Free Crochet Pattern – Brobee

Large Brobee Crochet

I took this pattern down from my shop so I though I would just offer it for free here.

I’d love photos of any completed projects. Forewarning, this guy is enormous. The finished plush doll is over 2 feet tall. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you post on Instagram. I would love to see them.

Assembly

 

Pin face and horns in place before attaching to ensure proper placement. I like to sew the pupils on to the eyes before I sew the eyes onto the body.

This is easier if the head is stuffed.

Stuff Body, Sew legs to bottom feet facing forward. The unused leg stitches with form a center seam. Sew up the seam between the legs.

Stuff the arms up to the bottom of the last hunter green band. Fold open edges together and sew to the sides of the body two rows down from beginning of top hunter green band

Have fun, take him everywhere because he is huge.
