Watch me Crochet: Booker Dewitt from Bioshock Infinite (oh and win a free Pokeball)



So it's been a couple weeks and I figured, why not make another video game related 'Watch me Crochet' episode, and choose someone from my FAVORITE VIDEOGAME EVER Bioshock Infinite!

Oh, and I figured, lets do another Pokemon giveaway while I'm at it. So again, there's a new Watch me Crochet episode, new character added to the Etsy, and a giveaway.






All you have to do to win a free Pokeball is go to Instagram or the Booker Dewitt video and comment leaving your guess at who this Pokemon is!

"Who want's to play video games!?"


Also, for those of you who would rather
just buy this, it's available here.
Added a new, and kinda big, pattern to my YouTube this week! So a lot of people liked my iPhone case that looks like BMO from Adventure time so I figured why not add a free pattern to explain how to make an iPhone case made with my pattern (available here by the way) into a BMO iPhone case!

I had to split the video into two, and on my YouTube it's also split into two weeks, so part two technically won't be available until next week, but I figure I'd let you guys have both video's now because I love my followers here so much!!


*Disclaimer: This pattern is only to make the various parts of BMO, and not the iPhone case itself, that pattern is available in my Etsy shop here*

Well without further ado, here are the two video's and the written patterns for the three different parts to go with them!!

Lion Brand Cotton/Lily Sugar'n Cream
/Lion Brand Cotton-Ease
(basically any 100% cotton works)
-Crochet Hook-Size G6 4.00mm
-Needle to sew in ends with

Abbreviations:
-SL.ST = Slip Stitch
-SC = Single Crochet
-DC = Double Crochet
-Ch = Chain
-Rnd = Round

Rnd 1: In back loops of the chain skip the first ch, sc one in each chain down, turn (9)
Rnd 2 - 5: ch 1, sc in each st (9)

Watch me Crochet: Assassin's Creed


This past week a new Assassin's Creed game was announced. I'm a pretty decent fan of the franchise, so I figured why not add Altair, from the first Assassin's Creed game, to the group of pod people! And while I'm at it, why not make a video!

And even further, why not do another Pokemon giveaway!! So thats what I did, a new Watch me Crochet episode, new character added to the Etsy, and a giveaway!






All you have to do to win a free Pokeball is go to Instagram or the Assassin's Creed video and comment leaving your guess at who this Pokemon is!

How to crochet a flower: Re-do


Hey guys! So I decided to redo one of my old patterns and make a video and stuff for it, so here it is, my old Flower pattern, but now with a new video, and a few tweaks to the pattern too. Hope you guys like it!


Materials:
Lion Brand Cotton/Lily Sugar'n Cream
/Lion Brand Cotton-Ease
(basically any 100% cotton works)
-Crochet Hook-Size G6 4.00mm
-Needle to sew in ends with

Abbreviations:
-SL.ST = Slip Stitch
-SC = Single Crochet
-HDC = Half Double Crochet
-DC = Double Crochet
-Ch = Chain
-Rnd = Round

Ch 9, pull loop through first ch made.
Rnd 1: sc 18 around the loop of ch’s *not in ch’s*, sl.st in first sc made, don’t turn (18) [image 1]
Rnd 2: ch 10, skip 2 sts, sl.st in 3rd, repeat this 6 times. [image 2]
Rnd 3: Around each of the ch loops made in Rnd 2: sc 2, hdc 2, dc 4, hdc 2, sc 2, then sl.st where you made the sl.sts in Rnd 2 (12 in each loop, 72 total) [images 3 and 4]

To finish, cut and pull through the remaining yarn and sew it into the body of the flower to hide it. Done! Now just get a 7/8” (20mm) button and you can put it anywhere!

"Crochet Me"


If you guys didn't know, I do a series on my YouTube channel called "Crochet Me". Basically, for each episode I crochet a different YouTuber and a viewer and do a time-lapse of me crocheting the YouTuber.

Well I havn't been posting them very often here, so I figured I'd just do a dump of the first 8 episodes of Crochet Me. See if you know any of the YouTubers, and let me know if there are any YouTubers you'd like me to make!

Also, if you or someone you know wants to be crocheted, I choose one viewer an episode to crochet, here are some examples of the people I've made.

If you want to be crocheted just post a picture to Twitter or Instagram to @louiesloops with #crochetmelouie

Hope you guys like these!



Watch me Crochet: Maleficent


Hey guys! Came out with a new episode of "Watch me Crochet" yesterday where I make Maleficent from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, as well as in her new movie Maleficent! She was really fun to make, and is available in the Etsy store today!

I'm thinking of coming out with a pattern for her soon, but not sure how to go about that just yet as it is pretty dang complicated, but we'll see.

Hope you guys like the video!


Here's some more photos of her:





How to crochet: "Splitting"



Hey guys, so I've been using this technique for a while while crocheting that I call "splitting" where I split a row in half. Not sure what it's really called, but figured that was a pretty decent name for it.

I use it in my amigurumi to make things like hoodies and hat brims, and used it a lot when I made Maleficent here. Anyhow, just thought I'd share it and show you guys how I do that and some things I make with it in a video. I'll probably be coming out with a whole bunch of amigurumi tutorials pretty soon and going to definitely be posting some longer detailed stuff on my Patreon page here in the not so distant future.

Enjoy!

Patreon



What's Patreon?
So if you don't know what Patreon is, it's basically a platform to support creators with the things they make, be it videos or little stuffed miniatures like me. You can pledge any amount of money you want per month and become a patron of the art! Think of it like an on going Kickstarter campaign, or even a tipping service, but with benefits.

I have a whole bunch of goals I'm aiming for, like a book, tons of new patterns, and eventually even hopefully to branch out! Check out all them here.

Kay, but what do I get out of it?
Other than helping me out also get a bunch of content that you wouldn't normally. Things like: 
-Longer, more in-depth tutorials 
-Video patterns for patrons only!
-Extra episodes of "Watch me Crochet" 
-Patreon specific Crochet Me's 
-A decision in who I make next! 
-Patreon specific discounts and sales in my Etsy store 
-Being known as an awesome human by me! 

In addition if you pledge a certain amount of money you can get some extra perks like free patterns or I'll even crochet you! Check out a list on the Patreon page here.
