Bride of Frankenstein – Free Pattern

Posted on October 27, 2017September 1, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 2 Comments

Halloween is almost upon us. I’m done with the mini-monsters and I will be moving on to Mythical Creatures for an online contest. I’m still typing up the patterns on a regular basis. I’ll try to keep to my current schedule and post them regularly.

I’m also teaching myself how to make soap. It was a project with the kids that I am expanding on.

The goat’s milk soap doesn’t take the colors as well. I’m not sure whether I like the goat’s milk vs. the glycerin that is clearer so the colors are brighter. I am also adding scents, but very lightly as I don’t like strong scents.

Here’s your Bride of Frankenstein Pattern. Again it hasn’t been tested. Join the mailing list for exclusive content. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you make it so I can find it and give you crochet love.

Materials
Worsted Weight Yarn
I love this yarn – Black
I love this yarn – Pistache
I love this yarn – White
Red floss
Black Floss
10.5 mm plastic safety eyes
Size E crochet hook
Polyfiberfill
Large Eye Needle

Abbreviations
SC – Single Crochet
HDC – Half Double Crochet
CH- Chain
FO – Fasten Off
SL ST – Slip Stitch
INC – Make two Single Crochet in Same Stitch
DEC – Single Crochet two stitches together
BLO – Back Loops Only

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.

Attach to head pursuant to the instructions below.

HEAD – in Pistache
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.

Beetlejuice – Free Pattern

Posted on October 17, 2017August 31, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 1 Comment

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.

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.

Previous .pdfs of older patterns will be removed.

Materials

I love this Yarn – Black (1 yd)
I love this Yarn – Limelight (12 yds)
I love this Yarn – Sungold (12 yds)
I love this yarn – Hot Rose (2 yds)
2 12 mm safety eyes

Large eye blunt needle

Abbreviations

Ch – Chain
SC – Single Crochet
INC – 2 Single Crochet in designated stitch
DEC – Single Crochet 2 stitches together
DC – Double Crochet
BLO – back loops only

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 July 28, 2017August 19, 2021 by drunkenauntwendy 6 Comments

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.

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.

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.
