Bowser – Super Smash Saturday 28

Here we are, back to our regularly scheduled Super Smash Saturdays! We are on the last row of the character roster, I can’t believe how fast time has gone, this event is nearly over!

The character for today is Bowser. Most people are familiar with this character, the antagonist in the Mario games. Even though he’s technically a villain, he is still a lovable character.

Without further ado, here is Bowser! I gave him his wrist bracelets, complete with spikes, and also a nice fluffy mohawk.

The next character up on the list is Wario!

This event is a CAL/weekly challenge, so if anyone wants to join in and create your own version of Wario for next Saturday you are more than welcome to! Use #supersmashtokyo to share your projects and tag me on Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet

Sonic – Super Smash Saturday 27

It’s another catch up day for the Super Smash Saturday event! The character this time is Sonic!

Sonic is a memorable character for me, not just in the Super Smash games but in general. I remember waking up every Saturday morning, super excited to watch Sonic X or Sonic Underground. I am definitely looking forward to the Sonic movie now that they re-did it. Sonic honestly looks way better than the first go around. 😆

Here is my version of Sonic! His hair/spikes were interesting to make, but I like the end result.

The character for this Saturday is Bowser!

Ness – Super Smash Saturday 26

It’s Super Smash… Tuesday!? I ran out of time (again😅) to get the next character finished by Saturday and I’m behind by two characters, so instead it’s a Super Smash Tuesday to try and catch up a little.

The character of the week is Ness. I’m pretty terrible at playing as Ness in the Super Smash games, but that’s okay since there are so many other characters!

The next character is Sonic, and if all goes to plan I’ll be posting him in the next couple days. After that it’s on to Bowser, who should resume the regularly scheduled Super Smash Saturdays.

2020 Year of the Rat Pattern

2020 is the year of the rat, and what better way is there to start the new year than with a new pattern?

This year, it’s my resolution to grow this crochet business! I’ll be releasing more patterns (both free and paid), and will be expanding my inventory for conventions. I’m also thinking it may be time to redesign my logo, but that one is more of a stretch goal.

2020 Rat Pattern

Materials:

White yarn (or your color of choice)
Pink yarn (or your color of choice for ear insides)
Crochet hook (I used a G hook)
- You can use any size crochet hook; keep in mind that the size of the finished rat will vary based on the hook you use
6mm safety eyes
Stuffing
Felt (black for the nose, pink for blush (optional))
Hot glue (I use hot glue for assembly; if you’d like to sew the pieces together to assemble, leave a long tail after finishing off with a slip stitch)

Abbreviations:

MC = magic circle
SC = single crochet
INC = increase
DEC = decrease
SL = slip stitch
CH = chain
* = repeat around

Body:

Using white yarn…
- R1: SC 4 in MC (4)
- R2: SC 1, INC * (6)
- R3: SC 2, INC * (8)
- R4: SC 3, INC * (10)
- R5: SC 4, INC * (12)
- R6: SC 5, INC * (14)

Place the safety eyes between R4 and R5, about 4 stitches apart – begin stuffing!

R20: SC 3, DEC * (16)
- R21: SC 2, DEC * (12)
- R22: SC 1, DEC * (8)
Finish stuffing, then finish off with 1 SL – leave a tail to sew the opening closed

Cut a small triangle from black felt (for the nose) and two small circles/ovals from pink felt (for the optional blush). Use hot glue to attach the felt pieces to the face as pictured below:

Lucario – Super Smash Saturday 25

This week is another pokemon! This Lucario didn’t really come out exactly as I had wanted, but that’s okay! Writing up crochet patterns takes a lot of trial and error, and it gets better with every pass through.

Next week’s character up on the roster is Ness!

This event is a CAL/weekly challenge, so if anyone wants to join in and create your own version of Ness for next Saturday you are more than welcome to! Use #supersmashtokyo to share your projects and tag me on Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet

Wolf – Super Smash Saturday 24

Its Wolf for this week’s Super Smash Saturday! He came out pretty similar to Fox, just with different colors.

The next character is Lucario!

This event is a CAL/weekly challenge, so if anyone wants to join in and create your own version of Lucario for next Saturday you are more than welcome to! Use #supersmashtokyo to share your projects and tag me on Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet

King Dedede – Super Smash Saturday 23

It’s that time of the week again, Super Smash Saturday! Today’s character is King Dedede. I decided to make a coaster version for him, similar to the Kirby Coaster.

It uses the same base pattern, so if you wanted to make your own King Dedede coaster, you could use the kirby coaster pattern and just change the felt designs added on top.

The next character is Wolf!

This event is a CAL/weekly challenge, so if anyone wants to join in and create your own version of Wolf for next Saturday you are more than welcome to! Use #supersmashtokyo to share your projects and tag me on Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet

Ice Climbers – Super Smash Saturday 22

Its Ice Climbers! I always found them to be an annoying opponent to play against, but their design is really cute!

The next character is King Dedede. This event is a CAL/weekly challenge, so if anyone wants to join in and create your own version of King Dedede for next Saturday you are more than welcome to! Use #supersmashtokyo to share your projects and tag me on Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet

Ganondorf – Super Smash Bros 21

Its time for Ganondorf, the villain of the Legend of Zelda series!

I didn’t have the colors quite right, and had to simplify his details, but with the overall look, it still comes across as Ganondorf.

Next up is Ice Climbers! I may or may not make both of them, it will depend on how the week goes 😅

This event is a CAL/weekly challenge, so if anyone wants to join in and create your own version of Ice Climbers for next Saturday you are more than welcome to! Use #supersmashtokyo to share your projects and tag me on Instagram @tokyodragon.crochet

Next week is Ganondorf!
