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

---------------------------------------------------------
Pokeball:
This part is made by joining each round. To do this slip stitch into the beginning stitch then ch 1. Continue pattern accordingly.
Starting with red and G hook
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 7-9: *sc* (36) Switch to black in the last stitch of round 9.
Rnd 10: *sc* (36) Switch to white in last stitch.
Rnd 11-12: *sc* (36)
Rnd 13: *dec, 4 sc* (30) Begin to stuff at the end of this round and continue stuffing to the end.
Rnd 14: *3 sc, dec* (24)
Rnd 15: *dec, 2 sc* (18)
Rnd 16: * sc, dec* (12)

Rnd 2: *inc* (12)
F/O leaving tail.

Using white yarn-
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
F/O leaving tail.

Attachment:
-Using the white button's tail, sew the white button to the black button.

Master Ball:
Follow the pattern for the pokeball, but exchange the red yarn for purple.

"Spots" Worked in rounds with G hook. Do not join: Make 2
Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6)
Rnd 2: *inc* (12)
Rnd 3: *sc, inc* (18)
Rnd 4: *sc*
F/O leaving tail.

Attachment:
-Sew the spots on each side of the masterball. You may stuff lightly, but the extra round of sc should make the spots puff up on its own.
- I recommend embroidering on the "M" with white embroidery thread for more durability, but I cut out an "M" from white felt and glued it onto the the masterball between the 2 spots and above the button.
------------------------
Great Ball:
Follow the pattern for the pokeball, but exchange the red yarn for blue.

Stripes: In red with G hook. Make 2
Ch 15

Row 2: ch1, turn, sc across (14)

Attachment:
-Sew stripes to each side of the great ball with the button inbetween.
--------------------------------------------------
Love Ball:
Follow the pattern for the pokeball, but exchange the red yarn for purple. Do not sew the button to the ball yet.

Attachment/Heart:
-Cut out a heart using white felt, and cut a smaller heart using pink felt.
-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!

Clara the Spotted Jellyfish Amigurumi Pattern


I finally have a new pattern to share with you guys! This is Clara from Princess Jellyfish. I saw a plush of her at a convention a few weekends ago and really wanted to try making her. This is the result. She kind of looks more like an octopus than a jellyfish >.>

F/O. You may need to use the tail to thread through the last round and close the hole.

Ruffle: with darker pink
For this step you will be working into the head. Make sure the top of the head is facing towards you.
-Attach yarn with any of the front loops of round 24 with a slip stitch.
Rnd 1:
-This round will all be worked in the front loops of round 24.
-sc in same stitch as joining, sc around (40)

Spot 2: 6 mg in magic ring, sl st in 1st sc, F/O leaving tail.

For Head spots I also added:

*inc* (10)

Face Details:
-For the eyes I made ovals about 3 rows tall with the black felt.
-The white pupils are about a row tall.
- The mouth is 4 rows tall. I basically cut out a narrow red triangle and curved out the tip.
-Attach the eyes and mouth onto the face however you would like. Embroider on the eyelashes with black embroidery floss.

Attachment:
-Use tails to sew spots onto the bottom of each tentacle and on top of the head. (Optional: Stick residential copper electrical wiring into the body and a tentacle, and sew the leg on. This allows you to pose the amigurumi. Here is a good tutorial for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBBfZZj5cp8&feature=player_embedded#!)
-Use tails to sew tentacles to the bottom of the body. I did 3 tentacles in the front, 3 tentacles in the back, and 1 tentacle on each side.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

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

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!

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.
