From the stories she told me, I got to know that her current boyfriend is her first love and has loved him ever since they were like teens. But they never exactly ended up together. Short version: After five years of being sweethearts in high school, for some reason they parted ways then eventually married the wrong people and ended up not being so happy. Yah... Nicholas Spark's ears are tingling. Hahaha! ^^ Anyway, it has been more than two decades but they finally reconnected and got back together, having this long-distance relationship ever since. Oh, no strings attached. Apparently both of them failed their marriages and got separated. Sigh! First love is really hard to forget.Since my roommate's boyfriend is from Hawaii I decided to make couple keychain amigurumis of Stitch and Angel. The compatible experiments, 626 and 624. I though it would be awesome to give her something puppy love-ish to help her rekindle her sweet, young love days. Aaw! -^.^-

And here they are with the keychain hooks already attached.
If your asking how my roommate reacted to the gift... Well, let's just say she took like a bajillion pictures of the amigurumis and that was on a hectic day. Imagine if she had more time in her hands? She'd probably create a whole library. 'Nuff said! Hahaha! ^.^ But seriously, I'm really glad that she loved it, I just hope her boyfriend takes it the same way. Aww man! I'm praying he's a Disney fan. O_O

How cute!!! the're gorgeous and really cool, congratulations! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! ^^
DeleteHola tu no vendes esos muñequillo de crochet... Quiero unos iguales??
Deleteon the ears does 3 hdc go in to one stitch and 3 dc goes in to one stitch and 3 tr go in to one stitch or what
DeleteYou work up one side of the chain 3tr in last stitch then down the other side of the chain
DeleteAdorable! I'm going to make this and I'm definitely 100% sure that a lot people are going to ask for these!! Thank you for the free pattern! :D :D :D They're so cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome. Just don't forget to mention my blog. Spread the love! ^^ Hehehe
DeleteVery cute and adorable. can i made this for my son and his classmates. Maybe for christmas present or birthday gift?
ReplyDeleteOf course, use this pattern as much as you like. Just don't forget to link this blog if you wish to post your work online. Enjoy!!! ^^
DeleteHi =) thank you very much for your tutorial. I just wondered if you could give me a DMC conversion for thread or at least a website where I could buy Monaco threads please =) I live in France ^^ thank you !!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked my pattern. That means a lot to me. ^^ Monaco yarn is manufactured locally in my country (Philippines) and I'm not sure if they sell online... Probably they export in bulk but in smaller quantities, I don't know. But here's the website in case you want to inquire: http://www.monaco.com.ph/acrylic.php. I'm not familiar with the DMC thread... Is that the fine one they use for doilies? If so then that would be hard to convert. You can just use any yarn as long as it fits perfectly with a 3.25mm hook. I hope this helps. ^^
DeleteDo you ask for offers if so how much
DeleteDo you mean if I sell my amigurumis or do commissions? As of now no, I just crochet as a hobby. ^^
DeleteI don't understand the part of the inner and outer ears, could you explain in more detailed? It says 12 ch for outer ears, but the instructions need about 18 ch ?
ReplyDeleteAfter you chain 12 for the outer ears, you will work on it like a round. From your hook count 3 stitches, then on that third stitch you will do a half-double crochet. Follow the rest of the pattern as it goes around the other side of the chain.
DeleteIf it still seems confusing, just let me know. ^^
I reach the end of the chain at the part of tr, how do I continue?
DeleteCould you maybe post a video or a step-by-step picture of the outer ear and inner ear? It's quite urgent, it's for my friend
DeleteAre you on the part of the 3tr1? After the 3tr1, just work on the other side of the chain. If you notice, a chain has two posts. So the part where you do the half-double crochet on the third chain from hook and the stitches afterwards until 3tr1 will be done on half of that post. The rest of the stitches will be done on the other half. You just go around the other side.
DeleteIs that clearer? Sorry if I can't explain it that well. If it's still confusing I'll think of some other way to help you. No worries. ^^
http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q706/kryssie1011/Stitch%20-%20Outer%20Ears_zpsqysutoxf.jpg
DeleteI hope this helps... The same process applies to the inner ear.
I was supposed to make the video but my schedule is so crazy right now. If you're not much in a hurry, I'd be able to make and post the video online on Friday if you're still having trouble. ^^
Thanks a lot! I've finished the head but it doesn't look as nice as yours does, though XD
DeleteThat's great! I'm glad you pulled through with the ears. ^^ I'm sure your friend will love it.
DeleteSry for interupt.. Im a begininer, I dun really understand the shortform meaning.. 2hdc,3tr,3dc etc.. Means what? And the number (12) as well
DeleteNo problem, I don't mind at all. ^^
Delete2hdc = do a half-double crochet on each of the next two stitches
3tr = do a treble (triple) crochet on each of the next three stitches
3dc = do a double crochet on each of the next three stitches
What other abbreviations are you having difficulty with?
The (12) indicates the number of stitches that should be in a round. Like if you do round 11 of the body, when you trace back and count the stitches, it should only have 12. Otherwise, it means you did something wrong. It helps make sure that you're following the pattern correctly. ^^
Thanks,sorry, I have a trouble in the 3tr1 part, hw do I continue?
DeleteSomeone also had the same problem. I told her to look into this diagram I made as a guide. I hope it helps. ^^
Deletehttp://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q706/kryssie1011/Stitch%20-%20Outer%20Ears_zpsqysutoxf.jpg
Thank u so much :)
DeleteOMYGOD they're SO ADORABLE!! Thank you for sharing your pattern, I will be making these for.my granddaughters as well as myself!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, do u have crochet video for stitch?
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I didn't make a video tutorial for this. Why? What part are you having difficulty with?
DeleteHi, I m a beginner, im quite confusing of where to start my crochet when I not doing with video tutorial. I dun really understand all the shortform and the symbol meaning.. Eg. #41 , (12), 3tr, 2hdc, mr, 2dc and etc.. Sry for trouble, I really wish to learn bt I cant :(
Delete3tr,3tr1 ,3dc1 part.. Having problems.. Dun knw hw to crochet 3dc1,3tr1
DeleteTotally making these as a gift for my sister :)
ReplyDeleteIs there any other yarn that you would recommend for this?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I've only used Monaco Acrylic and haven't tried any other yarn. But I guess you could experiment on a different brand as long as its a 4-ply skein.
Deletehola me encanto su trabajo q medida aprox queda el llavero?
ReplyDeleteHi! I hope you don't mind me answering in English. Sorry, I've never got the chance to learn Spanish.
DeleteOkay the keychain is approximately 4.5 inches, but if you include Angel's antenna to the measurement it'll be more or less 5 inches.
Whats mean 3tr1? Please help me😢
ReplyDeleteOh don't cry. Hahaha -^.^-
DeleteIt means you do 3 treble crochets in 1 stitch. -^.^-
Whats mean 3tr1? Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt means do 3 treble crochets in 1 stitch. ^^
DeleteBuenas tardes!!Duquesa.. Significados en español de estas abreviaturas:hdc,hacinc,dc,tr....te comento para mi sc:punto bajo,inc:2 puntos juntos,dec:disminución. Pero lo que puse arriba no lo entiendo.. Agradecería tu respuesta... Saludos.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have no idea how to speak Spanish but I'm gonna put my money on Google Translate and hope for the best.
DeleteIf I understood your question right, you want the Spanish equivalents of the pattern codes you mentioned? If that's the case then here they are:
hdc = Medio punto alto
hdcinc = dos medio punto alto en uno punto
dc = punto alto
tr = punto alto doble
Are these the only ones you need? I hope I understood this right. XD
Thanks for the tutorial. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI have problem at the making of the outer ear. It said,12 ch etc... do i have to make a circle first from 12 ch or....?
Thank you for your attention
Not a circle, more like an unfinished oblique. After the 12ch, you just crochet around until you finish both sides of the chain then fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. It goes around but it ends at the last stitch.
DeleteDid that help? ^^
You are so supportive with your answers to all these questions. For all thode enquiring about basic crochet stitches and abbreviations they can be found online or in crochet books. It's a good idea for beginners to try easier projects first.
ReplyDeleteHow tall are the finishing product? Love your work BTW 😍
ReplyDeleteOh thanks so much. ^^
DeleteThe amigurumi is not that tall, just about 4 to 5 inches. ^^
Hola muy lindo trabajo.pero también tengo problemas con las abreviaturas.😭😭😭😭😭
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm glad you like my pattern. Ah yes, the abbreviations can be a little tricky. Which part is the most confusing for you? I'll explain it the best I can.
DeleteGreat post.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for sharing the pattern,, i've been looking for a pattern for 626 and getting 624 as well is indeed a bonus! 😊 i'll be doing a pair for my brother and his fiancee,, 😊😊
ReplyDeleteI luv this, and thank you for all the clarification posts. I was confused with the ears also but after going through the posts I've figured it out. Thank you so much and you're awesome!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity you don't have a donate button!
ReplyDeleteI'd most certainly donate to this superb blog!
I suppose for now i'll settle for book-marking and
adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to brand new updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Rita van Someren and I am from The Netherlands. On Facebook I do manage a Dutch group with Dutch translations of crochet patterns. Many members in my group do love to crochet, however most of them are unable to read, write and understand the English language. Therefore I started my group and offer my members Dutch translations. I do that only for patterns of which I do have the permission to translate the pattern.
One of my members came across your pattern for Stitch/Angel
http://duchessgala.blogspot.com/2014/11/626-and-624.html and asked me if I can translate it to Dutch.
Can I have your permission and may I share it in my group (with link to your Blog)? If you accept, I can provide you the Dutch version in a PDF file.
Hope to hear from you soon. You can contact me by email rita.van.someren@xs4all.nl
Thanks in advance and warm greetings,
Rita van Someren

Your abbreviations are very confusing for me
ReplyDeletee.g. 3tr1 - does that mean 3 triples in 1 stitch?
e.g. 2hdc - are you doing 2 hdc in same or 2 separate stitches?
Also on legs
Rnd 2: 1sc-2inc (10) - huh? like 3 doesnt go into 10. Unless you meant it like 2sc X 4 then sc X 2 = 10?
INNER EARS (4x)
ReplyDelete() (light pink)
9ch
Rnd 1: 1sc on 2nd ch from hook, 1sc, 3hdc, 2dc, 3dc1, 2dc, 3hdc, 3sc (17)
Round 1 with what you've written out = 18 not 17
Why are there no instructions for assembly - e.g. what row to place the arms? you just have leave a tail for sewing. Not very help
ReplyDeleteHi, I made your pattern and posted some pictures, I was wondering what would I use to link to you? So you get credit for the pattern. Absolutely amazing pattern also, I loved making it.
