Slipstitch
A new Sinner Sona for Hazbin Hotel, Slipstitch
Tumblr media
His only real demonic power is being able to summon Demonic Stitches that do not perforate what they attach two, and try to draw the two surfaces they are attached to together regardless of Slip’s input. It’s not string control, it’s specifically *stitches*.
Tumblr media
He can abuse this tho for grappling and slamming over short distances like here with some unnamed sinner
His design is based on several things I consider core to my personality, and what I consider my own “sins”.
Firstly, a scar above his stomach and heart, where I have actually had feeding tube surgery and regularly get heart check ups for my bad heart. My left hip goes out, so he has a hoof there. And my hands are bad from a connective tissue disorder, and my overall condition will only get worse with time
So, a broken toy, patched itself together and carried on.
In addition, IRL I was raised very conservative and Mormon. Now an apostate, I purposefully sought out the occult, the lewd, and the “monstrous” to remake my identity in opposition to how I was raised. In other words: blasphemy. Stitching demonic parts to patch up what I tore off of myself
Combine that with some Envy, Sloth, Lust, and Gluttony, and you get the plush rabbit with demonic grafts and a desire to push their body past its limits, trusting they can just patch themselves up. The kind of Pride I exhibited when I went to get my degree even though my doctors said it was unwise
Was a fun character to design! Hazbin Hotel Sinnersonas are a fun way to self reflect
What’s yours ?

I started working on a braided rug earlier this month, using some of the quilting cotton that I have too much of. It's inspired by some very old rugs that my grandparents had. I'm tearing the fabric into 4 cm wide strips, double folding it and slipstitching the edges together, then braiding it and whipstitching the edges of the braid together, around and around. I also pressed the fabric strips carefully after tearing them, and have been pressing the rug every time I go around the ends to prevent it from warping. It's coming along slowly and is currently 16 cm wide. I've used up almost one metre of fabric so far, and am about to switch to a different piece of green cotton.

hey if you write a pattern for the chilchuck amigurumi I will buy it instantly
ive gotten multiple asks about this, so ill just answer them all here in one go.
i wrote down everything while i was working on it, but i theres some stuff that i would do diffrently and i also didnt take a lot of process pics so it wont be a full proper pattern for those reasons, but ill add all that i have under the cut!
i dont want any compensation, but if you wanna do me a favor you can donate to esims for gaza, unrwa, any of these gefundme's, or another trusted charity of your choice.
now to the pattern! i would love to see the results of anyone making a squeakychuck, feel free to tag or dm me :)
the dimensions of this depend on the size of ur squeaker and yarn, i had a 4ish cm squeaker and somewhat thick 4/8 cotton yarn (kinda 6/8ish thickness). depending on ur yarn and squeaker u might need to follow a different pattern for the body.
if youre using a different body base pattern, the tunic and blouse pattern are pretty easily adjustable. ill add some notes for that at those sections of the pattern. ill also link some videos i used at relevant sections.
if theres an Action store near where u live, see pic below for the yarn i used for the skin, reddish brown, black and light brown. i got 3 of these but 2 packs was enough. the dark brown and creme were from my stash. i also got the squeaker from a donut dog toy from Action.

Arms (skin, dark brown)
i made the arms movable with button joints, but after looking at some videos i discovered that what i did is not called a button joint and i dont have a video explaining it, so i hope this drawing helps.
Tumblr media
the red bits are the buttons inside of the arms and body, and the thread (blue for clarity, i matched it w the skin) should be pulled tight and finished off with a double or tripple knot inside the body.
or you could just sew on the arms that also works. but wait with doing that until youve finished the blouse as the hands dont fit through the sleeves. i have a seperate section on assembly at the end of the pattern.
start with skin
r1:sc6 in mc
r2: inc x6
r3(sc, inc)x6
r4 : sc 18
change color to brown
r5: sc 18
1st arm r6: sc 3, bobble, sc 14.

r7: sc 18
r8: (sc 4, dec)x3
r9: (sc 3, dec)x3
r10 sc12
color switch to skin (you might want to do this a round earlier, i didnt initially plan on making the gloves flared, and this color change part can sometimes be seen and look kinda weird)

boots (light brown, dark brown, greyish creme) [video]
these are removable but they dont go on easily, so you gotta patiently massage the feet in there.
start with light brown
ch 7, start in 2nd from hook:
r1: sc 5, 3inc, sc 4, inc
r2: inc, sc 4, inc 3, sc 4, inc 2
r3: inc, sc 5, hdc inc 7, sc 5, inc 2

r7-10: sc in all
switch color to greyish creme
r11-12: sc in all
r13: slst, FLO sc in all
r14-16: sc all
slst fasten off
flip the greyish creme flap over.
blouse (thinner creme)
this is a standard raglan pattern, if you need the whole thing bigger/smaller you need to have more/less chains at the beginning. this change also carries over to the collar. the increases are evenly spaced for me, and unless your doll has a very broad chest this shouldnt have to change.
if the arms need more space you need to either add more rows to the r3-7 part and/or add more chains in r8 (this part should fit pretty sugg around the body)
i was experimenting a bit w using BLO to minimize the gap where the sleeve and body seperate (r8). it worked p good but you can ignore it if you dont understand it and just sc in all.
(edit: if this confuses you, understandable. I answered an ask abt it here but feel free to ask if its still unclear)
r1: ch24, slst join.
r2: (sc 5, inc) x4
r3-7: inc in first of previous inc. last row should have 10 sc between increases.
r8: sc5, blo sc 1, ch 5, blo sc join in 1st of next inc, sc 11, blo sc1, ch5, blo sc join in 1st st of next inc, sc 5

r10-13: sc in all (36)
r14: (sc8, inc)x4
r15: sc in all (40)
slst finish off
Sleeve
r1: join mid armpit, slst ,sc2, sc in the leftover bits from the BLO stitches, sc 11, sc in leftover BLO bits, sc2

r1: join mid body-facing side, FLO sc 20
r2-4: sc 20, slst fatsen off
Tumblr media
Tunic (red brown) [tunesian entrelac crochet]
if you want to make this bigger i recommend keeping the same square layout, but making the squares bigger. its a bit of measuring and math to figure it out.
the tunic is made in tunesian crochet and i dont really know what written patterns for that look like so i hope this makes sense.
for a single square:
r1: ch4, start in 2nd back bump from hook. pull up a loop from ever back bump. you should have 4 loops on your hook total. simplestitch in all
r2-4: simplestitch in all.
r5: slst in all. fasten off
for the slanted parts i did the decrease by pulling through the middle 2 loops in one go on the back pass
this is how the full thing should look, its worked from bottom left to top right.
Tumblr media
sew together the shoulders together, then sew in all of the ends
:) good luck
Tumblr media
tunesian crochet has a tendancy to curl, so if you used cotton i def recommend blocking it
i defined the grid a little bit with a dark brown pencil.
cowl (green)
BLO sc 7, repeat till desired lenght, then BLO slst join the last row to the first.
scalp undercut bit (dark brown)
r1: sc 6 in mr
r2: (inc) x6
r3: (sc 1, inc) x6
r4: (sc 2, inc) x6
r5: (sc3, inc) x6
r6: (sc 4, inc)x6
r7: sc36
sew on back of the head (recommend doing this before the ears and face, see end for more detailed assembly instructions)
Tumblr media
hair (reddish brown) [hair video]
disclaimer, this is kind of a mess. the lenghts didnt line up the way i intended so i improvised by adding loose strands and spent a lot of time pinning every strand in place before glueing them down.
i used bison kit contact glue since its sturdy, transparant, flexible and waterproof. you can use hot glue as well, i just personally dont like it because its bulky.
r1: sc 21 in mc. join BLO slst
r2: ch 12, sc in 2nd from hook, gdc10, BLO slst join
r3: ch 12, sc in 2nd from hook, gdc10, BLO slst join
r4: ch13, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 11, BLO slst join
r5: ch13, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 11, BLO slst join
r6: ch 14, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 12, BLO slst join
r7: ch16, sc in 2nd form hook, hdc 14, BLO slst join
r8: ch 18, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 16, BLO slst join
r9: ch 18, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 16, BLO slst join
r10: ch 14, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 12, BLO slst join
r11: ch 12, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 10, BLO slst join
r12: ch 10, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 8, BLO slst join
from now on, join in the FLO's of previous round
r13: ch10, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 8, FLO slst join
r14: ch10, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 8 , FLO slst join
r15: ch12, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 10 , FLO slst join

r19: ch 18, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 16, FLO slst join
r20: ch16, sc in 2nd form hook, hdc 14, FLO slst join
r21: ch14, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 12 , FLO slst join
1x ch 6, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 4
2x ch8, sc in 2nd from hook, hdc 6
2x ch 10, sc in 2nd from chain, hdc 8, slst in same, fasten off.
2x ch 12, sc in 2nd from chain, hdc 10, slst in same, fasten off.
3x ch14
pin all in place until it looks good, tie +glue loose strands first. then glue back pieces, crown, and lastly bangs/ top back layer. some of the lose strands go behind the ears, one is the left sideburn, and the rest is to cover up the crown. these pics are the best i can do as a guide, this was my first time doing this so i was struggling lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i didnt fully glue down the bangs and the top back layer bc i thought it would be fun if u could ruffle his hair, but my friend who i gave the plush to has significantly abused him (its been 2 days) and his hair is a mess so im gonna have to glue it down again lol. might as well do it all the first time if u plan on throwing him down the stairs or something.
Face
for eyes + eyebrows, embroider outline with dark brown, then needle felt [video] the inner parts w unraveled dark brown fluff. the dark brown i used was probably acrylic. cotton doesnt really work well for this.
Tumblr media
Belt and pouch (dark brown)
the belt is a 3 strand basic friendship bracelet! [video]
sew together the ends and hide it with by sewing the pouch on top.
i didnt write down the pattern for the pouch, but from the top of my head its the same start as the squares for the tunic
r1-9: simple stitch in all
r10: simple stitch 1, decrease by putting your hook through 2 vertical bars when pulling up a loop, simple stitch edge 1.
r11: slst in all, finish with a long tail
use tail to sew together the sides, and sew the pouch onto the belt. use some yellow thread to make a button.
ASSEMBLY.
put on the blouse, put the arms in their place and finish the button joints.
put on the tunic, lace the sides with dark brown yarn, finish with a knot and hide the tails underneath the chest part of the tunic.
slide on the belt and boots.
sew the scalp undercut bit to the head
sew the ears to the head
tie + glue the loose hair strands behind the ears
glue the back of the hair
glue the back of the hair
glue the middle circle part of the hair
glue the top back layer and bangs
sew the head to the body
put on the cowl
Tumblr media
i hope this is somewhat clear, feel free to dm me is you have questions.
enjoy your squeakychuck :D

returned to the pacific ocean for the first time in twelve years! promptly collected too many cool shells and bones, which gave me an excuse to improvise a bull kelp mermaid's purse out of a variation on slipstitch. the purse is now loaded up with rocks to keep it stretched as it dries out.

Been deep in the stash for project inspo. found SO MANY balls of fingering and sock yarn (I don't really knit socks except for occassional gifts, these are >80% bestowed upon me in some fashion). Gonna get into some lightweight sweaters I think? a la shifty/seaglass vibes...but probably just a flax light with either a 1x1 fair isle / slipstitch pattern or my beloved linen stitch, since both the seaglass AND the shifty notes are full of people who either couldn't get gauge or had real difficulty sizing (both patterns claim to be updated since the troubles...but flax is tried and true).
In the meantime, a fingering weight yarn hat! This is one of a pair of balls from a BAHYarns club from years ago (maybe a decade?). They were dyeing national parks, and I think this one is the Grand Canyon, although it could also be Zion. I never really thought the colorway would be good socks, so it sat in a drawer until now.
Because I have another identical ball I have no plans for, here's detailed notes for just in case future me.
Crochet cast-on 160 on 2.75mm needle, twisted rib 8 rounds, purl one round, swap needles to 3.25mm, purl another round, then knit 36 46 rounds, begin decreases: *k14, k2tog*, k two rounds, *k13, k2tog*, k two rounds...continue decreases in this manner until 100st remain, then decrease every other round until 10st remain, weave yarn tail through last round of stitches twice, pull tight and weave through the inside.

Blanket of the Seventh Dawn - Final FO
After two months, I've finished my FFXIV inspired blanket, and I can't wait to show it to you! For the individual posts: What is this project? Or, for the tl;dr - one colorway per Scion = Big Blanket. #blanket of the seventh dawn. Just be aware the posts may contain spoilers up to FFXIV Endwalker.
I was inspired after making a red cat hat, reminiscent loosely of G'raha Tia, to make a bigger project. Then when I started perusing yarns for my next project, wistfully browsing the yarns from my favorite hand-dyers, I kept seeing colorways that reminded me of other characters. At that point, the idea was hypothetical, but then I started taking notes for what characters I wanted to include, colorway ideas, screenshots to see how they looked together, a few plan layouts for 3 and 4 squares per hank... and it got a whole less hypothetical.
This was in January, so new year, new project, new yarn budget - I took the dive in.
Tumblr media
I wanted to really let the colors tell the story. Especially with crochet, sometimes the simpler stitches are better for letting the color variations shine, so I chose a basic stitch but a new-to-me granny design. The solid granny replaces the typical spacings with DC all the way across and then building in the corners.
It wasn't always pretty. On the very first hank my swift broke after I accidentally hadn't secured it it tight enough, and for awhile I started trying to wind by hand.
My second swift was an immediate purchase after THIS happened with two of the hanks.
Tumblr media
As I finished squares for each hank (I could get three per color), I blocked them, wove in ends, and put them to the side until all colors were complete. Then, when I finished all the squares, I put them all into a bag, mixed them up, then decided the final design by choosing them at random, displaying them in a 6 square by 7 square rectangle. I exchanged about six squares to make sure no like squares were touching and to better alleviate a block of red all in one place. This gave the blanket the layer of chaos you'll see soon.
Because of the weight of the blanket, I made a few decisions for connecting squares that felt, to me, like they would be more secure. For the back side, I chose to sc up the row in place of a mattress stich or any other sewing options or even slip stitch. I used Malabrigo, Arroyo for this part and the border. Although it's also dk, it is a little thinner than the dk in Arcane Fibre Works. When I got to a corner, I chose to connect inside the hole made, and not in the stitches. This resulted in the crossing you see here on both sides of the work. I also slipstitched in both sets of adjacent squares on the first pass through before continuing with the connecting single crochets.
Tumblr media
March 24 (this is getting posted a little late because I was behind on sharing squares), I finished up the 5th row of hdc in blo for the border, wove in the rest of the ends, and FINALLY she was all finished. You can see some final pictures and the full reveal below!

Thanks for coming along with me on this journey.
This blanket will be treated like the treasure she is.

Hello again. You've been so helpful to me in the past. I have another question if that's okay...
Do you have a recommendation for hand sewing needles? I bought a variety pack of Singer needles and only some of them seem to work well for me while sewing a polycotton skirt. They're so difficult to get through the fabric it feels like I'm bending them against my thimble.
It depends a lot on what kind of stitch you're doing and how thick your material and/or thread is, so it's nice to have a variety of needles. Some fabrics are just more of a pain to get needles through, if they're really tightly woven, but maybe a thinner one would help? But that would also bend more easily, so I don't know.
John James Needles is a good source, and you can get little packs of 25 in tons of different sizes. (Or individual needles, or much larger bulk amounts.)
I can't recommend specific sizes for your specific needs, so probably best to get several different ones, and maybe measure the ones you have and decide what the most comfortable length for various tasks is.
A small difference in length makes a big difference in the sewing. Like, for my braided rug I've been using a 3.6 cm needle for slipstitching the edges of the tubes together, but that feels much too long and unwieldy for whipstitching the braids together, so for that I use a 3 cm one. Which is perfect for the whipstitching but would feel too short and stumpy for the slipstitching.

Crotator-Tot Pattern
Tumblr media
Pattern under the read more.
This Pattern does NOT have to be done in Half Double Crochet, that's just my personal preference because i don't like Single Crochet lawl. (I'm just poor artist so its also a cost saving management.
This is the first pattern i've ever written, so there will be mistakes because of that and because i've only been crocheting for 2 years ;))K
This Pattern Takes...about 4-5 Hours to complete.
This pattern may NOT be used for profit, there MUST be a donation to your local animal shelter.
For this Particular Tator Tot I used a 3.125mm hook and Impeccable yarn by loops and threads in color "Pumpkin" and Caron 1 Pound in "Off White"

Constructing the Crotator-Tot
Attach each part of the body to its respective spot (I find it easier to put the tail on straight after the legs are on)
to add the fluff, wrap yarn around your fingers and cut, then tie around stitches. to make fluffy ((Carefully!)) Comb out the yarn
