This is a side project I finished while I was working on my big 3-part project, which hopefully I will finish in the next couple of months. It was actually easier than I expected; the trickest part wasn't crocheting at all, but getting the eyes right. I ended up making it a closed eye version after various failed attempts. I think she looks cute this way, but if anyone makes a good eye version, I'd love to see it. She's posable, and can either sit or stand. I hope you like her, and as always, if there are questions, let me know.
Update Hair instructions added, sorry for the confusion.

Final Assembly and Details
Sew all hair to the top of head, stuffing if desired. Sew legs and head to body ( wrapped some spare yarn around where the head and body meet to form a neck, but this is optional). Position belly band between legs and sew onto body. Sew tail to butt. With felt, cut out nose and mouth as shown or as desired. For closed eyes, embroider two curved lines with black thread.

I have a quick question; Where's the pattern to make the tail? You might think I'm dense for asking, but it says tail, has a picture of it, then goes straight to final assembly.
ReplyDeleteoh, thanks for telling me, I'll fix it as soon as I get the chance ::cough::find where I put the pattern::cough::
ReplyDeleteWe didn't see the pattern to make the hair. Would you please add or tell me where I missed it?
ReplyDeleteOh, dear, I'll add it as soon as possible (see previous reply, lol)
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming a G hook?
ReplyDeleteI used one yes, but it depends on what type of yarn and how tightly you crochet; this one was a regular worsted weight, so I did use a G hook, but for example if I was using Caron Simply Soft, I'd automatically use an F. so generally, yes, a G hook, but adjust according to your needs, too. gauge isn't terribly important for these, but you don't want your stuffing sticking out either.
ReplyDeleteHow did you end the body? Making one for my BF for our anniversary (apparently I remind him of vulpix) and I was wondering how it like ended... because I just have a half-circle/cone kinda thing right now
ReplyDeleteOops, I must have left out the last step (possibly more steps, I'll have to double check. The body should be like a tube with an open end; you're going to cover the hold with the head. So just follow the instructions up to Rnd 17 (maybe add a Rnd 18 with 18 sc, I'm not positive about that--you can place it next to the head, if you have it done already and see how it looks; it's not a big deal either way) and then fasten off, leaving a long end for sewing. I'll fix the pattern when I find where I put my notebook and have the correct instructions. Sorry about that.
