How to Make Jigglypuff Fingerless Gloves
Are you a fan of Pokémon and want to show off your love for the adorable Jigglypuff? Look no further! In this tutorial, we will guide you step by step on how to create your very own Jigglypuff fingerless gloves. These gloves not only keep your hands warm but also feature the iconic face of Jigglypuff. Let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials you will need for this project. Here's a list:
- Two base gloves (pattern available on craftit.com)
- White yarn
- Baby blue yarn
- Yarn needle
- Pins
- Scissors
- Poly fiber (optional for stuffing)
- Felt or additional yarn for the mouth (optional)
Now that we have everything ready, let's begin the process!
Step 1: Finding the Pattern
To create the base gloves, you can find the pattern on craftit.com. Follow the instructions provided in the pattern to knit or crochet the gloves. Ensure that you have two base gloves ready before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Making the Eyes
The first feature we'll add to our gloves is Jigglypuff's eyes. To make the eyes, we will start with white yarn. Begin by creating a magic ring, then crochet eight single crochets inside the ring. Alternatively, if you are not familiar with the magic ring technique, you can start with two chains and crochet eight single crochets in the second chain from the hook.
Once you finish crocheting the eight single crochets, pull the string tight to close the ring. Use a slip stitch to secure it. Next, grab the baby blue yarn and join it. Start with two single crochets in the same stitch, followed by two half double crochets in the same stitch. Repeat this pattern to create Jigglypuff's eyes, ensuring that you hide the yarn strands as you go along.
Step 3: Creating the Jigglypuff's Curl
Now it's time to make Jigglypuff's signature curl. Begin by creating a magic ring and crochet six single crochets inside the ring. Pull the yarn tight to close the ring. Repeat this pattern for six rounds, ensuring you have six stitches per round.
For the seventh round, crochet two single crochets in the same stitch twice. After that, continue with regular single crochets all the way around. Keep count and use stitch markers if needed.
Continue crocheting single crochets for rounds eight to twelve. When you reach the twelfth round, crochet two single crochets together five times to close the top of the curl. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Step 4: Sewing the Curl and Eyes onto the Gloves
To attach the Jigglypuff's curl, use pins to place it on the glove and hold it in place. If needed, you can stuff the curl with poly fiber to give it a fuller appearance. Once positioned, use a yarn needle to sew the curl onto the glove. Sew back and forth, going between the stitches, until the curl is securely attached.
Next, sew the eyes onto the gloves in the desired position. Use the same yarn needle and go between stitches to ensure the eyes are tightly secured. If desired, you can also add a mouth using yarn or felt.
Congratulations! You have successfully created your own Jigglypuff fingerless gloves. Now you can proudly wear them and show off your Pokémon fandom.
Optional Step: Adding a Mouth
If you want to add Jigglypuff's mouth to the gloves, you can draw it using yarn or attach a piece of felt in the shape of a mouth. Get creative and customize your gloves to your liking.
