Dedenne pokemon

This is another addition to the multiple pokemon characters I have created. On the whole it is pretty simple but there are a few sections (such as the hands and feet) which are a bit fiddly.

Difficulty:

Medium

You will need:

• a 2.5mm crochet hook
• dk yarn in black, cream, golden-yellow, red and a scrap of white
• a darning needle (or similar)
• toy stuffing

For the body:
With gold make a magic loop with 6sc
Round 1: 2sc in each st (12sc)
Round 2: sc in the first st, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (18sc)
Round 3: sc in the first 2 sts, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (24sc)

Rounds 5 - 9: (5 rounds) sc in each st
Round 10: sc in the first 3 sts, sc2tog, rep to end (24sc)
Round 11: sc in the first 6 sts, sc2tog, rep to end (21sc)
Round 12: sc in the first 6 sts, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (24sc)
Round 13: sc in the first 3sts, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (30sc)
Round 14: sc in the first 4 sts, 2sc in the next st (36sc)
Rounds 15 - 19: sc in each st

Round 21: sc in the first 3 sts, sc2tog, rep to end (24sc)
Round 22: sc in the first 2 sts, sc2tog, rep to end (18sc)
Round 23: sc in the first st, sc2tog, rep to end (12sc)
Round 24: sc2tog to end (6sc)
Fasten off

For the tummy:
With cream make a magic loop with 3sc. ch1, turn
Row 1: 2sc in the first st, sc in the next st, 2sc in the last st. ch1, turn (5sc)
Row 2: 2sc in the first st, sc in the next 3 sts, 2sc in the last st. ch1, turn (7sc)
Row 3: 2sc in the first st, sc in the next 5 sts, 2sc in the last st. ch1, turn (9sc)
Rows 4 - 6: (3 rows) sc in each st. ch1, turn
Row 7: sc in the first 3 sts, sc3tog, sc in the last 3 sts
Fasten off

For the ears (make 2):
With black make a magic loop with 6sc
Round 1: 2sc in each st (12sc)
Round 2: sc in the first st, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (18sc)

Round 10: sc in the first 3 sts, sc2tog, rep to end (8sc)
Round 11: sc in the first 2 sts, sc2tog, rep to end (6sc)
Fasten off

For the inside ears (make 2):

Row 5: sc2tog, sc in the next st, sc2tog. ch1,turn (3sc)
Row 6: sc3tog
Fasten off

For the feet (make 2):
Use yellowy-gold throughout
For the toes (make 3 for each foot):
Make a magic loop with 4sc.
Make a slip stitch onto the first stitch of this round and fasten off.
If you want your work to look very neat, and want to make life slightly easier for you when continuing with the foot, I would recommend fastening off using the needle-join method found here instead of using a slip stitch.
The next part is where it can get pretty fiddly. I have tried to include diagrams as well to help.
Round 1: First you need to join your yarn to one of the stitches on one of the toe pieces, and then crochet in this stitch and the next 2. You then need to crochet into one of the stitches on a different one of the toe pieces, and then crochet into one of the stitches on the final toe piece you have made, followed by the next 2 sts. After you have done this you will need to crochet into the opposite stitch on the toe piece you have only crocheted into ones, and then make a slip stitch into the first stitch you crocheted on this round.

The numbers show the order that each stitch should be crocheted into.
At the end you should them make a slip stitch into 1

Rounds 2-3: sc in each st around (8sc)

Round 4: sc in the first st, sc3tog, sc in the next st, sc3tog (4sc)

Fasten off

For the hands (make 2):
These use the same pattern as the feets but stop at round 2

Sew the hands and feet to the body


For the tail:
With black ch4
Round 1: sc in the first chain and every following chain (4sc)
Rounds 2 - 24: (23 rounds) sc in each st
Fasten off

For the end of the tail (make 2):
Make a magic loop with 5sc
Round 1: (ch2, hdc in the same stitch, ch2, slip stitch in the same stitch, slip the next st) 4 times, ch2, dc in the same stitch, slip stitch in the same stitch
Fasten off

Sew these two pieces together and stuff them slightly. Then sew them onto the end of the tail, and sew the tail to the body.

For the eyes:
With black make a magic loop with 6sc, join with a slip stitch to the first st.
Fasten off

Sew the eyes on to the face then use white yarn to add detail to them.

For the cheeks (make 2):
With red make a magic loop with 6sc.
Join with a stip stitch to the first stitch.
Fasten off

Sew these onto the face

For the lower whiskers (make 2)
Chain 9
Fasten off

For the upper whiskers (make 2):
Chain 10
Fasten off

Chain 3
Fasten off

Chain 4
Fasten off

Sew the centre of the 4 chain onto the 10 chain, about 0.5cm from the edge
Then sew the 3 chain onto the 10 chain, slightly further from the edge than the 4 chain.
Sew them onto the face.



Finally use black yarn to embroider the remaining facial features on.

Little hedgehog (multicoloured)

This is another creation in my Little Animals series (a full list can be found here). However, unlike all of the other animals I've made, this hedgehog is unlikely to fit many of the clothes designed for these animals due to the spines on its back

Difficulty:

Easy

You will need:

For the spines:
cut around 400 strips of yarn approximately 15 cm (6 inches) long  (This is the length I made them but you can make them longer or shorter to achieve your desired effect, as well as adding more or fewer)
Attach them to the back of your hedgehog by folding them in half and using a crochet hook to pull the folded end through your crochet, before threading the opposite end through the loop this makes, as shown below.

Finally use the black yarn to embroider two eyes and a nose onto your hedgehog.

Police bear

This UK police outfit is designed to fit any of my Little Animals (a full round-up can be found here)
It is possible that this jacket will not fit your little bear entirely, due to slight variations in tension and yarn weights of different brands in which case you may need to leave the jacket open. If you would like me to make a pattern for a slightly bigger jacket to allow it to fasten properly, please comment below or on my ravelry page and I will do it as soon as possible.  

Difficulty:

easy - medium

You will need:

• an animal to put the outfit on; the pattern for the bear can be found here. (You may want to refrain from adding the arms until you've made the jacket, so that you can be sure that they are in exactly the right place)
• a 2mm crochet hook
• a 1.5mm crochet hook
• 4ply yarn in black, white and silvery-grey
• a darning needle to sew up
• Two or three small snap fasteners (I used 6mm ones)(optional)

For the vest:

with a 2mm crochet hook and black 4ply yarn fsc 24

Row 1: sc in first 12 sts, sc2tog, sc in the last 10 sts. ch1, turn (23sc)

Row 2: sc in the first 9 sts, sc2tog, sc im the last 11 sts. ch1, turn (21sc)

Rows 3 - 5:(3 rows) sc in each st. ch1, turn

Row 6: sc in the first 6 sts. ch1, turn

Row 7: skip the first st, sc in the last 5 sts to end (5sc)

Row 8: slip the first 2 sts, sc in the next 3sts to end (3sc)

Row 9: sc in the first st, sc2tog (2sc)

Rows 10 - 11:(2 rows) sc in each st

Fasten off

Rejoin yarn to the opposite side of the long rectangular bit, to the 5th st from the end (as shown below)

Row 6: sc in the same st and the remaining 4 sts of the row. ch1, turn

Row 7: skip the first st, sc in the next 4sts. ch1, turn (4sc)

Row 8: sc in the next 3sts. ch1, turn (3sc)

Row 9: sc2tog, sc in the next st. ch1, turn (2sc)

Rows 10 - 11:(2 rows) sc in each st

Fasten off

next rejoin yarn to the 3rd st after this section

Rows 6 - 7:(2 rows)sc in this st and the next 5 sts (6sc)
Rows 8 - 9:(2 rows) sc in the first 2sts
Fasten off
rejoin yarn to the 3rd st after this section.

Row 8: sc in this st and the next st. ch1, turn.
Row 9 : sc in each of these 2 sts
Fasten off


After you've done this sew the upper sections of the jacket together to form armholes


Next sew two or three small snap fasteners onto the front of the jacket to keep it closed. This is optional and if your bear is slightly too large it may not be possible to do this.

Use white thread to sew checks onto the front sections of each arm strap.

For the hat:

with a 2mm crochet hook and black 4ply yarn make a magic loop with 6sc
Round 1: 2sc in each st (12sc)

Round 2: sc in the first st, 2sc in the next st, rep to end (18sc)

Rounds 3 - 7: (5 rounds) sc in each st

Round 8: (sc in the front loop of each st)

Round 9: (sc in the first 2 sts; 2sc in the next st) 5 times, dc, tc, dc, sc in the same st, slip the next st.
Fasten off

For the front bit:

with a 1.5 mm crochet hook and silver 4ply yarn make a magic loop with 8sc

Round 1: 2sc in each st (16sc)

Round 2: (slip 1, ch1, dc, ch1) rep 7 times, slip the next st

With silver fsc3

ch7, slip the middle fsc stitch, slip the next st, ch5, slip the 3rd chain up from the middle stitch, ch2, slip the same st

Fasten off

The second bit you make should look sort of like this

with black 4ply yarn ch12 tightly, then sew then ends together and sew it into the centre of the star shaped silver piece.

Finally sew both silver pieces onto he front of the hat, with the crown shaped piece situated directly above the star shaped piece.

the monkey I've made as a guide
regarding how to do the face

sew the ears to the sides of the head, and then embroider the facial features onto the monkey using black yarn.

If you want to use a pipecleaner to strengthen your tail, make the tail exactly as below, and then feed a brown pipe-cleaner in afterwards.

If you plan to use wire, however, you will need to feed the wire around in a loop as you crochet, crocheting over it to hide it, as shown below.
Adding something to strengthen your tail will enable it to hold its shape, but this isn't necessary, and I wouldn't advise to do this if you are planning to give this toy to a young child or baby

 

For the tail:

woth dark brown yarn make a magic loop with 6sc

Rounds 1 - 22: (22 rounds) sc in each st (6sc)

Fasten off

Finally sew the tail to the back of the monkey

little devil

 

This follows the same basic pattern as all of my other Little Animals, with a few extra bits added on, meaning that it should fit into all of the clothes I've made for that range (patterns can be found here)

You will need:

• a 2.5mm crochet hook

Round 21: sc in the first 4 sts, ch1, make a slip stitch in the 10th st around from the base of the chain

Round 22: sc in the next 4 sts, then sc in the chain stitch. These four stitches form a new round that will become one of the spikes of the trident. (5sc)
Rounds 23 - 24: sc in each of these 5 sts around (5sc)
Round 25: sc2tog, sc in the next st, 2sctog (3sc)
Fasten off
 
Rejoin yarn to the 3rd stitch from the base of this spike.

Round 21 :sc in the same st and the next 4 sts, ch1,

Rounds 23 - 24: sc in each st (5sc)
Round 25: sc2tog, sc in the next st, sc2tog (3sc)
Fasten off
 
You will now have 2 spikes with a few stitches in between: 3 at the back and 2 at the front.
Rejoin the yarn to the first front stitch.

Round 21: sc in this st and the next st, then sc into each of the three back stitches in turn and make a slip stitch in the front stitch (the one you crocheted into first). This should leave you with a loop of 5 sts in between the 2 spikes you have already made
Rounds 22 - 24: sc in each of these 5 sts (5sc)
Round 25: sc2tog, sc in the next st, sc2tog (3sc)
Fasten off
 
To make up:
1. stuff the legs and sew them to the base of the body
2. stuff the hands of the arms and sew them to the sides of the body just underneath the head
3. sew the tail to the back of the body
4. sedw the ears to the sides of the face, then sew the horns on top of the head in between them and the nose to the middle of the face
5. use black yarn to embroider eyes and a mouth onto your devil
6. Sew up the tops of the spikes on the trident, as well as the small gaps in between the base of each spike. Next carefully stitch this to the hand of the devil. I used a regular needle and sewing thread for this to make it less visible, but this isn't necessary, and you can use left-over yarn if you prefer.
