Servbot pattern



Disclaimer: Servbot is property of capcom. Only the pattern for this amigurumi is mine.

Ok, I've decided to finally share my servbot pattern. Be warned, there are many tiny pieces that you must sew together. I tried to simplify it so that there would not be as much sewing, but I really do think it came out best the first way I made it. I am also fairly new to designing my own patterns, so this is made with many simple shapes.

This pattern will be for version 1. This means that the neck will be slightly bumpy, but the head will be better proportioned. I will try to be as clear as possible with the pattern, but please feel free to send me a message if something seems confusing. If this is all okay with you, here is the pattern. ^_^

Materials needed:
Worsted weight yarn in gray, yellow, blue, and light blue.
Hooks G and E
Bits of felt in white, black, yellow, and red
Your choice of stuffing
Yarn Needle
Hot Glue Gun

Abbreviations:
ch: chain
sc= single crochet
inc= increase (2 single crochets in 1 stitch)
dec= decrease ( single crochet 2 stitches together)
BLO= back loops only
FLO= front loops only
** = repeat whatever is in between

This will be broken down into parts to help keep track of tiny pieces.

------
Using yellow felt, cut yellow circles and with hot glue gun, sew to body. Use picture for reference.

Use rest of felt to customize the face. For a starting point, my eyes are a little over 5 rows of the head in diameter.


I used face references from The Misadventures of Tron Bonne to create my face. Here are some ideas from the game (unused)


Hope you enjoy this pattern, and once again feel free to send me a message for help!

Please do not sell this pattern or products made from this pattern. Thank you!

Servbot: Dude, chill out!

I've finally made another design!

Servbot from Megaman:


The one on the right is my second version. Nothing has changed but the bottom of his head. I'm still debating whether or not I want to offer this as a free pattern. I have a very busy summer and no job to pay for it all lol. I will EVENTUALLY post it I suppose. Just not any time soon.

Basic Teddy Bear Pattern

I'm so amazed by the response this little bear has gotten. Thanks so much for your support. I love seeing and hearing about your little bears ^^


I thought I would do everyone a favor and update this pattern to make it easier for you to count stitches and attach each part of the bear together. Don't worry! There aren't any major changes. The head is just now closed, and I've given a few minor directions for where to attach everything. Hope this helps you all! 


Basic Teddy Bear
  


MATERIALS
Hook size: E
Recommended Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver SOFT
Note: This will give you a bear that is about 5-6 inches tall. You can increase your hook size to G and use regular red heart super saver solids to give you a bear that will be maybe 7-9 inches tall.
Small bits of black felt for the nose
4.5 mm Safety eyes or in a size of your preference
Hot glue gun


Abbreviations:
sc= single crochet
inc= increase ( 2 single crochets in 1 stitch)
dec= decrease ( single crochet 2 stiches together
BLO= back loops only


Unless otherwise stated, repeat the instructions until the end of the round.

Rnd 11: dec, 4 sc (30)
Rnd 12: 3 sc, dec (24)
Rnd 13: dec, 2 sc (18) After this round sew muzzle to the head and add the safety eyes. The highest point of the muzzle should be between rounds 9 and 10. Make sure to lightly stuff the muzzle before finishing sewing on. Start stuffing the head here, and continue until the end of the pattern.

F/O and flatten leaving tail. Make sure the tail is on one end of the flatten ear. NOTE: The ears will naturally finish in a cup shape. To flatten, just push the cup down. It will then make a flat "U" shape.

2 Sew the head to the body.
3. Sew on the ears (on the side 4-5 rounds down), arms (on the side 1 round below the seam between the head and body) and legs (They are only 1 round apart).
4. OPTIONAL: Tie ribbon around neck.


I hope the changes help everyone! I made another bear using the new changes below. Pretty much the same right? If you need any help, just leave a comment. ^^

I finally found a way to take better looking pictures. I'm no photographer, but I'm still happy with these ^^.

Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask:
Designer: Jennifer Vasseur
Notes: I modified the Sailor Moon pattern to my liking and used the base to create Tuxedo Mask.



Enjoy ^^

A New Blog???

Yes! Because along with bead sprites I also love to make amigurumi. I'm making it a mission to create my own beautiful patterns one day, but first I'll be recreating amigurumi made by talented, experienced plush designers. I will always be sure to give each designer credit.

Unlike bead sprites, I may not be able to sell these creations. However, if I able to sell something, I will post a price.

I hope you all enjoy my creations ^_^.

This is the first amigurumi I ever made back in December 2010. From the anime Sgt. Frog.


Pokeballs
Designer: Linda Potts (http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com)
Notes:
I am a HUGE Linda Potts fan! Most amigurumi I've made so far were designed by her.I first learned to join rounds using this pattern. Since then, I've learned to join cleaner so that the line that goes through each amigurumi is less noticeable.

Notes: This minion from Despicable Me was made as a going away present for a friend of mine who left for the Air Force.

That's it for now. I do have a few others, but I can't post those until after Christmas because they are presents. Anything else you want to see me make?
