Van the Cat *crochet pattern

Van the Cat

Van the Cat is dear to my heart and a labor of love.  My kittles are always watching me work.  As I sat around trying to decide on my next pattern I looked at Mr Bigglesworth and thought a cat would be nice!
***Pattern is untested as I type, if you find any errors I would greatly appreciate a heads up!***

Mr Bigglesworth (Bigs) and Van the Cat

My sweet kittles Alice was started awake by the flash :3

Materials:

F hook (or hook needed to obtain a tight fabric)
0 steel hook (for nose)
ww yarn in your choice of colors (I used Red Heart Super Saver in White, red & black )
Small amt of black (for mouth)
pink embroidery floss for nose
24mm safety eyes  (You can always embroider this!)
20mm doll joints (you can use safety eyes, or sew in place!)
tapestry needle (to attach limbs etc)
fiberfill


Abbreviations:

MR: magic ring
sl: slip
st: stitch
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
sc2tog: single crochet 2 together
sc3tog: single crochet 3 stitches together
hdc: half double crochet
5 dc bobble: insert hook into st draw up a loop, pull through 2 loops, repeat 4 more times in same st, yo draw through all loops on hook
f.o.: finish off
BPSC: back post sc
FPSC: front post sc

Note:
I use American terminology.  Be sure to read through the pattern before you begin.  If the pattern reads, "sc, 2sc, sc2tog" it would be read as "single crochet, 2 single crochet in next stitch, single crochet the next 2 stitches together".   Unless a specific repeat amount is written (ex: x3) you will repeat instructions given until end of each round. I like to use "invisible decreases"- use FLO, it helps the fabric lie smoother.  Stuff your project as you progress.  Unless noted otherwise Van the Cat is worked in amigurumi style in the round without joining. Make sure you mark your rounds, a scrap piece of contrasting yarn works great!
 Any Van the Cat's you make from my pattern are yours to do with as you please.  I ask that you please not distribute or represent my pattern as your own.  If you feel like sharing, please direct people to my blog :)  I like visitors!

Arms: x2

using F hook & color of your choice, change colors whenever you want, make your Van the Cat to your liking!  Stuff firmly as you work, I stuff a little lighter towards top of arm.

29: sc3, sc2tog (16)

30: sc (16) I placed the joint between rows 29/30 of arms they will attach to body between rows 65/66

31: sc2, sc2tog (12)

32: sc, sc2tog (8) f.o. leave a long tail, you may find you can't manipulate the joints well if you finish last round, if this is the case leave a a small amt of yarn extra and f.o. at round 31, after you have joint in place finish crochet rnd 32 :) leave open end until later on

Feet: x 2

Toes: make 3 per foot do NOT f.o. 3rd toe

1: Mr 6 (6)

2: sc, 2sc (9)

3: sc (9) f.o. toes 1 & 2

Begin foot/leg- see photos below if you need help with rnd 4

4: sc4, sk last 5 sts, sc4 in next toe, sk last 5 sts, sc9 in last toe, (I pick up a loop in 1st sc space of this toe as if doing a decrease to avoid sewing areas between toes closed) sc5 in next toe, (pick up loop in 1st sc space of the toe) sc 5 to marker. (27) you will have created a single round from 3 toes

32-34: sc (28)  f.o. leg one continue with leg 2

Look at your cat feet, add a stitch or two to keep feet flat or you can leave loose, they will naturally bend a bit on their own.  Find the sides of the legs and line up the inner thigh center stitches, a count of mine may not help you as tension can have us in different places.  I place a piece of yarn as a marker to indicate these sts.

35: sc to first marker, sk remaining sts of this leg and begin to crochet in first leg, sc28, (pick up a loop in 1st st of this leg and continue to next leg) sc in sk sts of leg 2 to marker. (56)

Cut 12 pieces of yarn approximately 6 inches long for hair tufts in ears and cheeks (3 per location) I used my tapestry needle to separate the yarn and trimmed to desired length after on Van.  I used a latch hook style knot to attach the hair.  

Sew tail to back of cat in location you like best.  

Attach the collar around neck of Van with a a few stitches.  

Sew smile on Van using black embroidery floss or yarn.  

Go nuts, give him whiskers or a mustache or anything you like!

Mice, Meece, Mouse : Mice for my Kittles crochet pattern

I love my kittles... like, a lot.  They bring me so much happiness <3  Yes, I actually call my cats Kittles and they know I'm talking to them.

My cats have loved playing with these mice since they were kittens so I figured sharing is caring!

This pattern is something I have been whipping up for years and I finally decided to write it down :)

For your kittle's enjoyment I happily present:

Mice for my Kittles

These mice were made by changing colors throughout

Materials

E hook ( whatever you need to keep the stuffing inside ;)

ww yarn in main color (mc) and contrasting color (cc)I used Red Heart Super Saver & With Love acrylic yarns

fiberfill 

yarn needle to weave in ends

I don't add catnip to the stuffing, but my cats do enjoy catnip so I squish up some catnip and rub on the outside of their mice ;) you can add or not :)

Abbreviations

MR : magic ring

ch: chain

sl st: slip stitch

sc: single crochet

sc2tog: single crochet 2 together (decrease)

dc: double crochet

tr: treble crochet

FLO: front loop only (loop closest to you)

BLO: back loop only (loop furthest from you)

f.o.: finish off

Notes:

All terms American. If pattern reads, " 2sc, sc2, sc2tog" it is implied this is repeated unless noted otherwise and read as, " 2 single crochet in next stitch, single crochet in the next 2 stitches, single crochet 2 stitches together over the next two stitches" (creating a decrease).  The mice are worked in the round without joining amigurumi style. Read pattern before beginning work.  Be sure to mark your rounds; I use a scrap piece of yarn. 

You may do whatever you wish with your finished mice: sell them, give them to your cats, make them as toys for children, train them to play rock and roll and tour the country, whatever you like, but I ask that you do not distribute my pattern in any form.  If you want to share my pattern or give credit for pattern (always appreciated but never required) please refer your friends to my blog :)  If you have any questions at all please contact me via email and I will gladly help you!

Red Hot Chili Pupper! *small dog sweater*

Chili Pepper Miller

Meet Chili.  He is a young adopted Chihuahua son of friends Jim & Michelle Miller of J & M Herbs.   Michelle asked for a sweater for this handsome young fella and nothing I found sufficed.  I found some super patterns but I wanted something that shouted "Chili Pepper Miller" so I am pleased to present the Red Hot Chili Pupper small dog sweater!

I know this only about his size;  neck to tail 12", neck to privates 5", "width" (I assumed girth of chest) 9". 
Requests of no arm holes as they can be difficult and stressful, buttons as opposed to pullover and to be mindful of young Chili's ability to sprinkle his clothing if too close to waterworks.

(I do not have a pic of Chili in his sweater but I will add as soon as I receive one along with any alterations that may be necessary.)

Completed Red Hot Chili Pupper Sweater

Super Bulky Hat (Crochet pattern)

My super awesome husband bought me a skein of Wool Ease Thick & Quick in Monarch because he knows I love orange and I like to use different yarns from time to time.  The skein has 5oz (87yards) and is size 6 super bulky.
After searching for a nice pattern for a super bulky yarn skull cap and I came up wanting more.  So here is my contribution for those like me- a small amount of yarn and a need for the perfect skull cap!

Materials:
Skein of super bulky (size 6 yarn)
N hook
Tapestry needle (to weave in ends)

Abbreviations:
MR : magic ring
dc : double crochet
ch : chain
FPDC :front post double crochet
BPDC : back post double crochet
sl st : slip stitch

Notes:
*******  Ch 2 does not count as a st at any point in the pattern. "2dc, dc2" reads as "2 double crochet in next stitch, double crochet in next 2 sts"*******
 All crochet terms American.  You may use your completed hats any way you wish; you can sell them or keep them or give them away, I only ask that you please do not publish this pattern in any way as your own.   A link back to this blog would also be appreciated :)

Free Turband Crochet Pattern

Turband....turban/headband. Also referred to as ear warmer, headwrap, headband,  I'm sure there are many more names!


I live in Florida and it is just too warm for hats some winters. But I crochet and need something! I figured a nice ear warmer would be nice so I came up with this stylish pattern for my friends who prefer a little less head coverage.  I also have a few friends who wear these simply to keep their hair back and look super cute as they do it!

Thin and wide options in pattern

Materials

I hook
worsted weight yarn of your choice
tapestry needle
scissors

Abbreviations (all terms American)

Ch - chain
hdc: half double crochet
dc - double crochet
camel stitch (third loop, back) Moogly Blog tutorial
chainless dc foundation- you can also start with a chain foundation but a chainless looks neater and has more stretch) Video tutorial that  will help
sl st: slip stitch
FLO: front loop only

Notes: ch sts at beginning of round do not count as a stitch

Turband:

1: chainless dc foundation 60, connect without twisting with a sl st (if starting with a chain, chain 62 loosely, dc in 3rd chain from hook and across for 60 st)
2: ch2, dc x1, camel stitch dc (back 3rd loop) around, join (60)
3: ch2, dc FLO around,  join (60)
4: repeat round 2 (f.o. for thinner band, leave a tail for sewing)
5: repeat round 3
6: repeat round 2 f.o. leave a tail for sewing

Use tails of yarn to finish edges together; this area will be hidden by 'knot".  If making a wider band I like to cinch this area with a stitch or two through, think accordion.

Knot:

ch6
1:hdc in second ch from hook and across (5)
2-7:ch1 hdc across  (continue through row 9 for wider turband)
8: Ch1 hdc across f.o. leaving a tail for sewing (row 10 for wider turband)

Finishing:
Attach "knot" by sewing ends together over finish area of band. Secure in place with a stitch through the back of knot that does not go through the front of knot.

I hope you enjoy your new Turband!    Feel free to sell as many of these as you like but please do not copy or distribute this pattern as your own.  If you want to share any of your projects from my patterns I would love to see them!  If you want to brag to everyone please post on my Facebook page!

Happy Hooking!

P.s.: I decided to check my gauge and I came up with 15sts in foundation dc in 4".  However, the beginning stitch count isn't as important as "fit". If you find 60 is too many or too few you can easily adjust the pattern by adding or subtracting stitches. I hope that helps ♡
