Crochet Stationary Case
Materials Needed:
- Milk cotton yarn
- 3 mm crochet hook
- Color choices: Pink for My Melody, White for Cinnamoroll and Baku, Yellow for Pompompurin
Base Pattern (Rounds 1-5):
For Round 1:
- Start with a slip knot, then chain 39. Starting from the second chain from the hook, make 37 single crochets (sc) across, then 3 sc in the last chain. Now working on the other side of the chain, make 36 sc and finish with 3 sc in the last stitch.
Round 2:
- Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch of the previous round, chain 1. Make 37 sc, then perform 3 increases (2 sc in the same stitch) at the curve of the base, then 36 sc, and finish with 3 increases at the other end. Join with a slip stitch.
Round 3-5:
- Treat each round similarly, starting with a chain 1 and following the pattern's expansion by making single crochets around the oval shape of the base, adding appropriate increases at the curves to maintain the shape. The base finishes at round 5.
Body (Rounds 6-21):
In Round 6:
- Start crocheting in the back loop only for the whole round. Chain 1, then make 115 sc. Join with a slip stitch.
Rounds 7-9:
- Make 1150 sc in each round (this seems to be a transcription error, likely meant to be 115 sc, matching round 6). Change color accordingly at the end of round 9 if necessary (to white for My Melody, for example).
Rounds 10-21:
- Continue with the appropriate color (switch to pink for My Melody as per instruction), maintaining the stitch count as per the pattern's design for each round until round 21. The pattern includes a decrease strategy around rounds 20-21 to start forming the taper for the stationary case opening.
Finishing Touches:
- After completing the body, change color if needed, depending on the character, and crochet ears and face details.
Ears:
- The pattern here would involve creating a slip knot, chaining 21, then proceeding to crochet a rounded ear shape that includes increases and possibly some hdc or dc stitches for the curvature. Repeat for both ears.
Eyes and Nose:
- Depending on the character, embroider or crochet the eyes and nose using contrasting colored yarns. Eyes often consist of making small circles or ovals by crocheting in the round.
Accessories:
- Like bows or other character-specific details, they are typically made by crocheting small rectangles or specific shapes and attaching them to the case.
Final Assembly:
- Sew or attach all parts together, ensuring the ears and face parts are securely in place.
- Add any additional details like crochet chains for securing the case or additional decorative elements.
