♥ Free Pattern; Amigurumi Cat Bulb

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Was the weather as beautiful as it was here the past few days?! It was so nice and sunny and cold, I love it! I prefer this weather over hot sunny weather. I just love cold weather, don’t judge me haha. Right now, it’s cloudy while I am writing this, but the past few days really got me into spring feelings. So, I thought it’s a good idea to make something springy! I think this cat bulb turned out adorable, I hope you think so as well. Ready to dive into this Amigurumi pattern?!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Yarn in the colors; Light Brown, Brown, Green and Cream. (I used StyleCraft Special DK in the colors; Camel, Walnut, Spring Green and Cream)
♥ Crochet Hook (I used a 2,5mm hook).
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Safety eyes, 5mm. (Optional

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

Pattern

Leaves (Make 2)
Use the color Green

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: (1SC, inc) 3 times. [9]
3: 9SC. [9]
|
5: 9SC. [9]
6: (1SC, dec) 3 times. [6]
7: 6SC. [6]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Stem
Use the color Green.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 6SC. [6]

11: 6SC. [6]
Fasten off and weave in tail.

Bulb
Use the color Light Brown.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: Inc in each st around. [12]
3: (1SC, inc) 6 times. [18]

11: (4SC, dec) 6 times. [30]

Between row 11 and 12 you will add the eyes, about 2,5cm apart. It’s also a good time to add the roots with cream to the bottom of the bulb, I attached 4 strands, and peeled those apart, so it looks a bit more like roots.
13: 30SC. [30]
14: (3SC, dec) 6 times. [24]
15: 24SC. [24]
16: (2SC, dec) 6 times. [18]

4: (3SC, inc) 2 times. [10]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Assembling

Sew the 2 leaves to the stem, at the point you started the stem.
With Sewing pins, it’s easier to see where you wanna place all the parts. With pinning them down to the place you wanna have the legs for example, you can see if it looks good. If not, you can easily replace them. What you can’t do easily when you already sew them on.
If you are happy with how your Cat Bulb looks, you can sew on all parts.
Lastly add the plant to the blub, insert it in the hole of the bulb and sew it on.  I used the yarn tail from the blub, I thought this was easier, but do what feels good for you.
Don’t forget to make a nose, you can embroider it on or use felt. With some soft pastel I added some pink to the cheecks, maybe you wanna do that as well, just apply it with a brush.

I hope you enjoyed this Cat Bulb Pattern! And if so, show me yours on social media, love to see it!
Have a wonderful day everyone!

♥ Free Pattern; Succulent Heart

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! Happy Valentines Day!! Ha, I wanted to say Happy V-Day! But, then… I only could think of that it was Taehyung’s/V’s Birthday haha. My ARMY (BTS Fandom name) mind creeped out. So let’s keep it Happy Valentines Day!
Today I made something to crochet for you, a Succulent heart. I know I am late posting this, but I had a hard time finishing it. I’m sorry for that. But the day hasn’t passed yet! Anyway,  It’s a free pattern for you to enjoy. I didn’t make it too sweet, didn’t felt like it this year, this way you can easily use it as a home deco piece!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Grey Yarn*. (I used Zeeman Luxery Yarn with a 5,5mm hook.)
♥ Green Yarn*. (I used Zeeman SuperSoft with a 2mm hook.)
♥ Crochet Hook.
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Soft Pastel. (optional)

*The Grey yarn should be about 2 a 3 times ticker as the yarn you will use for the plants.

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

Pattern

Heart (Make 2)
Use the gray Yarn.

1: Ch4, insert in second chain from hook, 3SC, Turn. [3]
2: Ch1, inc, 1SC, inc, Turn. [5]
3: Ch1, inc, 3SC, inc, Turn. [7]
4: Ch1, inc, 5SC, inc, Turn. [9]
5: Ch1, inc, 7SC, inc, Turn. [11]
6: Ch1, inc, 9SC, inc, Turn. [13]
7: Ch1, inc, 11SC, inc, Turn. [15]
8: Ch1, inc, 13SC, inc, Turn. [17]
9: Ch1, inc, 15SC, inc, Turn. [19]

19: Ch1, Dec, 3SC, Dec, Turn. [5]
20: Ch1, 5SC, Turn. [5]
21: Ch1, Dec, 1SC, Dec. [3]

Repeat row 17 to 21 for the other half of the heart shape.
When you are done, make another one. These 2 you will crochet together with Single Crochet (SC). Don’t forget to stuff the heart lightly before entirely closing up. Work away all your tails and make a nice loop to hang the heart at, at the top.

Succulent
Use the Green Yarn.

Small leave (Make 6)

1: 6SC in magic ring. [6]
2: 6SC. [6]
3: 1SC, Inc. [9]
4: 9SC. [9]
5: 9SC. [9]
6: 1SC, Dec. [6]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Big Leave (make 6)

1: 6SC in magic ring. [6]
2: 6SC. [6]
3: 1SC, Inc. [9]
4: 2SC, Inc. [12]
5: 12SC. [12]
|
8: 12 SC. [12]
9: 2SC, Dec. [9]
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Assemble the Succulent starting from the small leaves. So you work your way from inside out. You only have the sew the bottom of the leaves together. Make sure you spread them evenly. With some Soft Pastel you can give your succulent a bit more dimension. Just add it with a brush to the edges.

I also added some string of pearls succulent. Which I made a pattern for somewhere last year. You can find it here: Link

Assembling

Now you have your heart and succulents done, you can arrange them how you would like. I just placed them on with some sewing pins until I was happy, and sewed them on.

And you are done! Now you can give it to someone you love of just give it as a present to yourself! It’s good to treat yourself from time to time as well!

Have a wonderful Valentines Day!

♥ Happy New Year!

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!! 猪年大吉 (Zhū nián dàjí).
It’s the year of the earth Pig! A Golden Pig! Which hopefully means that this year will be filled with Abundance and Good Fortune. Let’s hope this year will be good to us, wishing you all the luck!

I always pay more attention to this New Years, and it’s more important to me, Why?! Because there is way more meaning behind!

I wanted to make a post for a while now, I’m not abandoning this blog, I just was in high need of a break after all the stuff from last year. Let’s forget about that tho.

I’m still making things and picked up Drawing after a long while. I’m enjoying that so much at the moment! For me, I love switching up between all arts and crafts I know. I can’t stick long to one subject. I’m always challenging myself to learn new things and make my knowledge about it bigger. There’s always something to learn, you never stop. This is what keeps me going, eager to learn. So just know that this blog isn’t a Crochet blog, it’s about everything I love!

For this year I also wanna archieve some things. And some I already started, I can tell you a few. But I guess I’ll gonna keep some to myself. You will find out eventually when time is there.

I wanna draw more, I missed it too much. BUT I also need to finish the drawings I start. I often put them away and never finish them. It’s time to change that up. I also gonna film more speed drawing videos! And I actually started with that already! Secretly~, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes haha.

I also wanna set up an Etsy store and a Ravelry page. It’s something I wanted to do last year already, but life got in the way =P.

Some personal goals I have it to get into Yoga, I should just do it xD. And something you won’t expect maybe, I wanna start learning Chinese Mandarin. I’m not sure how yet, so if you have tips/apps/websites/ anything, let me know!

I hope you will have a wonderful day! And look forward to my weekly blogging again! I will be posting on Thursdays again, just as regular. I am not sure if I will start this week or next week. (I have the flu at the moment and I am way to addicted to Meteor Garden (Chinese 2018 Version) So after posting this, I’m back watching that xD)

Stay Healthy!

Love
Danielle

♥ Day 15; Popplio Felt Ornament

Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s Day 15 of Blogmas, and on this very moment, when this blog get released, I will know who won the ‘HaakSTER’ Competition! I am so nervous! Oh gosh, I have no clue what’s going to happen, I will keep you updated! Anyway, for today I planned another felt ornament! It’s popplio’s turn! He got his cute antlers out!

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥  Felt in the colors Dark Blue, Blue, White,Red, Green and Brown
♥  Sewing thread in matching colors to the felt.
♥  Sewing Needle.
♥  Trick Marker or anything else where you can copy the pattern with onto your felt.
♥  Pattern.
♥  Scissors.
♥  Stuffing.
♥  Fabric Glue. (optional)
♥  Acryllic Paint in white, black and Red(optional)

DIY

First off all, download the pattern HERE! And print it out (or draw it from your screen). The good thing is, you can make it as big as you want! Then cut out all the pieces. On every piece is stated how many times you need to cut it out of felt.

Copy all part to the felt with a trick marker. Cut part A out of Dark Blue felt, Part B out of White, Part C out of Red, Part D out of Blue felt, Part E out of Brown felt and Part F out of Green felt.

Now sew parts A together with a Blanket stitch. I started by the head, when I finished that part I stuffed it. Continued the body  and legs. The flippers you don’t have to stuff, just the body itself.
For 2 parts a line is drawn through by the body, this you will stitch with arunning stitch, just to give Popplio a little bit more dimension.

The rest of the parts I glued on. I went for the easy way cause I was in a rush. But you can also choose to sew them on.

For the eyes and mouth, I painted them on, but you can choose to make them out of felt as well. Do what suits best for you!

And that was it! Quick but cute! I hope you like it anyway, and give him some love by making him as well, share it with #DelinleaBlogmas2018DIY or #DelinleaDIY

Have a lovely day!

Love
Danielle
