Crochet World Globe Pattern

 



This is the pattern I used to make this globe.

Microamigurumi Duck Pattern Idea



I made the pattern for this duck up. I never got it exactly how I wanted it, but here is a general idea of what I did for the next time I try to make a duck.

Body:
1. 8 SC in magic circle
2. (Sc, inc)*4 - 12
3. (2 sc, inc)*4 - 16
4-7. Sc around - 16
8. In the 1st stitch of each round from now on sl st + ch 1, then continue with pattern. 3 sc, Dec, 6 sc, 2 inc, 3 sc - 17
9. Sc, Dec, sc, Dec, 11 SC - 15
10. 3 Dec, 4 sc, Dec, 3 sc - 11
Stuff
11. 4 Dec, 3 sc - 7
12. Do not join. Ch 1, pinch top and bottom rows together and crochet through both top and bottom. 3 sc across
13. Ch 1, turn, 3 sc. Finish off

Head:
1. 8 SC in magic circle
2. (Sc, inc)*4 - 12
3. (2 sc, inc)*4 - 16
4-5. Sc around
6. (Sc, Dec)*4 - 12
7. Dec around until closed. Finish off

Bill:
In magic circle, sc 4
(2 hdc in 1st st, hdc in next)*2 -6

Crochet Penguin Pacifier Clip




I revised the penguin pattern from this pattern then added the strap and clip.



Penguin: In white
Ch 4
1. Beginning in 2nd ch, sc across - 3
2. Ch 1, turn, inc, sc, inc - 5
3. Ch 1, turn, 2 sc, inc, 2 sc - 6
4-9. Ch 1, turn, sc across - 6
10. Ch 1, turn, 3 dec - 3
11. Ch 1, turn, sc across - 3
12. Ch 1, turn, 3 inc - 6
13-15. Ch 1, turn, sc across - 6
16. Ch 1, turn, 1 sc, 3 dc in next st, 2 sc, 3 dc in next, 1 sc
17. This is the general pattern for single crocheting around the penguin: 4 sc, sl st (in narrow part of neck), (2 sc, inc)*3, (this should be working across the bottom:) inc, sc, inc, (inc, 2 sc)*3, sl st (in narrow part of neck), 4 sc, sl st in the base of row 16, finish off.

In black:
Joining in the sc after the sl st in the neck, 29 sc (this should bring you up to the sl st in the other side of the neck), sl st in sl st, 4 sc, 2 sc in next st, 2 hdc in next st, 2 dc in each of the next 2 st, (to make the peak, in the next 2 st dc, dc2tog, dc), 2 dc in each of the next 2 st), 2 hdc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 4 st, sl st in sl st and finish off.

Wings: In black
In 7th stitch from the narrow part of the neck, attach yarn with a slip stitch and chain 6.
Turn, sc in 4th ch from hook, hdc, 2 dc, (you will now be working in the actual penguin - and the next stitch will be made into the same stitch that you joined with a sl st in) 2 dc in each of the next 3 st, hdc in each of the next 2 stitches, sc, sl st, finish off.

Embroider on the eyes and beak

Strap: You can make the strap using any bookmark pattern. After you finish, attach the thread to the middle stitch, chain a chain long enough for the clip to fit through, then attach the end of the chain to the strap, creating a loop.

Attach the clip to the top of the head by sc across and through the clip rod.

Tail:

Pull really tight so it buckles like a sausage casing end.

Bun: in tan
Ch 13
1. Beginning 2nd ch from hook, sc 11, inc in last stitch, sc 11 in the back loops 
*After round 2, measure the bun against the dog to see if it's long enough. You may want to add or take away from the starting chain to fit your dog better.*
2-20. Sc around - 22
*How far you want your bun to wrap around the dog is up to you - you can add it subtract rounds as desired.*
Finish off and sew shut

Assemble the dog then add the legs.

Legs: Make 4
Below is the original pattern. I ended up just making a bobble directly on the body for each leg because it was such a small piece to work with
(1. 4 sc in magic circle
2. (Inc, 2 sc)*2 - 6
3-4. Sc around - 6
Finish off)

When the dog is completely assembled, embroider yellow and red thread for ketchup and mustard.
