Chain 16 to begin
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each of the next 15 chs, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 2-28: sc in 2nd sc, then sc in each of the next 15 chs, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 29: sc in 2nd sc in front loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 30: sc in 2nd sc in back loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 31: sc in 2nd sc in front loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 32: sc in 2nd sc in back loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 33-66: sc in 2nd sc, then sc in each of the next 15 chs, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 67: sc in 2nd sc in back loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 68: sc in 2nd sc in front loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 69: sc in 2nd sc in back loops only, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)
Row 70-77: sc in 2nd sc, then sc in each of the next 15 chs, ch1 (to turn) (16 sc)

This will complete the majority of the case. The next thing to do is to sc around all of the edges to make them look nice and even. I didn't really count them so, there really isn't a set number, just make it look nice. After the edges are done, I did a slip stitch and left a tail long enough that I could sew both of the edges up. I used a yarn needle to do this. I sewed the inside loops together on each side. When I got to the bottom of the case, I weaved in the yarn to get to the other side and repeated the same thing up to the top again. Finish off. And whala! You're done!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob Squarepants!

Spongebob here was the first pattern I have ever wrote down on paper. There are a few parts that came out too big, and I will make note of them so you can try to avoid the issues I had. You can't tell them too much, and when I sewed all of the pieces together, it was pretty much an easy fix and couldn't tell what the mistakes were. He is much bigger then the normal amigurumi, so I wouldn't consider him to be one, but for a child, this would be great because he is such a good size.

I used black yarn to make the mouth and created a smile with it, and aligned the teeth where it was best fit. Then add the eye brows to the top of his eyes. And there, you are finished!

Nine Inch Nails hat

Winter had finally arrived, and being the huge Nine Inch Nails fan that I am, I didn't have a hat to wear during the winter that sported them at all. Some how, I stumbled upon a great pattern to make my own Nine Inch Nails beanie. April Draven Crochet I had started it, and this was the first project I had done that needed to use any kind of gauge. Well, from this I have learned that I crochet super tightly and my gauge was nothing where it needed to be. So I started over with a bigger hook, and ended up adding more rounds then what was said to use in the pattern. But I learned many new skills in this project, including crocheting an image into a project and a little more of an idea of how to work with gauge. Here is my finished product:

Angry Bird! :)

It took me forever to find a good pattern for this little guy. They have removed this creators pattern from the internet for copyright reasons I believe, but I managed to dig up the PDF some how or another, but I still will give the creators website. ItsyBitsy Spider Crochet.

Panda Bear

I made this Panda for my sister. She had lost a friend named Amanda, and they called her Panda, so her request for me was a Panda bear. I found a wonderful pattern online, Angies Art Studio-Panda Bear. Here is my finished product:

Sailor Moon

I looked all over the web for a decent Sailor Moon pattern. I found some that cost money, and I'm too much of a cheap ass to buy one. So I found how to make a doll, using pieces of the Doll Making Pattern by Beth Webber, and I used a pattern on how to make hair from the websiteAbbyGurumi I made the legs, head, and arms based on her patterns, and the rest I did on my own. Unfortunately, I didn't write the pattern down to share with anyone. Eventually, I want to make all of the Scouts, so I will get one eventually.
And now, Sailor Moons Development:

Tyler's Bombomb

The more I crochet, the more the requests pore in from people. My friend Tyler wanted a Bombom from Super Mario Brothers. He was fairly simple to make. I would also like to give credit to Wolfdreamer again: Bombomb Pattern

Here is my final product:

Robs Minion

The bread guy at work asked for a Minion from Despicable Me because he is in total love with them! So I cranked this guy out pretty quickly. Here is the creator of the pattern that I want to give credit to: Minion Pattern

Progress Images:

And this was the final result:

Arm Covers

My mom had requested that I make some arm covers for her new couches since they didn't come with them. Unfortunately, I did not write out a pattern for this one. I used a book that had many different stitches in it and had her choose what one she like and went from there, measuring the couch arm of course, and then fixing things that I did wrong on the first one in the ones following. This was the first project that I did without a pattern and that took me forever to do!

These are the progress pictures I took as I made them.

And the following is the finished product:

Dawn's Gir: Second Gir

This was the second Gir that I created for a friends ex-wife when they were together.
Here is a link to the pattern that I used and I can't thank the writer enough!Gir Pattern
