These dalmatian puppies are the creation of StitchU. They are so adorable. They each have different colored Suncatcher Eyes and a sweet bow around its neck. Visit StitchU's Etsy shop and get one before they're gone.
Forget lolcatz ... I like checking out Trollflings for a good Awwwwww moment. Click here for their adoption page.
The Grumpies:
Mousy: Doll in progress:
This amigurumi balloon pattern is from me to you. Make as many as you want, but please do not sell the pattern or the balloons you make with it.
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn in color of your choice
Size U.S. E4 crochet hook
Yarn needle
Stuffing
Safety eyes and nose (or embroider your own)
Large Balloon:
Create Magic Ring (Leaving a long tail, ch. 4 and join with sl st to form ring. Work 10 sc in center of ring and around tail. Pull tail tightly to close the hole). Mark beginning of round.
Row 1: 2 sc in each sc around.
Row 2: *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around.
Row 3: 1 sc in each sc around.
Row 4: *1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around.
Row 5: *1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around.
Rows 6-12: 1 sc in each sc around.
Row 13: *1 sc in next 5 sc, sc next 2 together*, repeat from * to * around.
Rows 14-15: 1 sc in each sc around.
Row 16: *1 sc in next 4 sc, sc next 2 together*, repeat from * to * around.
Rows 17-18: 1 sc in each sc around.
Add facial features at this point. Eyes should be positioned in row 11, 9 stitches apart.
Row 19: *1 sc in next 2 sc, sc next 2 together*, repeat from * to * around.
Rows 20-22: 1 sc in each sc around.
Row 23: *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat from * to * around.
Join with sl st and end, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Finishing: Stuff balloon firmly. Attach yarn needle to tail. Sewing in and out of stitches, sew up 2 rows. Sewing in the 21st row, sew up and down around each stitch all the way around and pull tightly. This will form the little scrunched up part at the bottom of the balloon. While pulling tightly, finish off. To hide yarn end, push the yarn needle up through the body of the balloon and out the other side. Pull tightly, and cut. This will hide the yarn inside your work. Using yarn of a contrasting color or ribbon, tie a little bow around the bottom of your balloon. Push a swizzle stick or wooden skewer up through the bottom of your balloon for its string.

This is a sneak peek at my latest crochet pattern. Not sure how it'll come out yet. There are a lot of things to work out. Basically, it's a cute little girl with brown hair and blue eyes, then you flip her hair over, and her undead face is on the other side of her head. The hair then covers the "live" face. I know, I'm sick.
