How to Crochet: BMO Phone Case
 |
| Also, for those of you who would rather just buy this, it’s available here. |
Added a new, and kinda big, pattern to my YouTube this week! So a lot of people liked my iPhone case that looks like BMO from Adventure time so I figured why not add a free pattern to explain how to make an iPhone case made with my pattern (available here by the way) into a BMO iPhone case!
I had to split the video into two, and on my YouTube it’s also split into two weeks, so part two technically won’t be available until next week, but I figure I’d let you guys have both video’s now because I love my followers here so much!!
*Disclaimer: This pattern is only to make the various parts of BMO, and not the iPhone case itself, that pattern is available in my Etsy shop here*
Well without further ado, here are the two video’s and the written patterns for the three different parts to go with them!!

Watch me Crochet: Assassin’s Creed
This past week a new Assassin’s Creed game was announced. I’m a pretty decent fan of the franchise, so I figured why not add Altair, from the first Assassin’s Creed game, to the group of pod people! And while I’m at it, why not make a video!
And even further, why not do another Pokemon giveaway!! So thats what I did, a new Watch me Crochet episode, new character added to the Etsy, and a giveaway!

“Crochet Me”
If you guys didn’t know, I do a series on my YouTube channel called “Crochet Me“. Basically, for each episode I crochet a different YouTuber and a viewer and do a time-lapse of me crocheting the YouTuber.
Well I havn’t been posting them very often here, so I figured I’d just do a dump of the first 8 episodes of Crochet Me. See if you know any of the YouTubers, and let me know if there are any YouTubers you’d like me to make!
Also, if you or someone you know wants to be crocheted, I choose one viewer an episode to crochet, here are some examples of the people I’ve made.
If you want to be crocheted just post a picture to Twitter or Instagram to @louiesloops with #crochetmelouie
Hope you guys like these!
