Hello everyone. It's been a long time since the last time I upload a tutorial video on Youtube I am so busy with my PhD life and don't have time to sit, record and talk through the video. To be honest, the talking part in the tutorial is the part that makes me avoid doing the tutorial. You know after a long intense day of coding and research, the last thing I want to do is talking and narrate the tutorial video.
I decide to change my strategy, I will record the video every time I crochet, and will only narrate the video if I feel like. I can voice over later on the editing process when I feel like I want to do it only. So this is happening to this tutorial video. With the changing way of thinking, I am finally publishing this tutorial video!!
Let me introduce you the character in this tutorial. Her name is "Tangy". She is an orange/tangerine cat character from the game called 'Animal Crossing'. I came across Animal Crossing New Horizon during the start of the lockdown period, and this game is really hooked me in. It's been a while since the last time I have the urge to crochet something and this game just makes me want to crochet again! I decided to start with Tangy because I have her on my island(in the game) and she has a very simple colour scheme. So I think I should start with her.
This is the actual pattern that I used to crochet her up. I would call it version 1 for cat pattern as I have so many places I want to change the pattern. MATERIALS:
4 ply worsted weight yarn, I used Thai local brand named "Eagle" which similar to the DK yarn.
3.5mm. or E size hook, I am using Japanese Clover hook.
ABBREVIATION
sc- single crochet
sl- slip stitch
ch- chain
st - stitch
inc - increase = 2 sc in same stitch
sc2tog - decrease single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
[ ] - repeat instruction in parenthesis for the number of time.
BLO - Back loop only
The pattern is free as the subtitle on the video as always but not going to be showing on this blog anymore. The pdf printed version will be available on Ravelry and Craftsy and a support payment to me. You don't have to pay for this, you can just open the video and follow the pattern through. I will put the time stamp in the comment section so you can easily navigate along with the video.
Because of this pandemic, there is likely a high chance that I cannot work as a Lab demonstrator in the next semester, which means I will have more free time to crochet but less money to spend on food supplies. So if you are happy to purchase the pdf pattern and support me, here are the links ;
The result looks cute on the first grant but when I compare the finished doll with the character in the game, I realise her head is too small. My perfectionist mind is screaming. I really want to fix her but decide to let that away. I can try again with another cat character later.
This tutorial was recorded around the end of October and now I just finish editing it on 17 November. It took me more than half a month to just edit this because my PhD study is getting really busy.

Hello everyone, hope you are having a great day. I just moved to Edinburgh to start my PhD study. I am not sure how often I can upload the video but I will try my best to upload it at least once a month.
Since I just moving in, many things still not in place yet, so today I come with a video about this easy and simple project that I made for myself. A pen holder from recycling can.
Pattern instruction
Rnd1: 2 ch, 6 sc in the 1st chain, sl :: 6 stitches
Rnd2: 1 ch, inc in next 6 st, sl :: 12 stitches
Rnd3: 1 ch, [sc in next st, inc] 6 times, sl :: 18 stitches
Rnd4: 1 ch, [sc in next 2 st, inc] 6 times, sl :: 24 stitches
Rnd5: 1 ch, [sc in next 3 st, inc] 6 times, sl :: 30 stitches
Rnd6: 1 ch, [sc in next 4 st, inc] 6 times, sl :: 36 stitches
Rnd7: 1 ch, [sc in next 5 st, inc] 6 times, sl :: 42 stitches
Rnd8: 1 ch, [sc in next 6 st, inc] 6 times, sl :: 48 stitches
And I think you can see the trend in the pattern, keep increase until you cover or nearly cover the bottom of the can, then crochet sc in the each stitch the going up and cover the side of the can.
Rnd9 and repeat until it cover the can:
1 ch, sc in each st, sl :: 48 stitches
But today I am gonna change the color along the way so;
Rnd9 - Rnd12: 1 ch, sc in next 48 st, sl :: 48 stitches
Change color to green(seeing tip on how to change color seamlessly in the video)
Rnd13 - Rnd14: 1 ch, sc in next 48 st, sl :: 48 stitches
Change color to pale green
Rnd15 - Rnd17: 1 ch, dc in next 48 st, sl :: 48 stitches
Change color to green
Rnd18 - Rnd20: 1 ch, sc in next 48 st, sl :: 48 stitches
Change color to gray
Rnd21 - Rnd24: 1 ch, sc in next 48 st, sl :: 48 stitches
Cut the yarn and fasten off
And its done!!

Hello everyone, it's been a long time since my last amigurumi update. No excuse at all, I just feeling down and stressful, to the point that I forget that crochet can help me relax. There are quite differences when comparing normal crochet and crochet while making a tutorial video. I have to find the place where I can have enough light for filming and the past couple of week had been constantly raining and every room is too dark. That's really frustrating. In this goldfish tutorial, I use 3 light lamps to make it as bright as I can, even though it still looks dark.

As you may not know that when I film the tutorial, I don't have any pattern on hand, I just crochet it up, so you kind of see it clearly that I pause and think along the whole video. In this tutorial, I didn't do a voice-over like I used to do, but I just talk at the recording time, so excuse me for my vocab problems. You know, I was confused with the word pebbles, LOL.
0:14 I forgot to change the text color to black on that material and abbreviation, so it turns out blank. All details about material and abbreviation are here below and in the video description box.

For this video, I decided to go back to the same way that I used to do which is a tutorial without narration. Due to the length of the video, editing was really hard and my pc keeps freezing many times, so I decide to keep it simple.
I already make 3 Chowder hat from this pattern and every time it looks the same. So there shouldn't have any problems with the pattern ut if you spot any error that may come from a typo, please noticing me, so I can fix it. Thank in advance.
I am so tried right now and really don't know what I should write here, so let's get straight to the tutorial. Hope you guys like it.

From Rnd23 is the process of making ear cover, if you don't want the ear covor, you can finish the hat at the point and fasten off the yarn.
I used safety pin as a marker for indicate ear cover location. You can easily follow the pattern without doing this process. Or adjust the ear cover position according to your ears.
* - backward crochet or crochet with your opposite hand(without flip your work).
Ear cover

Rnd32: * 3 ch, dec, dc in next st, dec, flip :: 3 stitches
Cut the yarn and fasten off.
From the finish point, count 29 st away and start the second ear cover(Repeat Rnd23-Rnd32) from that point.
(If you have the feeling that it not the right position, believe in your instinct and start at the point you feel the most symmetry.)
sl all around the edge.
