After crocheting Squirtle and Charmander following Jonas Matthies patterns, of course, a Bulbasaur had to be made to complete the trio. Since I didn't have a pattern at hand, I had to try it myself. For my first attempt at making an amigurumi without a pattern, Bulbasaur turned out great! I'm very satisfied, only the head is still a bit too round. Unfortunately, I've used up my last pair of safety eyes, so the next attempt will have to wait a bit. Nevertheless, anyone who wants a cute but not quite perfect Bulbasaur is welcome to crochet it
Pattern
| Feet (4x) | |
| R1 |
Crochet 5 single crochets into a magic ring (= 5 sts) |
| R2 |
Double every single crochet (= 10 sts) |
| R3 |
Crochet only into the back loop: 10 single crochets (= 10 sts) |
| R4 |
10 single crochets (= 10 sts) |
|
Crochet four feet. Leave a longer tail on the first three feet to sew them together later. |
| Body | |
| R5 |
(The pictures are from Mo and have more stitches, but the principle is exactly the same.) |
| R6 | 28 single crochets (= 28 sts) |
| R7 | Decrease every 5th and 6th stitch together (= 20 sts) |
| Now is a good time to sew the feet together and close the "hole" (right picture). | |
| R8 | Decrease every 4th and 5th stitch together (= 16 sts) |
| R9 | Decrease every 3rd and 4th stitch together (= 12 sts) |
| Stuff the body well. Pay a little attention to the feet so that they are not too "plump" and become round. | |
| R10 | Decrease every 1st and 2nd stitch together (= 6 sts) |
| Cut the thread generously and sew the hole together. |
| Leaf (4x) | |
| R1 |
Chain 2 |
| R2 |
Turn, work 2 single crochet (sc) into the second chain from the hook (= 2 sts) |
| R3 |
Turn, ch 1, work 2 sc in each sc (= 4 sts) |
| R4 |
Turn, ch 1, work 1 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 1 sc (= 6 sts) |
| R5 |
Turn, ch 1, work 1 sc, 4 sc in next sc, 1 sc (= 10 sts) |
| R6 |
Turn, ch 1, work 10 sc (= 10 sts) |
| R7 |
Turn, ch 1, sc2tog, 6 sc, sc2tog (= 8 sts) |
| R8 |
Turn, ch 1, sc2tog, 4 sc, sc2tog (= 6 sts) |
| R9 |
Turn, ch 1, sc2tog, 2 sc, sc2tog (= 4 sts) |
| R10 |
Turn, ch 1, sc2tog twice (= 2 sts) |
| R11 |
Turn, ch 1, sc2tog (= 1 sts) |
| R12 |
Turn, ch 1, 1 sc (= 1 sts) |
| R13 |
Turn, ch 1, 1 sc (= 1 sts) |
| R14 |
Turn, ch 1, 1 sc (= 1 sts) |
| R15 |
Turn, sl st |
|
Cut the yarn for each leaf long enough to sew two leaves together, or use a separate thread for sewing. |
Sew the thread along the edge of each leaf until about row 10 (but do not secure it yet!). Once all four leaves are sewn together, turn the bud inside out. This will highlight the inward-facing edges more clearly.
If there is a too large hole at the top of the bud, sew it together with a separate thread. Then stuff the bud. Next, "pull" and knot the side threads and secure them. This will further help to accentuate the edges.
Finally, sew the bud onto the body.
| Head | |
| R1 | Chain 5 |
| R2 |
3 sc, 1 sc inc, 3 sc, 1 sc inc (= 10M) |
| R3 |
4 sc, 3 sc in one sts, 4 sc, 3 sc in one sts (= 14 sts) |
| R4 |
5 sc, 3 sc in one sts, 6 sc, 3 sc in one sts, 1 sc (= 18 sts) |
| R5 | 18 sc (= 18 sts) |
| R6 | 18 sc (= 18 sts) |

| R8 |
4 sc, sc3tog, 4 sc, sc3tog (= 10 sts) |

| Cut yarn and sew up the hole. |

Ch 2, 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook (= 2 sts) |
Sew two ears together and then sew onto the head. Then sew the head onto the body.
