Natty Narwhal Amigurumi

Ok, so… I made this wicked sick narwhal amigurumi and named it Natty (after the Ubuntu mascot cuz I’m a geek like that) I did it freehand and kinda just winged (wung? lol) it, but here’s a basic pattern for y’all so you too can have a unicorn of the sea 😀

NOTE: Most of this pattern is seamless, so be brave!

MAIN BODY: Ch2

R1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook

R2: 2 sc in each st around (12st)

R3: 1 sc in next, 2 sc in next, Rep around (24st)

R4: 1 sc in next 2 st, 2 sc in next st (48st)

R5: sc around. Rep 5X

R6: 2 sc in next, 1 sc2tog over next 2 st

(if you want to do the fins in seamlessly, here’s right about where to do it… Ch 7, turn, 2 sc, 5 hdc, sc into main body(outside loop only)… turn, 5 hdc, 2 sc, ch 1, turn… 1 slst, 1 sc, 5 hdc, 1 sc into main body(outside loop only)… sc halfway around and rep. for second fin)

R7: sc around. Rep 7X

Stuff firmly! Extra firm if you don’t want to try to stuff into a teeny tiny hole (you can squish the polyfill around at the end to make it even)

R8: 1 sc in next, 1 sc2tog over next 2 st.

R9: sc around. Rep 5X

R10: 1 sc in next, 1 sc2tog over next 2 st.

R11: sc around. Rep 5X

R12: 1 sc in next, 1 sc2tog over next 2 st.

R13: sc2tog until closed.

Pinch ends of tail together and sc (vertical line) should be about 3-4 st. Tie off.

TAIL FIN: Join yarn with sc, 2 more sc along tail seam (only in loops facing you)

R1: ch 1, turn, sc across

R2: Rep R1

R3: Rep R1

R4: ch 2, turn, sc across

R5: Rep R2

R6: Rep R2

R6: turn, sc across

R7: Rep R6

R8: Rep R6

Tie off. Repeat for second tail fin.

HORN: Ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook

R1: 2 sc in each st around (12 st)

R2: sc around. Rep 10X

R3: 2 sc in next st, 1 sc2tog in next st.

Fill very firmly…

R4: sc around. Rep 5X

R5: 1 sc in next st, 1 sc2tog in next st.

R6: sc around. Rep 3-5X

R7: sc2tog until closed

FINISHING: sew eyes on, sew horn on, snip snap done!

Gnomeo Hat

This is a CUTE li’l number I whipped up real quick. It’s super quick and easy 🙂 To get the marbled affect I twisted a sport yarn around a worsted weight yarn. Excellent coloration with minor volume change 🙂 This is great because it can easily be made in any size!! If you need help determining how large to make your hat, try this site on for size: http://www.walkabout.com/shop/size_hat.asp

RIBBED BAND: Ch 10

R1: sc across, ch1, turn

R2: Rep until you reach desired circumfrence.

sc the seam together (make a circle)

R3: sc across the top of ribbed band

R4: hdc around 5-10X (depends on how tall you want it… I did 6)

R5: 1 hdc in next st, 1 hdc2tog over next 2 st

R6: hdc around 3-5X (i did 3)

R7: 1 hdc in next st, 1 hdc2tog over next 2 st

R8: hdc around 5X

FINISHING:

Pinch top together and sc closed. Tie off. I turned mine inside out, but it looks cool either way.

As always, any questions, suggestions, and fixes are welcome!

Enjoy and Happy Hooking!

Hole In The Head Hat

RIBBED BAND: Ch10 (width of band, adjust according to preference)

R1-1Sc in each st across, Ch1, turn

R2-1Sc (in back loop only) in each st across, Ch1, turn

-Continue this pattern until the length of the piece measures the desired circumference of the hat band. (in case you need a little help with how to size your hat- http://www.noggintops.com/page.cfm?p=35)

-Once the hat band is the appropriate size, pinch both ends together and 1Sc or sew in each st down the width of the band. (it should now be a complete circle like a headband)

BODY:

-1Sc in each st along length of band (the loooong way 😉

-1Dc in each st around until you reach desired height of hat.

-1Sc in next st, 1Sc2Tog over next 2 st Repeat once around.

-Count the # of st around last rd and tie off

PONYTAIL BAND:

-Follow the same pattern for the ribbed band you did earlier.

-Continue pattern until you reach the same # of st you counted from the last rd on the body.

FINISHING

Sew or Sc the ponytail band to the body and VOILA! cute hat with ponytail capability 🙂

I wanna see what you guys come up with 🙂 Don’t be shy! If you have any questions or suggestions or just want to show off your handiwork, please do!!
