Tentomon



Here's the one out of at least the half dozen Digimon I've been trying to make that I was actually able to finish. As you can see, it's a bit lopsided since I'm a bad girl and never measure, but who wants a doll that's completely perfect? ^_______^


Materials

Pink, black and tannish/yellowish (yeah, I know, it's hard to describe; I just used a sort of off-white--shall henceforth be known as "whatever color") yarn
Small amounts, gray, green, orange
Stuffing
Coins to weigh down legs (optional)


Head




Note: This is technically not the same as what i did; I was trying to go for an oval shape, but it got a little complicated and it ended up not being much different than if I had just used the following instructions--at least I think so. If it doesn't work, let me know, but I think it should.

With pink, ch 2
Rnd 1: 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook (8 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16 sc)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (24 sc)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (32 sc)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (40 sc)
Rnd 6-12: sc in each sc around
Begin stuffing, continue as you go along
Rnd 13: sc in next 3 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (32 sc)
Rnd 14: sc in next 2 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (24 sc)
Rnd 15: sc dec in next sc, sc dec in next 2 sc, repeat around (16 sc)
Rnd 16: sc dec around (8 sc)
Fasten off, weaving yarn through to close.

Mouth

With whatever color, ch 9
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch sp across (8 sc)
Row 2-4: sc in each sc across
Row 5: sc dec in first 2 sc, sc across, sc dec in last 2 sc (6 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew to head. Embroider a line exactly in the middle.

Mouth Thingies (Make 6)

With gray, ch 5
Row 1: sc (or sl st if you want thinner) in 2nd ch from hook and each ch sp across (4 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew three onto either side of mouth line.

Eyes (Make 2)

With green, ch 2
Rnd 1: 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook (8 sc)
Rnd 2: sc in 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around (10 sc)
Fasten off.
Wait until next pieces are completed before sewing to head.

Eye Thingies (Make 4)

With black, ch 3
Fasten off.
Sew above mouth, two on each side. Sew eyes onto head, overlapping these pieces slightly.

Antennae (Make 2)

With orange, ch 13
Row 1: sc in each of 2 ch sp, 2 sc in next ch sp, sc in each of next 3 ch sp, sc dec in next 2 ch sp, sc in each of next 2 ch sp, sc dec in last 2 ch sp (11 sc)
Fasten off.
Sew to head.


Wings/Body



With pink, ch 2
Rnd 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sc)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sc)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around until last 3 sc, sc in remaining sc (23 sc)
Note: Whereas a usual increase pattern is repeating 6 times (or 8 depending on what number you start with), here there are only 5 repeats. The last 3 sc of Rnd 4 will never increase in order to have a flat belly. So you'll always have 3 sc extra. Don't worry about that, Rnd 11 will give you an extra sc to make it circular so you can finish as normal. I know it seems a little confusing--let me know if you have questions.
Rnd 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3(28 sc)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around sc in last 3 (33 sc)
Rnd 7: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (38 sc)
Rnd 8: sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (43 sc)
Rnd 9: sc in next 7 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (48 sc)
Rnd 10: sc in next 8 sc, 2 sc in next sc, repeat around, sc in last 3 (53 sc)
Rnd 11: sc in each sc around, 2 sc in last sc (54 sc)
Rnd 12-23: sc in each sc around
Begin stuffing
Rnd 24: sc in each of next 7 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc (48 sc)
Rnd 25: sc in next 6 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (42 sc)
Rnd 26: sc in next 5 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (36 sc)
Rnd 27: sc in next 4 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (30 sc)
Rnd 28: sc in next 3 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (24 sc)
Rnd 29: sc in next 2 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (18 sc)
Rnd 30: sc in next 1 sc, sc dec in next 2 sc around (12 sc)

Finishing



Sew any loose parts that I didn't account for (I don't think there's any, but just in case). Add glue to hold things in place if desired (as you can tell by the picture, the line is not glued, so that's why it keeps falling to the side). Go digital!

Demi-Veemon



Just a quick little Digimon project that was easy to do while I struggle with larger ones. His head is basically my Koromon pattern, which, upon looking it over, was really very poorly written. Not such a big deal, considering it was my first one, but I'll definitely revise it when I have leisure. That being said, you can just take off the body, hands and feet of this little guy and use that.

Note: Some parts of this pattern may be slightly wrong as I wrote it in 50 million places in my notebook and can't seem to find all of them. So if something seems wrong, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

Starly



This is actually a project that I finished faster than I expected. I love bird Pokemon like Pidgeotto and Pidove, but all I had to make one with was this darker gray, so I made a Starly.

Pignite



This was one of those projects that was supposed to be a quick, just for fun thing that ended up turning into a real project. What I've learned from this experience: an easy project only incorporates 5 pieces or less. Nevertheless, I'm happy with how it came out, so all's well that ends well. Hope you like it.

N.B. This pattern hasn't been tested by anyone but me, please let me know if there are any problems with it. There are some pieces that I had trouble making that I'm not sure if I wrote down correctly, so please tell me.
