<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now for the details. I used needle felting, but without step-by-step photos here, I strongly recommend you use reference photos. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here's a video on needle felting for those of you who are beginners:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHxeOBl3Luc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHxeOBl3Luc</a></span><br />
<br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">To needle felt ears, I simply took some light pink roving, and slowly added layers. I wanted a faded effect, so many layers is best! When needle felting I also find it helpful to step back and look at my work. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The face was the trickiest part. To achieve ridges/raised areas you need to make many layers. I find it helpful to make loose "sausages" from the felt, and felt that in with my needle felter. Then I'll add thinner layers to blend everything together. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">* If you can't find felt in the same colour as your face, use your yarn and just unravel and brush it!</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Felt can be REALLY packed down, so if something doesn't look right, just continue to felt until the shape is correct. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Worst case scenario, pry the felted layers off and start fresh. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I also like to add more eye details, like little white accents at the outside corners. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>A Little Jacket</b></span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>with brown yarn</i></span></span><br />

<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Going back to the top of your work, attach your beige yarn to the start of <b>Row 1</b>, and work across as follows:</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Row 1a: </b>CH 3, TC 8, DC 6, SC 8, DC 6, TC 8</span></span><br />

<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the arms, reattach the brown yarn at the arm holes, and DC around 12. DC 2 more rounds. </span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">DC 1 round at the end in beige. FO</span></span><br />
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Weave in all ends, and you've made a little jacket!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></h2><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Hello all! I haven't posted for a while, but I'm planning to change that in the next few months.<br />
<br />
I have a few more free Pokemon patterns in the works, and you can follow along with that progress on my instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loop.tee.loops/">https://www.instagram.com/loop.tee.loops/</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I've gotten many questions about how to make these blankets, so below you'll find both written and video instructions.<br />
<br />
Happy creating! :)</span><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">These patterns take time to design and write out. If you enjoyed using my pattern, please consider supporting me by paying what you can for the pattern by using the "buy me a coffee" button to the right. </span></b></p>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Materials:</span></h3>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
8-9 Balls Bernat Blanket Big</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Scissors</span></div>
<h3><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Abbreviations:</span></h3>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
CH = Chain</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">

<h3><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Written Instructions</span></h3>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Chain Row: </span></b></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
As shown in the video, start by making a slip knot. Then CH the number of stitches to get your desired length (I did 42 for a 68'' blanket). </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
*pause video*</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Row 1: </span></b></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Starting in the 2nd CH from your hand, insert your fingers, grab your working yarn, and pull through both loops (the one on your hand, and the one you just put your fingers into.) Repeat until the end of the row, being careful not to twist the yarn. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
*pause video*</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Row 2-end:</span></b></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
CH 1 to start the row. You'll see two loops making up that row you just did. You want to crochet in the <b>back loops</b>. Those are the loops furthest away from you. (Watch video for guidance in this). </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Crochet to the end of the row, and repeat! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
* I realize that I never gave guidance in the video on how to start a new skein of yarn. Once you come to the end of your ball, leave about 8 inches. With the loop still on your hand as usual, insert your hand into the next stitch, and pull through yarn from your new ball instead (also leaving a 8 inch tail.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
You can then tie these together for extra durability, and weave all the ends in at the end - tucking and twisting them into your project so they can't be seen. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Fastening off:</span></b></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
When you get to the end of your project, simply cut the yarn, leaving an 8 inch tail. Pull the yarn through your loop, and pull tight - fastening off your work. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
(It's silent because I'm really, really bad at narrating what I'm doing. So watch it along with the written instructions.)</span></div>

This tiny, adorable little Pokemon would look perfect sitting on your desk or shelf, and is incredibly easy to make to boot! <br />
<br />
For this one, you'll have to be at least mildly comfortable with embroidery, as the stripes are embroidered on. Additionally, get ready to be patient. The fur takes <i>forever</i> to attach on. <br />
<br />
It's all worth it though. Once you're done you're left with a cute, fluffy friend. :D<br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
You can either attach it this way: https://freshstitches.com/how-to-add-yarn-hair-to-amigurumi-tutorial/ , and brush out the yarn to be fluffy</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
OR you can do it the lazy way like I did: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: helvetica;">
Using a hot glue gun, pinch small pieces of the roving, and stick them where they're supposed to be. It works, and it's quick! You just have to be careful with the glue, as it can look very messy if done badly. </span></div>

I haven't been posting for a while, so I decided that I would re-boot my blog by making two posts.<br />
<br />
The first is this adorable bumble bee pattern. This pattern is actually the first pattern I've ever written. It's been sitting in my patterns folder forever, so I decided I should go ahead and share it! It would be perfect for a nursery decoration, or as a rattle if you add a little shaker inside.<br />

A while back I got a request for a tiny Cubone, but all of the patterns available weren't really my cup of tea so I wrote my own! I had been meaning to put the nearly nonsensical scraps of pattern notes into a legible pattern for quite a while, so I finally sat down and forced myself to write. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope you enjoy the pattern, and feel free to let me know if there's any issues. (Preferably in the comments so others can see the solution if they had the same problem.)</div>

If you're anything like me, you're well accustomed to the feelings associated with procrastination; especially when it comes to gift giving. The initial deluge of ideas and the feeling of contentment as you tell yourself that there's no point in taking action yet. You have everything well under control. This is customarily followed by panic many days later when you see the deadline looming much closer than you expected and you're thrown into a frantic scramble, desperately trying to find the perfect gift that you had pictured so clearly weeks earlier. <br />
<br />
Seem familiar? Well worry not, because I have two perfect DIY gifts below! (Assuming your giftee likes adorableness and the TMNT.)<br />

Now it’s time to attach the mask and eyes. It’s helpful to stuff the head after you
attach the eyes, before you glue the back of the mask.<br />
<br />
- Cut a thin band of felt, slightly wider than the safety eyes. <br />
- Mark where the eyes will go on the felt, and make two small holes, so you can
push the eyes through<br />
- I placed the eyes four
stitches apart. (Count on the head for
measurement.)<br />
- The bandana was placed
beneath the fourth stitch (counting from the top of the head.)<br />
- Install the eyes, and fasten the back of the bandana with hot glue. Alternatively, you can sew it on with a
similar colour of thread. <o:p></o:p></div>

The heart pattern is below, and once again, you can get the bear pattern <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/496751540/pattern-teddy-bear-crochet-pattern-bear">here</a>. Since it's made with Bernat blanket yarn it's both incredibly soft, and equally incredibly fast to make. (Mine took me just an afternoon!) Here's the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/teddy-bear-80">Ravelry page</a> if you want to show off your project there. <br />

(Unfortunately my pesky masters thesis is getting in the way of a true marathon of laziness, but at least I can still overindulge in tea while reading articles.)<br />
<br />
I had meant to wait a couple weeks before posting the final pattern in the Kanto Starters series... but on the theme of staying in and avoiding adulting, here's the pattern for Squirtle!<br />

<br />
I'll be posting Squirtle next (in a week or two... depending on how much I'm focusing on coursework.) and possibly Pikachu after that, if I can write the pattern out in a way that makes sense. After that, I'm open to suggestions!<br />
<br />
Anyways, without further ado, here's my Bulbasaur pattern:<div><br /></div><div><b>These patterns take time to design and write out. If you enjoyed using my pattern, please consider supporting me by paying what you can for the pattern by using the "buy me a coffee" button to the right. </b> <br />

<b>Pod</b><br />
Row 1: CH 12, join the ends into a loop with a SlSt. (You’re just making a crochet ring with 12 stitches around.) (12 stitches)<br />
Row 2: INC x 12 (24 stitches)<br />
Row 3-4: SC x 24 (24 stitches)<br />
Row 5: *SC 4, DEC* x 4 (20 stitches)<br />
Row 6: DEC x 10 (10 stitches)<br />
Row 7: DEC x 5 (5 stitches)<br />
Row 8: SC 4, SlSt, FO.<br />
<br />
<i>Stuff pod (from the bottom)</i><br />
<i>Sew pod to the back of your Bulbasaur</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Arms and Legs</b><br />
Row 1: CH 2, SC 10 in first stitch. (10 stitches)<br />
<i>Alternatively, SC 10 into a magic circle</i><br />
Row 2-5: SC x 10 (10 stitches)<br />
FO with SlSt.<br />
<br />
<i>Stuff legs lightly, and sew them onto body. (see pictures at the start of pattern for placement.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Next comes the markings! This part is super simple, just cut out a bunch of triangles /other angled shapes of varying sizes and using the fabric glue/your hot glue gun, fasten them to your Bulbasaur.<br />
And you’re done!<br />

I LOVE to create things out of yarn, so I decided to create a site where I could offer patterns, tips, and tricks in the hope that it inspires a few other people to create too. (Most importantly, I'll be posting at least one free pattern monthly!)<br />
<br />
<br />
To start things off, I'm diving into nostalgia. I'm sure I'm in the majority when I say that I grew up watching Pokemon, so the next few posts will feature the three Kanto Starters, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur. <br /><br />

<br />
Row 1: INC x 9 (18 stitches)<br />

Row 7 to close: DEC to close, FO.<br />

<br />
<b>Arms </b><br />

Row 8: *SC x 2*, *INC x 4*, SC, DEC<br />
Row 8 continued?/mini row 9: Dec 1, FO.<br />
<br />
<br />
For the flames, I simply separated the strands of a few medium length pieces of yarn (red, yellow, orange), tied a knot at the end, and threaded them through the end of the tail using the tapestry needle. Then I trimmed them to how I wanted them to look.<br />
<br />
Sew on the tail.<br />
<br />
OPTIONAL:<br />
You can also include some wire in the tail to make it poseable. I did this and I like how it looks.<br />
