Beetlejuice – Free Pattern

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 1 Comment
Drunken Aunt Wendy Crocheted Beetlejuice pattern

He’s the ghost with the most. Did everyone else love this movie as much as I did? And the cartoon? Sometimes I sing Day-O out of nowhere. People might think I’m a bit nuts.

You can’t really tell from this picture, but I gave him glow in the dark teeth. At night he is spooky, but awesome.

If it is your first time visiting my site, join my mailing list for exclusive content, like Chucky. Also, make sure to look around and check out the other patterns. Many haven’t been tested, so let me know if there are problems. There are several other mini-monsters: Freddy, Samara, Jason, Twisty, and Billy.

Now, “Let’s turn on the juice and see what shakes loose.”

Use #drunkenauntwendy if you make him. I would love to see your work.

I’ve sketched 6 more. I’m working on Ghostface now. I had to rework him as he looked too much like Jack Skellington.

Free Pattern – Ms. Prickles – The Cactus

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 4 Comments
Drunken Aunt Wendy Crocheted Cactus

Meet Ms. Prickles. Isn’t she just the cutest.

I’m changing things up. I will post patterns here after I type them. They won’t be tested, so if there is an error, I am sorry. Please feel free to let me know.

While you can make this from the pattern below, some prefer the convenience of an ad-free .pdf. You can get that here for a nominal fee.  Want to make Ms. Prickles, but don’t want to buy all the yarn? There’s a kit for that. Finally, want a Ms. Prickles, but you don’t crochet? You can always order your very own plush.

There is another Cactus pattern if you want variety.

Gauge is not important for this project unless you have purchased a kit. Using the right size hook is important to ensure you have enough yarn.

Notes: Almost the 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.

Yakko – Free Pattern

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 6 Comments
Animaniac crochet

If you follow me on Facebook and/or Instagram, you know I have been creating Yakko this week.

This is the initial pattern with the smaller face piece. Hopefully when I make his brother, Wakko and the Warner sister, Dot, I’ll get it right. Then they can run around the Warner Movie Lot.FullSizeRender

He looks a lot cuter with his body.

I haven’t tested this pattern at all. Please let me know if there are any issues with the pattern or suggestions or recommendations.Yakko Pattern

Next week I will be crocheting items from other designers. I like to try other patterns so I can see different takes on things and different ways to make my crochet creatures come to life.

The next few free patterns will be from Animaniacs. Let me know what you think my series after that should be. I was thinking Princess Bride characters. Andre the Giant as Fezzik as a plush doll could be the cutest thing ever.

She-Hulk Free Pattern

She Hulk Crochet Pattern

I know it has been forever. I’ve been working on all sorts of new things. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you should. I am finally getting used to the platform and getting a lot better at it.

Now for the main event: SHE-HULK!

I love comic book ladies and feel they are underrepresented in the crochet world. IMG_2897

Look at that face. I used my eyelash technique, because it is my favorite. I may run out of doll lashes soon. Also her booty shorts are just the cutest.

The pattern is available below. I have not tested it. I think her boobs need to be bigger. When I test it, I will try that part. I also have not calculated the yardage for the different colors. If you run into problems or errors, please contact me or leave a comment. Make sure to use #drunkenauntwendy if you post on Instagram so I can find it.

Cut two sections of 3 doll lashes and glue to the underside of the eyes. Use a strong glue. I use E6000. Set aside to dry while you work on the head.

HEAD – in Limelight
The head is made by doing an oval increase. Sometimes it helps to mark where your increases are going to go with a spare piece of contrasting yarn. Just note that the first row is worked on both sides of the starting chain. The face is then embroidered on before you finish the head and stuff her.

Ch 8
Round 1: SC in 2nd Ch, SC in next 5 stitches. 3 SC in last stitch. Working in the unused loops from the chain, SC 5, 3 SC in last chain. [18].

Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.
Stuff the head and sew on the hair continuing to stuff as you go.

Cut several 8 inch pieces of jelly bean to attach as hair. You can make the hair longer if you wish.

Attach the hair by folding the piece of hair in half, pulling the loop through and securing the open ends. Attach in a line on the left side of her head for the part. Attach on the other side of the line. Attach throughout the head. Using a slicker brush, go through the hair causing the yarn to unravel. This can take upwards of an hour depending on how many strands of hair you use. Then using the needlefelting tool, style the hair.

Sparky and Frostina – Free Pattern

Free Crochet Monster Pattern

Free Crochet Monster Pattern

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.
