Hi, dear crocheters!
How are you? My name is Fernando
wellcome back to GanchiGurumi.
I don't know if you also keep your tails,
like I do,
to recycle them in other projects.
For exemple, you can use them as stuff
for your amigurumi.
If so, you may not know where to keep them.
So in today's video I'm showing you
how to make a "tails-eater"
with a pumpkin pincushion
for Halloween!
If you also wish a personalized MyGurumi,
go to my Etsy shop and order yours!
Materials you'll need:
Cotton yarn for a 3.5 mm hook,
3 mm hook,
scissors,
polyfill stuff,
yarn needle,
12 mm safety eyes,
embroidery thread
and a bottle.
Let's begin!
PUMPKIN TAILS-EATER
Ok, we're beginning.
**It will be so funny!**
As always, we're making:
R1: MR (6)
R2: *INC* x6 (12)
We're making the increases
as we always do
until R7 with 42 stitches.
So,
R3: *1 sc, INC* x6 (18)
R4: *2 sc, INC* x6 (24)
R5: *3 sc, INC* x6 (30)
R6: *4 sc, INC* x6 (36)
And finally,
R7: *5 sc, INC* x6 (42)
Next,
we're making 7 rounds without increases.
R8-R14: 42 sc
Next,
we're making rounds with decreases
to close the ball.
So,
R15: *5 sc, DEC* x6 (36)
R16: *4 sc, DEC* x6 (30)
R17: *3 sc, DEC* x6 (24)
And for the moment
we stop there to place
the safety eyes.
I continue crocheting and see you later!
Ok,
R17 with 42 sc
is finished.
Remember, 7 rounds without increases
but you can make as many as you want.
And then rounds with decreases to close.
And stop when you believe you won't have
space enough to work in the inside.
So let's place the safety eyes!
Use pins to check the position.
And pay attention to
the beginning of each round
as I show in this video.
Eyes are placed between R12 and R13
from top to bottom
**Remember: 12 mm safety eyes between R12-R13**
with a separation of 12 stitches.
If you find it's too much,
let just 10 stitches.
Now we can close completely
the ball with decreases.
So,
R18: *2 sc, DEC* x6 (18)
R19: *1 sc, DEC* x6 (12)
Stuff with polyfill.
**Stuff well**
Stuff as you go if needed.
And close!
Finally,
we need to transform the ball
into a pumpkin.
So we're making the lines
with the same tail of the ball
or with another thread of the same color.
You decide!
(I'd love to know if there's a name in English for a pumpkin lines! lol)
Ok,
I'm making all the lines
and see you later!
As you can see,
I've already made the face.
Isn't it so cute?
You can embroider the face
in the same way I did,
or make your own cute face!
Now we're making the stem
with green yarn.
So,
R1: MR (6)
We're making another sequence.
R2: *2 sc, INC* x2 (8)
R3: 8 sc (BLO)
Don't insert the hook here,
but here.
So 8 sc in BLO.
R4: 8 sc
This time as always.
Stuff a little.
As I explain in this video,
about tricks and tips,
you can use tweezers.
R5: *2 sc, DEC* x2 (6)
Finally,
R6: 6 sc
With the tail,
sew it onto the pumpkin.
Now just make the tails-eater.
You can finish here to make
just an amigurumi pumpkin.
Or like me, you can use it as pincushion
to decorate the tails-eater.
You can make a cover for the bottle
like in this video,
(so you hide the inside)
or make a cover for the lid.
This way, the inside is visible
with all the tails.
I think it will be funny!
I already made it
because it's so easy
with the same sequence of the pumpkin.
You start with a MR (6),
**Adapt the sequence to the size of your bottle**
Next 6 INC (12),
then *1 sc, INC* x6 (18),
*2 sc, INC* x6 (24),
and so on
until you cover all the lid or the bottle.
Make the circle a bit bigger
to cover well when making the rounds without INC.
If you can see the lid,
it will be too tight.
Next, make a round without INC in BLO
to draw the line and make the bend.
In my case, I've crocheted
until R9
with 54 sc.
Next, a round of 54 sc in BLO
and a normal round of 54 sc.
This is how it looks like.
Remember to cover your lid or bottle
not to let any part visible.
TIP
In spiral, there is a step in the work
so the lid can be seen.
More or less like this.
How to avoid this?
Here's the beginning and finish of my rounds
(indentify it with the line of the BLO).
You just need to crochet some more sc
and 2 or 3 slip stitches
to hide the step
and cover all the lid.
**Tails-eater with pumpkin pincushion**
Well, this was all!
Now you have a cute tails-eater
and a new pincushion.
You can make any other amigurumi,
I made a pumpkin because Halloween's coming.
