Fatty Lumpkin progress
I've been making tracks on the crochet motifs for my Fatty Lumpkin horse. The final stuffed animal is assembled out of 17 pentagons, 15 hexagons, and a handful of heptagons, quardragons and trigons. The final product, crocheted and assembled by a pro, would look something like this:
So far, my pony looks like this:
It took me a while to make the first pentagon because it wouldn't lay flat, I had to decrease some of the double crochets to half-double crochets, but I sorted it out. Now I can do about one motif per episode of Daredevil. Or Deep Space Nine, depending.

how do I make the triangle to lay flat
ReplyDeleteI modified some of the motifs to make them lie flatter. For the triangle it looks like I did the following:
ReplyDeleteReplace round 1 with 3x (2 single crochet + 1 chain) on a magic loop.
Combine rounds 2+3 into: 3x (7 double crochet into chain stitch).
Combine rounds 4+5 into: 3x (hdc in next 6 dc, 1 hdc+1chain+1hdc in 7th dc)
You still end up with 27 total stitches and the motif does not bulge so much.
