New Mang Crochet Pattern

Two weeks ago I came up with a pattern to crochet the new Mang and a lot of people were interested in the pattern. I started filming it for YouTube but since I have a lot of ongoing projects it is taking longer than I expected. So I asked if people would be interested in the written version if they don’t want to wait for the video. This version has no photos, just written instructions but I hope it will be enough for you to make your own. The video version will be available in a few weeks.

Note: Do not redistribute this pattern or use the finished doll for commercial purposes, thank you.

Rnd 51: [1 sc, dec] x 6 times (12)
Rnd 52: dec 5 times (7)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Finish stuffing. With a yarn needle, insert your thread in each front loop of last stitch and pull the thread to close the hole.

ARMS: (lavender)
Make a magic ring
Rnd 1: 5 sc in center of the ring (5)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in each st around (10)
Rnd 3 to 12: sc in each st around (10)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Stuff the arms but do not stuff too much on top.
There are two ways you can attach the arms to the body. I like to sew the arms shut with the remaining thread and glue them to the body. If you prefer you can sew the arms directly to the body.

EARS: (lavender and light blue)
Make a magic ring with lavender color
Rnd 1: 6 sc in center of the ring (6)
Rnd 2: 2 sc in next 3 stitches (change to B on last stitch), 2 sc in next 3 stitches (change to L on last stitch) (12)
Rnd 3: [1 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to B on last stitch), [1 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to L on last stitch) (18)
Rnd 4: [2 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to B on last stitch), [2 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to L on last stitch) (24)
Rnd 5: [3 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to B on last stitch), [3 sc, inc] x 3 times (change to L on last stitch) (30)
Rnd 6 to 7: 15 sc (change to B), 15 sc (change to L) (30)
Rnd 8: [3 sc, dec] x 2 times, 2 sc, dec, 1 sc (change to B), [3 sc, dec] x 3 times (change to L) (24)
Rnd 9: 12 sc (change to B), 12 sc (24)
Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. Flatten the ear and sew it shut with the remaining thread. Fold the ears at the bottom and glue them to the head. (I find it easier this way than sewing them directly to the head)

SCARF: (light blue color)
Make a slip knot in your hook and crochet a chain of 40 stitches.
Row 1: 14 sc, 3 hdc, 1 dc, in next stitch [1 dc, ch 1, 1 dc], 3 hdc, 17 sc.
Fasten off and weave in your remaining thread. 

That's it. I hope you enjoy this pattern and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me on IG at Pyroprincess7. If you find any typos let me know as I did not get this pattern tested for it. (hopefully I didn't make any typos). Happy crocheting!

Crochet Keychain Tutorials

I have two new tutorials on youtube to crochet very cute keychains: cat, strawberry, and tangerine keychains. I am currently making a bunch to give away as freebies at a concert I am going to and decided to share my pattern in case anybody would be interested to make their own.

They are very easy and take no time to make. I used Caron Simply Soft and a 2.75mm hook but you can pick any type of yarn or crochet size.

I hope you will enjoy these tutorials and if you like them or have any questions please let me know in the comments! Happy crocheting!

New YouTube Tutorial

I just uploaded a new tutorial on my YouTube Channel! it’s a cute Purple heart plant inspired by Valentine’s day. The plant is about 8 inches tall, but the final size will depend on your yarn and crochet hook. I used a 4/medium acrylic yarn (Caron Simply Soft) and a 2.75mm hook. You will need some metallic wire for this project to wrap the leaves and stem. It’s quite easy to make, it only took me one day to crochet. I hope you will enjoy this tutorial, happy crocheting!

Astronaut Crochet Pattern

Last month I crocheted an astronaut inspired by the song “The Astronaut” by Jin of BTS. It turned out so cute I decided to share the pattern in case anybody would be interested to make their own. I ended up making two dolls, one for myself and another to write the pattern.

I made a stand for the first doll and customized the backpack with the BTS logo and print transfers of RJ and Wootteo. I also wrote lyrics from the first verse of the song on the back of the stand.

The pattern is available on ETSY. The doll is about 9 inches tall and crocheted with a 4/medium yarn (I used Caron Simply Soft) and a 2.75mm hook. It is very easy to make, I put a lot of photos to add to the instructions. The pattern does not include the stand but I am going to make a YouTube tutorial for it very soon

Astronaut Pattern – ETSY

If you have any questions about this pattern don’t hesitate to ask me! I wish you all a happy new year with lots of smiles and laughter and lots of yarn and happy craft projects!

Shooky Halloween Version

I uploaded a tutorial to make a Halloween version of Shooky. The base (body, arms, and legs) are the same as the original Shooky Tutorial, I just added wings and horns and changed the colors. I think it’s a really cute Halloween edition and I hope you will have fun making it!

Happy crocheting!

Jack In The Box Key Chain

I posted a new tutorial on Youtube, inspired by the Jack in the Box doll concept of J-Hope’s album. It’s an easy and fun project to crochet, you only need to know basic stitches such as single crochet, increase and decrease. I hope you will enjoy this tutorial, and if you have any questions, please let me know in the comments.

Happy crocheting!

Black Swan JK – parts 3 and 4

I uploaded parts 3 and 4 of my JK Black Swan tutorial on YouTube. One for the face and chain, and the other for the jacket. The series is almost complete, I just need to work on the hair. The last tutorial will be available in the next couple of weeks.

The pattern for the body of the doll is available on ETSY. It can be used to make this doll or any amigurumi projects:

I am a bit behind on my blog, I have four more completed projects to post about! I will update it all very soon. In the meantime, happy crocheting!

Fish Wind Chime

BTS recently released some artist merch on their website that they each created and one of them was a bungeo-ppang wind chime by Namjoon (RM). I really wanted it but unfortunately, it was sold out by the time I tried to buy it.

Since I was unlucky with my purchase I decided to make my own version in crochet. I bought some grey and orange yarn to recreated the model, and a little grey beaded chain for the decor.

This was actually a fun project but it took me a little bit more time than expected because I filmed the pattern in the process to release on my YouTube channel.

I am really happy to share this pattern with other fans, I uploaded the tutorial last week and I know a few people already made their own. I am really glad that it was easy for them to crochet, I tried to make it as simple as I could. Happy crocheting!

BTS/ARMY Inspired Ornaments

Last year I had created a video tutorial to make little Christmas socks ornaments inspired by BTS and ARMY. This year I decided to add two more projects: a light stick and a purple heart. They can be used on the Christmas tree or as a keychain for your bag.

Hope you will enjoy these tutorials. Happy crocheting!

Squid Game Guard Tutorial

I created a pattern to make a Squid Game Guard tutorial that I uploaded on Youtube if you are interested. It is a small version of the previous doll I made and easier to crochet. I picked the square guard this time, but you can choose any rank you want for yours. I hope you will enjoy this tutorial. Also, he is harmless!

Happy crocheting!
