About the crochet terms

I use US crochet terms for my patterns. However, as you may know US crochet terms are different than UK crochet
terms. Here is a chart for you to see them both.

US Crochet Term UK Crochet Term

Chain (ch) Chain (ch)

Single Crochet (sc) Double Crochet (dc)
Double Crochet (dc) Treble Crochet (tr)
Half Double Crochet (hdc) Half Treble Crochet (htr)
Triple Crochet (trc) Double Treble Crochet (dtr)

Abbreviations Used

sl st = slip stitch ch = chain inc = increase

st = stitch sc = single crochet inv dec = invisible decrease
sts = stitches rep = repeat blo = back loops only
hdc = half double crochet

About the pattern

Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed. It would be wise to use a stitch marker &
place it in the first stitch of the round to mark the beginning of it. Move the marker up to the first stitch of the next round
after finishing the previous one.

If you need to change colour, do it always at the end of the previous round. Start the last stitch of the round with the old
colour. Change the colour right before you draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch.

You can easily sew the toy together when you leave each piece a long enough yarn tail.

Stitch Explanation

Invisible decrease: Insert the hook into the **front loop** of the first stitch (2 loops on hook). **Do NOT yarn over**
Insert the hook into the **front loop** of the next stitch. In order to do this, you’ll need to swing the hook down first so
you can insert the hook under the front loop. (3 loops on hook)
Yarn over & draw through the first two loops on the hook. (2 loops on hook)
Yarn over & draw through both loops on the hook. You’ve done your invisible decrease.
Increase: Two single crochet into one stitch.

Comments

In this pattern most of the parts start with a magic ring. If you don’t want to use that, you can easily start like this:

Chain 2. Work 6 sc in the first chain. Continue to round 2

P.S. *2 sc, inc* meaning: *sc in each of next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st*

Pupil: DMC black cotton, 1.75mm hook

Mr. 3 sc [3 sts] Cut a long enough thread tail for sewing the pupils onto the white parts.

LET’S ASSEMBLE STICK MAN

Eyes: Start counting from top ( just below you see the front loop stitches ) to down & sew the eyes between 5th & 7th lines.

***Line*** is the gap / holes between the two rounds.

Sew the eyes with whip stitch by going through both loops of the white piece. Leave 2 holes between the eyes.

Page Eight
TatieSoftToys2016
Nose: Leave only one line between the nose and the eyes & sew the nose more or less in the middle of the eyes.

Mouth: Use DMC cotton perle black to embroider the mouth.

Use the 6 holes right below the nose, create the nose by going in and out of the 1st & the 6th holes twice. In order to form a smiley lip go down
to the second hole & make 3 little fly stitches.

Eyebrows: With DMC perle cotton black.

It’s pretty much like embroidering the mouth. Use 3 holes just above the eyes & go in and out twice to get the thickness we want. And then into
the hole above make a little fly stitch to create a nice eyebrow shape.

As you can see in the photos his eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are nicely done. Also his arms are sewn.

Arms: Leave 2 lines between the bottom of his lip and the arms. Sew the arms nicely on each side of his body.

***Remember to sew the right arm on his right side and the left arm on his left side***

TatieSoftToys2016
Leaves & Stalks:

1: Sew the leaves on the stalks & secure by making a double knot
with the both yarn tails (we have two yarn tails on the leaf, one we
are sewing with and the other one we left before we made the
chain) on the back side of the leaf.

2: As for the stalks, thread the long yarn tail through an embroidery
needle & make two stitches in the middle / inside of the two stalks
(inside V shape) to bring the two stalks together and make the
whole stalk sturdier.

3: Sew one of the stalks with the leaves in the middle back side of
his head. Sew the other stalk with leaves on his left arm just above
his elbow.
