitch closest to the right point.

Repeat steps 6 and 7.

Now that the face is finished. You can sew the arms and feet on. I highly recommend pinning your pieces to the body before sewing them on. 

For my Binkys, I pinned the arms off to the sides of round 13. I pinned the feet off to the sides of round 20.

After the sewing is finished. Binky is complete!

Hope you enjoy the pattern. ^^ Feel free to leave me a comment and/or message me if you find something wrong with the pattern.

Please remember that you may not sell this pattern. Because Binky was not designed by me, you may not sell finished products made from this pattern. Thanks for your understanding.

New blog!

Hi everyone!

First, thank you so much for your continuous support. It means so much to me, and I love seeing your creations!

Just wanted to let you all know that I created a tumblr account. It is hanakoheals.tumblr.com

Many outside sources that have my patterns in their database direct everyone to this blog, so I will keep this blog up just in case. I will also continue to post basic patterns here, but you can find detailed patterns with pictures on my tumblr.

Again, thank you guys!

~Justine

Taiko Drum Master: Don

I know this is late, but I was trying to figure out where I put the post it with the notes for this pattern. Finally found it! I hope the instructions for the face is easy enough to follow!

Materials needed:

Size hook: F and D

Worsted weight yarn in white, orange, and light blue

Your choice of stuffing

Small bits of black and red felt

Black embroidery thread

Glue that dries clear

Needle Point Canvas

Scissors

Tapestry needle

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

** = repeat whatever is in between

IMPORTANT:

1.This pattern is made by joining each round. To do this slip stitch into the beginning stitch then ch 1. Continue pattern accordingly.

2. To change colors, I also recommend using the jogless color change technique. Here is a tutorial for it if you need help ^^.

Face/Body: With F Hook. Start with orange.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2: *inc* (12)

Rnd 3: * sc, inc* (18)

Rnd 4: *inc, 2 sc* (24)

Rnd 5: *3 sc, inc* (30)

Rnd 6 :*inc, 4 sc* (36)

Rnd 7: *5 sc, inc* (42)

Rnd 8: *inc, 6 sc* (48) Switch to white after this round.

Rnd 9: *7 sc, inc* (54)

Rnd 10: *inc, 8 sc* (60)

With the needle point canvas, cut out 2 circles the size of your work so far. This is to keep the face and back relatively flat.

Rnd 11: *BLO sc* (60)

Rnd 12: *sc* (60) Switch to light blue after this round.

Rnd 13-31: *sc* (60) Switch to white at the end of round 31

Rnd 32: *sc* (60)

F/O and weave in tail. Place one of the circles you made from the needle point canvas inside the body against the face. Stuff.

Bottom: With F hook. In white.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)

Rnd 2: *inc* (12)

Rnd 3: * sc, inc* (18)

Rnd 4: *inc, 2 sc* (24)

Rnd 5: *3 sc, inc* (30)

Rnd 6 :*inc, 4 sc* (36)

Rnd 7: *5 sc, inc* (42)

Rnd 8: *inc, 6 sc* (48)

Rnd 9: *7 sc, inc* (54)

Rnd 10: *inc, 8 sc* (60)

F/O and leave long tail to sew to body.

With the right side out, line the stitches of the bottom to the open side of the body. Begin to sew the pieces together. Make sure you make the needle go through both loops of the body and the back loops only of the bottom.

When your work is about half way closed, slip the other needle point canvas circle inside and against the bottom piece. Finish sewing the work together making sure to add more stuffing if needed.

"Feet": Make 4 With D hook and white yarn.

Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6)

Rnd 2: *inc* (12)

Rnd 3-4: *sc* (12) Stuff at the end of round 4.

Rnd 5: *dec* (6)

F/O. Use a tapestry needle to thread the tail through the last round to close the hole.

"Legs": Make 4. With D hook and white yarn.

Ch 5. Make sure the tail is long to you can sew this end to your work.

Row1: sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc across (4)

Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc across (4)

Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc across (4)

Row 4: ch 1, turn, sc across (4)

F/O leaving long tail. Roll the piece into a tube, and stitch the tube together using the tail.

Face Details:

1. Eyes: These are made from black felt. They are circles with a diameter of 4 rounds of the face.

2. Mouth: This is made from red felt. Cut out a "V" shape that is 8 rounds of the face tall. Curve off the point of the "V". Fold The mouth together length wise and cut a half circle on the straight side.

3. Glue the mouth to the face making sure that the tip of the top of the mouth is touching the center of the 1st round. Glue the eyes on both sides of the face.

4. You can embroider the black outline of the mouth, but I just glued black embroidery thread around the border and cut out a thin "m" shape with black felt for the grin.

Attachment:

1. Using one tail, sew each tube to a ball. Use the other tail to sew the legs to the white yarn on the sides of the body. Weave in ends.

And you're done. Hope you enjoy ^^

And now for my 5 random facts.

5. I really wish I knew how to draw. I think I'd be able to create cuter amigurumi if I had the skill!

Pokeball Set

I've been hesitant to post these patterns because when I make them over again, I've always had to adjust the pattern. For example, the stripes on the great ball usually have to be changed in length depending on how much the ball is stuffed. The love ball's heart is also not crocheted but cut out of felt and back stitched together.

I decided to post these patterns up to give you a general idea of how they were made, but you might have to adjust parts of the pattern.

Materials: (For all balls)

Size hook: G and D

Worsted weight yarn in red, white, black, blue, purple, light pink, and dark pink

Your choice of stuffing

Small bits of white and pink felt

White and pink embroidery thread

Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:
sc= single crochet
inc= increase ( 2 single crochets in 1 stitch)
dec= decrease ( single crochet 2 stiches together)

**= anything in between is repeated.

(number)= indicates the amount of stitches at the end of each round

F/O= finish off

------------------------

-Attach the pink heart to the white heart whichever way you choose. I sewed them together using a back stitch.

-Embroider a white line down the center of the hearts with white yarn or embroidery thread.

-Attach heart to the love ball whichever way you choose. I glued mine on with a hot glue gun. Make sure the tip of the heart is touching the center black stripe.

-Sew the button to the center of the love ball and on top of the heart's tip.

That's it! I hope these guide lines help you. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Paopu Fruit Pattern

I really wanted to make a small Paopu fruit, but couldn't find a pattern for one. I know that you can just make one using a star and leaf pattern, but why not just make an official pattern to share with everyone anyway? Here's my rendition of a Paopu fruit. The one I made is pretty small with the star being about 3 1/2 inches tall. As always, you can change the size by changing the sizes of both hook and yarn weight.

Materials:

G Hook (any size you prefer really)

Worsted Weight yarn in yellow and green

Fiberfill

Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:

ch= chain

sc= single crochet

hdc= half double crochet

dc= double crochet

sl st= slip stitch

inc= increase (2 single crochets in 1 stitch)

dec= UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED decrease ( single crochet 2 stitches together)

[...] = repeat anything in between

F/O= finish off

Number of stitches is indicated in parentheses at the end of each round.

STAR: Make 2 in yellow

Rnd 1: 5 sc in magic ring or however you like to start. (5)

Rnd 2: [inc] (10)

Rnd 3: [sc, inc] (15)

Rnd 4: [ 2 sc, inc] (20)

Rnd 5: [3 sc, inc] (25)

Rnd 6: [4 sc, inc] (30)

1st Point: With yellow

Row 1: 6 sc in next 6 stitches, turn (6) I recommend placing a stitch marker in the next unworked stitch to keep you place.

Row 2: 2 sc, dec, 2 sc. turn (5)

Row 3: 2 sc, skip a stitch, 2 sc, turn (4)

Row 4: sc, dec, sc, turn (3)

Row 5: Decrease over all 3 stitches (Instead of pulling up 2 loops like a regular decrease, pull up 3 loops.) (1)

F/O, weave in ends.

2nd-5th point: With yellow

-Join yarn to the next unworked sc with a slip stitch.

Row 1: sc in same stitch as joining, 5 sc across, turn (6)

Row 2-5: Repeat rows 2-5 of the 1st point. DO NOT finish off after the 5th point.

Star completion:

Step 1: Evenly work 5 sc down the left side of the 5th point. You will be working in this direction to the finish.

Step 2: Evenly work 5 sc up the side of the next point.

Step 3: Work 3 sc into the tip of the point (Meaning the stitch made in Row 5 of the points.)

Repeat steps 1-3 until the beginning of the star, slip stitch and F/O

LEAF: With green

Ch 10 (I recommend making the initial tail long so you can use it to sew on to the fruit later.)

Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc, 4 dc, hdc, sc, sl st (9)

Row 2: ch 1, turn, sl st, sc, hdc, 4dc, hdc, sc (9)

F/O. Weave in tail

Attachment:

-Line the stars up evenly with the right side facing outward. Sew them together in the same color yarn by whip stitching through both stars' front and back loops. Begin to add stuffing into the corners as you finish sewing around them, and finish stuffing before closing.

- Sew leaf to the top of one point.

That's it! Feel free to ask questions if you need help!
