Yarnie A person obsessed with all things yarn . They always have something yarn related on them. They are usually multi-craftual. (Knit, Crochet , Weave) With interest more in the yarn itself verse what is made with it. They often hoard yarn that is very expensive just because they like th e yarn. -Urban Dictionary I still can't believe I acco mplished this project. It took me a lot of planning and a few trial runs before I finally got it to come together properly and it sure w as worth it! I am pretty proud of this pillow pattern and I'm so excited to share it with you! 😁 This is going to be pretty long so let's not waste anymore time and just get right into it. This pattern requires a 20 in x 12 in pillow form and is constructed with two panels, a front and back. Basically two crochet patterns in one. 😉 I purchased my pillow form from Amazon .com. It was actually a little difficult to find the proper size pillow I was going to need. I'...
So... uhhh... yeah this happended 😂
I am just going to explain the process here of how I made this little guy; not a formal pattern or anything but you should get the idea to be able to make your own.
I started by making the body. I used some gray cotton yarn and made an amigurumi ball with the ratio of 7.
That is, make your magic loop with 6 stitches and join, then increase for 7 rounds, crochet around for 7 rounds, and then decrease for 7 rounds.
Don't forget to add the eyes before the opening gets to small to do so! oh and stuff it too.
I close my amigurumi pieces off with a yarn needle and threading the last row of stitches.
I used some embroidery thread to make the angry eyebrows and frown.
Next I made the red things, I don't know what they're called 🙎
I did a magic ring with 4 stitches and joined with a slip stitch (be sure to leave long tails to start and end; they will help when attaching to the body). Then I crocheted about 12 stitches (some I made shorter) and then I slip stitched around the top.
Chained 2 and made a little picot, slip stitched to the next and did the same two more times to make 3 little picots at the top. This created the triangular shape at the top of the posts.
I weaved the yarn tail through to the bottom of the post and used the two tails to attach the red guys to to body. I didn't worry to much about it being very secure because this guy is just for myself to sit on my desk but I did have the idea to possibly use hot glue to better secure the posts? Just a thought, you make yours however you like.
And that's pretty much it. I had a lot of fun making this little guy and it helped me get through a couple of days of quarantine. I hope you're all safe and well. We will get through this 💓
I had a blast making this angry little COVID and I encourage you all to make your own! Tag me on Instagram with your creations! I can't wait! @yarnandlovee
