The Making of a New Pokemon
Welcome back, trainers! Today, I'm going to show you how to create a new Pokemon. This little guy is called Derpy Side Up, and he's sure to bring a smile to your face. Get ready to unleash your creativity as we dive into the world of crafting and design. So, let's get started!
Creating the Body
To begin, we'll need some yellow yarn. With this, we'll create the body of our Derpy Side Up. Start by making 8 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. This will form the base of the body. Once you've completed the stitches, close the circle by pulling the yarn tightly. Now, we're going to use a bobby pin as a stitch marker for the next round.
In round two, we're going to increase in the next two stitches. This means we'll be adding two stitches in each of these two places. After that, we'll add one stitch in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have a total of 12 single crochet stitches.
Continue increasing in the next three stitches in round three, followed by one stitch in each of the next three stitches. By the end of this round, you should have 18 single crochet stitches.
For rounds four through six, maintain a total of 20 single crochet stitches. Simply work one single crochet stitch in each stitch around for the next three rounds.
In round seven, we're going to decrease to 18 single crochet stitches. To do this, perform a decrease stitch in the first stitch, followed by one stitch in each of the next eight stitches. Repeat this pattern once more.
For round eight, we'll decrease in all stitches, resulting in a total of 9 single crochet stitches.
Building the Tail
To create the tail, make 4 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Keep the tension tight to form a compact tail. In the second round, maintain four single crochet stitches by working one stitch in each stitch around.
Crafting the Arms
For the arms, make 6 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. As with the tail, keep the tension tight to create a solid foundation. As before, maintain six single crochet stitches in round two.
To make the arms webbed, slip stitch across the top to close it shut. Then, add two chain stitches and slip stitch back into the first chain. Repeat this pattern twice more to create the webbed effect. Cut a long tail to complete the arm.
Designing the Webbed Feet
For the webbed feet, we'll start by making 6 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Keep the tension tight, just like before. In the second round, maintain six single crochet stitches.
Next, slip stitch across the top to close it shut. Add two chain stitches and slip stitch back into the first chain. Repeat this pattern twice more to create the webbed effect. Cut a long tail to complete the webbed foot.
Constructing the Bill
To make the bill, we'll begin by making 12 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Keep the tension firm to create a compact shape. Maintain twelve single crochet stitches in the next two rounds.
In round three, we'll decrease in one stitch and then work a single crochet stitch in each of the next four stitches. Repeat this pattern once more. By the end of this round, you should have 10 single crochet stitches.
To shape the bill further, slip stitch in the next two stitches. In the following stitch, work a half double crochet stitch and then another in the same stitch. Finish the round by slip stitching in the next three stitches.
Adding the Side Ox Hair
Using yellow yarn, make 6 single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Slip stitch back into the first chain and cut a long tail. This will create the side ox hair tufts.
Assembling the Psyduck
Now that we've completed all the individual components, it's time to bring our Psyduck together. Follow the instructions and stitch the body, tail, arms, webbed feet, bill, and side ox hair into their designated positions. Use a tapestry needle and the remaining yarn tails to secure each piece securely.
And there you have it – your very own Derpy Side Up, a new addition to the Pokemon world! Display it proudly or give it to someone special as a unique gift. Get creative and experiment with different colors and variations to make your own one-of-a-kind Pokemon creations.
