Yesterday I posted about ChatGPT's valiant attempt to write a crochet pattern for a plushie Slenderman . The result was not very slender and also not really any sort of man. More of a weird, moderately unnerving Pokemon. You can see "Slenderman" right there in the image next to "Macho Man." I don't even really know what to say about "Macho Man." He's mostly naked, bald, and I don't think ChatGPT knows what a bandana is. I also don't know what's up with the arm and leg bands. Are those the elbows and knees? I aim to find out while also trying to help this AI become self-aware because I crave the end of humanity. That aside. If you would like to make yourself an AI-generated "Macho Man," here is the pattern as given to me. I'll mess around with this some more next week. Maybe do a little once a week AI pattern monstrosity post. Materials:      Tan yarn      Black yarn      Red yarn      3.5 mm crochet ...

The results were...something. Unsettling? Charming? Definitely not Slenderman, but not really anything else either? Some sort of Pokemon? Here's the pattern, as it was given to me by my AI friend ChatGPT, if you'd also like to make this "Slenderman." Materials: Black yarn White yarn 3.5 mm crochet hook Fiberfill stuffing Yarn needle Scissors Abbreviations: ch = chain sc = single crochet inc = increase (two single crochets in one stitch) dec = decrease (single crochet two stitches together) Body: With black yarn, ch 2 Round 1: 6 sc in second ch from hook (6) Round 2: 2 sc in each st around (12) Round 3: [sc, inc] around (18) Round 4: [2 sc, inc] around (24) Round 5: [3 sc, inc] around (30) Round 6-10: sc around (30) Round 11: [3 sc, dec] around (24) Round 12: [2 sc, dec] around (18) Begin stuffing the body.

I finally got around to doing one of the numerous things that I had planned to do at the start of this year! I updated one of my very old patterns! The Dalek Hats! And this is just in time for the new Doctor Who! I went through and improved the pattern, tweaking the sizing, and I added more details to the written pattern and some additional images of the new version of the hats. The last section of the pattern is text-only for those people that like to print their patterns! AND I also made a few videos to go along with the pattern, which you can find on my YouTube channel , which I hope to update more frequently with more and more fun (weird, unhinged) tutorials.  Anyway, I don't want to ramble too much, so you can find links to the updated Dalek Hats pattern below:  Crochet Dalek Hats on Ko-Fi Crochet Dalek Hats on Ravelry I kept the pattern the same price, although it is much more detailed now (just $5 USD). It includes both the classic Dalek design and the newer paradigm Da...

**EDIT 4/15/23: I totally know that I spelled axolotls wrong in the graphic. I just don't care and I'm not changing it because 2023 is the year of me being unhinged af. There are A LOT of axolotl patterns floating around. AxoLOTl of patterns, if you will. Ahem...you all know that I also love alliteration so April...and Axolotls just goes together, right? If you don't know about axolotls then let me give you some QUICK ANIMAL FACTS: Axolotls are a weird type of salamander, which is an amphibian. Most amphibians (e.g. frogs, mudpuppies, more common lizard-looking salamanders, etc.) go through different stages as they develop - eggs, tadpoles, adulthood, and they move onto land as adults. Axolotls don't do this. They never move onto land. They are aquatic as adults and they keep their gills looking like cute babies forever. The frilly things on their heads are their gills btw. There are some other species of salamanders that remain aquatic as well, but I digress. Axolotls...

Bo'Katan, y'all. Katee Sackhoff carries this show - change my mind. I did the Mythosaur earlier and I realized after that I should have just also done the Nite Owl at the same time, especially after this week's episode. I considered saving this for next week, but I do what I want.  If you're looking for the Mythosaur then head over here .   As with the Mythosaur, I made two. You've got a smaller, versatile 35x35 and a bigger 50x50. Feel free to download and edit them as needed for whatever you're doing. These are good for c2c, sc, duplicate stitch knitting, and cross stitch. I'd use caution with stranded knitting because the grid squares are...square. This will make the circle not circular since knit stitches are not square. Anyway, link back here to this post if you use these charts for anything cool! Please and thank you. This is the way.   For the latest updates, follow me on Facebook ! Check out Ko-Fi for patterns and I now offer monthly subscriptions f...

I'm sure someone out there needs this for something. I made two versions - a smaller 35x35 and a 50x50 that has a little more detail. These will totally work for c2c crochet or sc (but at the time of writing this, they are untested). They'll also be fine for cross stitch and duplicate stitch knitting. Do whatever you want! Knitting will be a little skewed because the grids are squares and I also worry a bit about the large sections of background color, but anyway...here are your Mythosaur skulls so you can make your little Mandalore banners and stuff, you nerds! Feel free to save the charts and make tweaks as needed, but if you post your creations online, don't forget to link back here to share the love and joy! I should probably do the Nite Owl sigil, shouldn't I? Stay tuned...   If you want to get the latest updates and be the first to know about new free (and also paid) patterns then be sure to follow me on Facebook !

St. Patrick's Day is in March, and I associate potatoes with Ireland (due to that whole Potato Famine, I assume), and I also got a weird commission for, uh, a bunch of potato people and a potato king? So, does it make sense that this month's pattern roundup theme is...potatoes? I think so! Each of the potato people I made needed to be a little different (colors, sizes, etc.) but I looked around at existing amigurumi potato patterns for a starting point and inspo for my bunch of potatoe people. Here are my favorite potato crochet patterns and they are all totally FREE!!! Images below belong to their respective owners/pattern makers, of course! Only the potato people above are mine. Potato Amigurumi by Stitch By Fay This is a very easy potato of good size and I used this pattern for two (I think??) of my potatoes, but I used worsted weight yarn and an F hook to make them a bit larger than the pattern. Fay has A LOT of fun free patterns! Stitch by Fay on Facebook Amugurumi Potato ...
