ATEEZ San

Hey Lovelies! It’s a lovely new day and time for a new crochet pattern. I quite like this one, tho I think I made it a bit big, as you know, I usually work pretty small xD. I struggled a bit to get this done. But I made it! It’s a Shiba Inu Throw Pillow, still tinier as a normal pillow. The reason I made this is because San of ATEEZ (a Korean pop group) has a plush like this, called Shiber. He’s so adorable! I just had to make one myself with my own twist. I hope you will enjoy this cutie as well.

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Yarn in the colors;  Orange and White. (I used budgetyarn.com)
♥ Crochet Hook (I used a 2,5mm hook).
♥ Stuffing.
♥ Scissors.
♥ Sewing Pins.
♥ Yarn Needle.
♥ Safety eyes, 10mm.
♥ Safety nose. (optional, you can also embroider it on or use felt.)
♥ Piece of black yarn or felt.

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

Assembling

With the use of sewing pins you can position all your parts first, to check if you like the outcome. This way you can easily move them around before sewing them on.

Start with sewing on the feet to each corner of the body. Make them flat and slide the over the corner. You don’t have to stuff them, but you can if you want.
Sew on the tail as well, make sure you keep the belly on the down side.
Sew in the Snout and the ear to the head. Shiber has 2 white dots above his eyes, these you can embroider on with some white yarn or use felt. As for the nose/mouth if you didn’t use a safety nose, you can do the same as for the white dots.
Now, Sew the head to the body. This might be tricky, just make sure to use enough Sewing pins to place it, this will help a lot by sewing it on bit by bit.

And your Shiber is done as well! Adorable, right?! I hope you had fun with this pattern. And I will see you next week. (I know I was a bit late today, I hope you don’t mind!)

Love
