lief popje

oh ik vond net zo'n lief patroontje



Skills: Knitting in the rnd on dpns, single crochet.
Level: advanced beginner
You could easily change the size just by adjusting the yarn weight & needle size. He’s all scraps, so he’s free, hurrah!
I didn’t weigh the yarn, so I don’t have exact quantities, but I’ll just make a very generous guess. Use leftovers & scraps (I wrote the brand used when I knew what it was, but anything similar from your scrap bag will work). The head & torso work on 8st increments for increases & decreases. The bottom uses 6st (because of the change in st after the arms).
Yarn:
•     body: 25g dark red worsted wool yarn (used a Lamb’s Pride type 1-ply)
•     scarf: 15g self-striping sock yarn (used Lion Brand Magic Stripes in 202 Sea Blue)
•     hair: 6″ super bulky soft twist (used Blue Sky Alpacas Bulky 1007 Gray Wolf)
•     eyeballs: 2 yd off white or white DK yarn (used Blue Sky Alpacas Sportweight in 000 Natural White)
•     1yd bright blue DK wool yarn
•     1yd bright green DK wool yarn
•     1′ black DK wool yarn
Needles
•     set/5 US5 dpns
•     US3 needles
•     small crochet hook
•     yarn needle
Misc:
•     clusterstuff, scrap yarn, strips of rag or pantyhose for filling
•     beans to fill the bottom half (tie them up in a bit of cloth, net, or pantyhose so they don’t spill out while you knit the bottom)
Instructions
With US5 dpns & red yarn, CO 8. Divide between 3 needles (you’ll save the extra needle to use later) & join & PM, being careful not to twist stitches. I used k into f&b of each stitch for my increases, but M1 would be tidier.
