Today I made a Wheatley Amigurumi. He's not the greatest one out there but he's made completely out of yarn. No hard bits. Yes I am proud of that because one it's cuddly and two if a kid wants one it's safe for them ^^
He's approximately 4-5 inches in height...I couldn't find my tape measure to make sure. He fits nicely in your hand. I hope you get a chance to make him. Now this is free. I just ask that when you use it you give me some credit since I did make this pattern. Please don't sell him for profit. I repeat COPYRIGHT.
With that said here you go:
Portal Wheatley Amigurumi:
You will need:
Yarn:
white
blue
black
light grey
dark grey
I used Red Heart yarn
Hook: F/5-3.75mm
Darning/tapestry needle (what ever the yarn can fit through)
Poly-fil
Using the white yarn
Chain 3 and join.
You can also use the magic ring method. I tried both before finishing the product. My preference was the traditional chain 3, looked a little bit neater. I suggest you try out both methods to see what you like best : )
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
ST= Stitch
SL ST = Slip Stitch
SC DEC: Single Crochet Decrease
FO = Fasten Off
R1: Work 9 SC in the ring, you may SL ST to keep it a little neater looking at the end.
Switch to the blue yarn.
R2: Work 2 SC in each ST (18 ST at the end)
R3: SC all around.
R4: 1 SC in next 2 ST then 2 SC in the 3rd ST, repeat til the end.
R5: 1 SC in the next 3 ST then 2 SC in the 4th ST, repeat til the end.
Switch to the black yarn.
R6: 1 SC in the next 4 ST then 2 SC in the 5th ST, repeat til the end.
Switch to light grey yarn.
R7 - 12: SC all around.
R13: 1 SC in the next 4 ST then do a SC DEC (30 ST at the end).
Turn work inside out, because the inside is actually the outside part that will be seen.
R14: 1 SC in the next 3 ST then do a SC DEC (24 ST at the end).
Stuff with Poly-fil
R15: 1 SC in the next 2 ST then do a SC DEC (18 ST at the end).
R16: SC all around.
R17: SL ST skip a stitch and SL ST again, repeat (approximately 9 SL ST needed, but may need more or less depending on how loose or tight your stitches are).
Make a knot or two and sew the excess thread into the ball.
For the sides:
Make 2
Using the dark grey yarn:
Chain 3 and join with SL ST
R1: Work 9 SC in the ring, you may S ST to keep it neater.
R2: 2SC in each ST.
Switch to light grey yarn.
R3: SC all around.
FO and sew onto the side of the ball.
Handles:
Make 2
Using the dark grey yarn:
Chain 20.
R1: Using the back of the crochet or also known as the "butts" of the chain, SC all 20 ST
R2: 1 SC onto the other side of the chain to make it look more bar like. JUST ONE SC we are not going down the 20 ST again on the other side. This is just 1 SC on the first stitch on the other side. FO.
Leave enough yarn to sew to the ball. I basically just sewed the one side then passed the needle through the ball to the spot I was going to sew the other side of the handle to and sewed it like that then just tucked the yarn into the work and snipped off the excess when I brought the needle back out.
And there you have a Wheatley all to yourself!
I hope my pattern made sense.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask : )
Enjoy!
Next pattern I plan to do is for the Space Core but sort of a Nyan Cat space core scarf.
That pattern will be made available on etsy. As well as the original product if anyone wishes to buy it. Prices have yet to be determined. They won't be expensive.
