Mystery Crochet Along

Posted on March 20, 2017August 10, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 1 Comment

I am so sorry. This was supposed to be up over a week ago, but I got sick, then my husband got sick. Basically, we have been a walking plague these past two weeks.

I reworked the Champagne Cork Ornaments for Easter.

Sheldon was finally tested and typed.

He even got new colors. I’m also working on more kits.

I don’t like having to buy a ton of yarn just to make one little thing. Kits are perfect so I have just enough. I simply can’t throw away unused yarn. I have little fiddly bits all over the place.

Cecilia has been reworked and will soon be available as a pattern.

She’s part of my cuddly aquarium series.

Oh Mystery Crochet A-long, Ha! This pattern has been posted, but it has not been tested. There were some great guesses on Facebook. I’m excited to try a lot of the suggestions, especially Bob Ross. He just would be a fun little plushie to sit on my desk and mellow me out.

Here’s how this will work. Today I’ll post the materials and on Friday I’ll post the first part of the pattern. It might be super obvious who we are making as soon as I tell the materials, but I hope this will be fun.

Materials

I love this yarn – Orange Neon
I love this yarn – White

Polliwag – Free Pattern

Posted on December 9, 2016August 4, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

Gryffindor refused to look at that the camera.

I added a few new hat colors inspired by Harry Potter Houses.

Reminder tomorrow is the last day to vote for Beebs, Clyde, Mango and Tango and Sparky and Frostina. Please help me out and vote.

But really you are probably here for the free pattern.

Polliwag was interesting. I learned how to make a 2 color spiral and a crochet I-cord.

Enjoy!

Free Pattern – Vulpix

Posted on November 29, 2016August 4, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 4 Comments

I know I made the Pokémon toys awhile ago. It is taking me awhile to get them typed.

Just got Vulpix typed. The picture isn’t fabulous, but she is ready for all who wish to crochet her. And hopefully in time for the holidays. I know I still need to get Polliwag and Jigglypuff typed.

Please keep in mind that this pattern has not been tested. If you have problems or questions, email me or comment and I will try to assist you. Follow the link vulpix for a .pdf of the pattern. Please let me know if there are any problems. Make sure you use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find your finished items.

I’ve entered Sparky, Frostina and Clyde in a Design Contest. It is all about Monsters and there are some super cute ones on here. Vote for me starting December 3. Remember you can only vote once and they usually have you vote for up to five. I may enter another one in tomorrow.

Free Pattern – Q-bert

Posted on November 10, 2016August 4, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 4 Comments

I’ve been busy. I was working feverishly on Nosferatu to get him done before Halloween.

Sadly, I had the prototype done but didn’t have it tested. He’s all tested now. I really like giving things creepy white eyes. I haven’t been able to find white plastic eyes, so I just spray paint a pair in the appropriate diameter using a paint with a satin finish. I think the satin finish gives them a decidedly flat and creepy look. The pattern for Nosferatu is up for sale on Ravely, Craftsy and Etsy. I even made a kit.

I like kits as I don’t have to find the yarn colors, notions, etc. I also don’t have to buy a whole skein when I only need a few yards of a color. Let’s be honest, I usually don’t mind buying an extra ball of yarn here and there, but I’m supposed to be cutting down my stash and only buying what I need. Hence a kit. If you want to make your very own creature of the night, you can pick up the kit on Etsy as well.

Now I titled this blog free pattern and I haven’t even started talking about any pattern. What is wrong with me?

It’s Q-bert. I love 80’s pop culture referenced and I totally remember watching this cartoon as a kid. I didn’t play the game that much. Isn’t he just adorable with his snout and big eyes. He does stand on his own, but it takes some manipulation to get the balance right. He tends to be the tiniest bit top heavy.

Before I keep rambling, here’s the Pattern. It hasn’t been tested so if there are problems, please let me know. If there is anything confusing, let me know that as well.

I’m working on a turkey I have affectionately named Chief Featherbrain.

His one foot just wants to hang out all wonky. He’s being tested now and hopefully, I’ll have his pattern up soon.

Then it’s on to Christmas Crochet. I’m trying to decide between Yukon Cornelius, The bumble, Hermie or Ralphie from A Christmas Story.

Oh and I also entered a contest with Clyde.

Rawr!

I’ll post more details later on how to vote. I’m trying to get up a few more monsters entered into the contest before the deadline.

Happy Crocheting.

Pikachu Hats for Cats – and sometimes dogs.

Posted on September 9, 2016September 9, 2016 by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

Pokémon Go fever has taken over, at least in our house. I got an odd request over Facebook. “Can you make a Pikachu Hat for a cat for a gift?” Not one to back down from a challenge, I happily accepted.

It looks a little silly without a cat in it, but it ended up working really well.

Here is Lucky.

She’s exceedingly unimpressed with this. I’m lucky she didn’t bite me.

My Chihuahua wanted to join in on the fun.

Then he kept trying to shake it off. Silly Weeble.

Would you like to make a hat for your cat or possibly a small dog? You are in luck.

I typed up the pattern. Make a hat, put it on a cat and send me a pic. Here’s a link to the pattern: pickachu-hat

Topsy Turvy – Free Pattern

Topsy flips over to create his friend Turvy. He was created to explore the idea of one creature flipping over to make a completely different stuffed friend. This little amigurumi is super cute no matter which way you turn him.

Sparky and Frostina – Free Pattern

Posted on September 4, 2015August 4, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy Leave a comment

I think these two might be my favorite. The pictures don’t show how sparkly she is. I also love their expressions and striped arms. Since they are hot and cold, Katy Perry music runs through my head when I look at them.

Look at all this sparkly hair.

I also love how long I made the arms.

Let me know if there are any problems or any of the instructions are unclear. They have not been tested. If you make one use #drunkenauntwendy when posting so I can find it.

Free Pattern – Beetsy the adorable beet

Posted on January 10, 2015July 28, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 2 Comments

I’ve been working in this very cold weather. What a better thing to do when it is ice cold than sit inside and make creatures. I got the idea for this while I was working on Mr. Sniffles. Meet Beetsy. She’s a quick little pattern that can be made in a variety of colors. As I was going for beet, I made her purple. If you make her, make sure to use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it.

Free Pattern – Mr. Sniffles

Posted on December 3, 2014July 28, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 10 Comments

It’s Mr. Sniffles. He’s the cold you want to catch. Mr. Sniffles is based on the microscopic view of the cold virus. At our house, we like to play Catch a Cold. (Hot potato with a cold virus). If you make him make sure to #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it and give you lots of love.

I have made other microbes; Mr. Sa – the MRSA super bug and Anthrax the cutest little biohazard along with Clem and Lydia Chlamydia, and Eggbert the Chicken Pox. Want to make Mr. Sniffles, but don’t have the supplies? There’s a kit for that.

Materials
Worsted Weight Yarn
I love this yarn – Blue Neon (100 yds)
18 mm Safety Eyes (2)
Size E crochet hook
Polyfiberfill
Large Eye Needle

Gauge: is not important for this project

Abbreviations
SC – Single Crochet
CH- Chain
FO – Fasten Off
SL ST – Slip Stitch
INC – Make two Single Crochet in Same Stitch
DEC – Single Crochet two stitches together

Note: Entire project is worked in the round. Use a stitch marker or a scrap piece of yarn to mark the beginning of each row. Then you don’t have to count every row. Do not join unless instructed to.

Parentheses indicate a repeat. Repeat the stitches in the parentheses for the number of times indicated.

The bracketed number [] is the number of stitches at the end of each row.

I spread my increases out so there isn’t a seam on the finished piece. If you do not like this method, you can do regular increases.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at drunkenauntwendy@gmail.com.
