Tsum Tsum

Hey Lovelies! I am finally writing this blog post, my laptop is a tiny bit old (Almost 7 years) and it had some troubles doing what it is suppose to do. Oh well, it’s working now, all fine xD. I just think it is time to look around for a new one, finally. (I’ve been putting that of haha). Anyway, back to the point of this blog, pattern time! It’s Tsum Tsum time today and I was asked if I could make Stitch! Such an adorable creature that was on my list for quite some time now, so I pushed him a bit forward. I hope you will enjoy him as much as I do.

♥ Yarn in 3 shades of Blue (Light Blue, Blue and Dark Blue) and Pink (I used Stylecraft Special DK and Budgetyarn.com)
♥ Black Felt or Yarn for the eyes.
♥ Crochet Hook. (I used a 2,5mm)
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Stitch Markers.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ (Fabric)Glue.  (In case you decided to go with felt).

Stitches used (US Terms):
Magic Ring.
CH = Chain.
SLST = Slip Stitch.
SC = Single Crochet.
ST = Stitch.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
(…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times.
[…] = Total number of stitches.

Assembling

Whenever I start assembling amigurumi ’s I use sewing pins to put it together first. This way I can move parts around easily until I am happy and sew them on.

Start with sewing on his nose, just under the middle of the start of the body, in between the eyes.
Then sew on his belly, make sure to place it right, since the front part create Stitch mouth.
After the belly is on you can attach his legs, sew them there where the belly meets his body.
last also sew on his tail, hair and ears! I did the ears last so I could place them in the right spot when everything is already there.
Of course don’t forget to give him some eyes! Use either felt or embroidery to do so.

And little Stitch is born and added to our growing tsum tsum collection! I hope you had fun and I’ll see you next week! Don’t forget to show me yours on either Twitter or Instagram!

Love
