FJP: In it, he praises Nordic rationality and The Economist’s recent feature on it, which we also enjoyed reading.
All the bigwigs want to get in on Reddit now.
As requested, if knitting isn’t your bag, don’t despair, there’s some super cute Doctor Who inspired Crochet projects as well!
I know the picture is pretty bad but I had to take a picture quick before my husband left. I made a hook case using this pattern. I messed up in a few places though. :/
Someone made a crocheted Pusheen and sells it on etsy, but I thought it’s rather expensive and so I made my own cute little Pusheen. It is really easy to make, so I decided to write it down. A pdf version with more photos and better information may follow soon.
So~ you need a light grey yarn and a corresponding hook. I don’t know what size my yarn is, but it fits a 2.0mm hook perfectly and my pusheen is only 4cm long (without the tail). Also, dark grey and black sewing thread, and black safety eyes or beads. I used 4mm safety eyes for mine. The stitches used are Single Crochet (sc), inc (increase) and dec (decrease).
Now for the Body~
Start with 6 sc in Magic Ring (6)
1) Inc every stitch (12)
2) sc in next stitch, inc (18)
3) sc in next 2 stitches, inc (24)
4) sc in next 3 stitches, inc (30)
5-18) sc in next 30 stitches (30); put on the eyes and sew on the nose, whiskers and stripes
19) sc in next 3 stitches, dec (24); begin stuffing
20) sc in next 2 stitches, dec (18)
21) sc in next stitch, dec (12)
22) dec (6)
23-28) sc in next 6 stitches (6); this will make the tail
Bind off and sew the hole closed.
The Ears~ (make 2)
5 Sc in Magic Ring
1) increase every stitch (10)
2) sc in next 10 stitches (10)
Bind off, leave a long tail and sew to the body.
That’s all :D I think it is very easy~
