Crochet Babadook Pattern

 the babadook picture

Next in my series of mini movie monsters we have The Babadook from the movie of the same name. Your finished little monster will be about 5″ from top of his hat to the end of his outfit.

I find him super cute and not creepy at all. Again not tested, so let me know if you have problems. Coming soon we should have Jason, Michael Myers, Pennywise and Twisty. At least that is my 1st 6. I’ve sketched 6 more. I’m working on Ghostface now. I had to rework him as he looked too much like Jack Skellington.

Materials


 I love this yarn Black

I love this yarn in Antique White

9 mm safety eyes
Size E crochet hook

Large eye blunt needle

Polyfiberfill

Abbreviations

 

SC – Single Crochet

Ch- Chain
INC – SC 2 stitches into same stitch

DEC – SC two stitches together
BLO – Back loops only

FLO – Front Loops only

Gauge – Gauge is not important for this project, but if you are making it from the kit, you should use the right size needle to ensure you don’t run out of yarn.

 

Notes:

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.

 

Crochet section is worked in partly 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.

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.

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.

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].

Embroider nose in limelight with three long straight stitches coming out of a center point to create a triangle.

Using black, embroider eyebrows using a backstich.

Make sure you tie all the tails off inside the head to prevent unraveling later.

HAIR – in Jelly Bean

Round 6: [6 SC, (2 SC, INC, 2 SC) 3 times] repeat bracket one more time [48].

Rounds 7-8: SC in each stitch for 2 rows [48 stitches per row].
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.

Free Pattern – Mr. Sniffles

Posted on by drunkenauntwendy 10 Comments
Free crochet cold virus pattern

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.

That full time job of mine really gets in the way of my crafting. It keeps me in yarn, that’s probably why I stay.

This pattern was up at my shop, but it hasn’t been purchased yet so I decided to take it down. It’s one of my favorites so enjoy.

BTW if you can’t find a 30mm eye you can embroider one on instead.

Remember if you make your own, use #drunkenauntwendy so I can find it.
