How to Crochet: a Bomb

Hey guys! I’ve got a brand new pattern today for you guys and even made a video for it! I also added these little Bob-omb’s and Bombs to the Etsy store today so check them out there!

Also there’s a new pattern up for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi up there too for only 2.99!!

 

Materials:
(basically any 100% cotton works)
–Needle to sew in ends with

Abbreviations:
-sc = Single Crochet
-inc = Increase (sc 2 in one st)
-dec = Decrease (sc 2 together)
-hdc = Half-Double Crochet
-ch = Chain
-st = Stitch
-Rnd = Round

Top

In color A (grey) Ch 2
Rnd 1: sc 3 in 2nd ch from the hook, sl.st in the first sc made. Don’t turn. (3)
Cut and pull through leaving a long end to sew onto the top of the bomb.

Feet (make two)
In color B (yellow) Ch 3

Rnd 1: sc 1 in second ch from the hook, sl.st 2 in the next ch. Flip over. (3)
Rnd 2: sc one in the same st you made the sl.st’s in, sl.st in next ch over (2)
I know this part seems confusing, but basically you’re just making a tiny oval by working sc’s and sl.st’s on one side of a ch, then turning the piece upside-down and working into the back side of the same ch’s. Cut leaving a somewhat long end for sewing onto the piece.

Crank (back side of Bob-omb)
In color B (yellow) Ch 5
Rnd 1: skip first two chs, hdc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in next ch, ch 1, hdc 1 and sl.st in the last ch (4)
Cut and pull through leaving a somewhat long end again for sewing onto the backside of the bob-omb.

Sew on the Top part here
Rnd 4 – 6: sc in each st around (15)
Make the wick here (see video above). Sew on eyes here. See this video for instructions on how to sew on eyes.
Rnd 7: sc in first 3 sts, dec in next, repeat x 3 (12)
Sew on the Crank here
Rnd 8: dec in each st around. (6)

Finish off by stuffing your piece and sewing together the bottom. See this video for instructions on how to finish off.

Done! Now you have your very own miniature Bob-omb! Don’t cause too much havoc with him.

Oh, and check out the pattern for Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi in my shop now for only 2.99!! 

How to make Hair for your Amigurumi

Hey guys! I’ve got a new tutorial for you guys! I realzed while making a pattern that it’s really tough to explain how I make hair via text, so I thought it’d probably just be easiest to make a video for it! So here you go, a video showing how I make the hair for my amigurumis, and check out the new pattern for Jon Snow that’s up today in the Etsy store!


“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!

Watch me Crochet: Maleficent

Hey guys! Came out with a new episode of “Watch me Crochet” yesterday where I make Maleficent from Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, as well as in her new movie Maleficent! She was really fun to make, and is available in the Etsy store today!

I’m thinking of coming out with a pattern for her soon, but not sure how to go about that just yet as it is pretty dang complicated, but we’ll see.

Hope you guys like the video!


Here’s some more photos of her:

How to crochet: “Splitting”


Hey guys, so I’ve been using this technique for a while while crocheting that I call “splitting” where I split a row in half. Not sure what it’s really called, but figured that was a pretty decent name for it.

I use it in my amigurumi to make things like hoodies and hat brims, and used it a lot when I made Maleficent here. Anyhow, just thought I’d share it and show you guys how I do that and some things I make with it in a video. I’ll probably be coming out with a whole bunch of amigurumi tutorials pretty soon and going to definitely be posting some longer detailed stuff on my Patreon page here in the not so distant future.

Enjoy!
