Crochet android toy





Size:
  • Approximately 7" (18 cm) tall
Materials:
  • Worsted weight yarn in Green and White.
  • Suggested Hook Size: F (3.75 mm)
  • 12 mm two-piece black eyes or eyes of your choice.
  • Fiberfill stuffing
Optional:
  • Extra pair of two-piece eyes (9 mm) for arm joints.
  • Weighted stuffing for legs.
  • Plastic Canvas for base of legs.
Notes:
  • Android worked in continuous spirals.
  • Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each row. Move stitch marker up each time you start a new row.
Color Code:
  • MC: Main Color (Green)
  • CC: Contrast Color (White)

Body

With MC make a magic ring.

R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st)
R2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 st)
R3: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next) 6 times (18 st)
R4: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next 2 st) 6 times (24 st)
R5: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next 3 st) 6 times (30 st)
R6: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next 4 st) 6 times (36 st)
R7: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next 5 st) 6 times (42 st)
R8: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next 6 st) 6 times (48 st)
R9-13: 1 sc in each stitch around (48 st)
R14-15: Change to CC 1 sc in each stitch around (48 st)

If you’re using two-piece animal eyes, you should insert them now. I put mine between rounds 8 and 9 about 9 stitches apart. The eyes should be on the opposite side of the head from where you begin each round.

R16-31: Change back to MC 1 sc in each stitch around (48 st)

If you’re going to make the arm joints using two-piece animal eyes, you should make the arms now and then attach them to the body with the eyes before you start stuffing your Android. If you’re going to thread-joint the Android’s arms then you should stuff the Android almost full now and then continue closing him up.

R32: (invisible decrease, 1 sc in next 6 st) 6 times (42 st)
R33: (invdec, sc in next 5 st) 6 times (36 st)
R34: (invdec, sc in next 4 st) 6 times (30 st)
R35: (invdec, sc in next 3 st) 6 times (24 st)
R36: (invdec, sc in next 2 st) 6 times (18 st)
R37: (invdec, sc in next 1 st) 6 times (12 st)

Finish stuffing the body.

R38: (invdec) 6 times (6 st)

Fasten off. Stitch the hole closed and weave in the end of the yarn.

Antennae (Make 2)

With MC ch 5

R1: sl st in 2nd chain from hook and in each remaining chain. (4 st)

Cut yarn, leaving a long yarn end. Draw end through last loop and pull tight to fasten off.

Sew on to the top of the Android head. The left antenna should line up with the inside corner of the left eye, the right with the inside corner of the right eye.

Arms (Make 2)

With MC make a magic ring.

R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st)
R2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 st)
R3-13: 1 sc in each st around (12 st)

If you are making the Android with two-piece animal eyes then now is the time to put the front of the eye in the arm and attach it to the body. (Which you left open at R31)

After you attach the arm to the body, stuff the arm.

If you aren’t using the two-piece animal eyes for joints, then disregard the eye-joint instructions and just stuff the arm. (The arm should be about 6.5 cm long.)

R14: (invdec) 6 times (6 st)

Fasten off. Stitch the hole closed and weave in the end of the yarn.

Once you’ve made both arms, you can attach them to the body by thread-jointing them on. I put my Android’s arms a little too high. They should be attached below the white line around the Android’s neck.

Legs (Make 2)

Option 1

The first option for the legs is to make your Android stand. To make these you need the weighted stuffing and the plastic canvas. You might also need the toe-ends of a pair of stockings if you want to make sure the plastic pellets don’t fall through the holes between the stitches in the legs.

With MC make a magic ring.

R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st)
R2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 st)
R3: (2 sc in next stitch, sc in next) 6 times (18 st)
R4-10: 1 sc in each stitch around (18 st)

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn end. Cut a piece of plastic canvas to make a flat base for the Android’s foot. Put the canvas in the bottom of the foot. Stuff the leg with weighted stuffing. If you don’t put the pellets in the toes of the tights or in sewing bags, then put a little fiberfill stuffing in over the top of the pellets to keep the pellets from escaping while you sew the leg to the Android body.

When you’ve made both legs, sew the legs to the body. They should be in the middle of the base of the body about 2 cm apart.

Legs (Make 2)

Option 2

If you don’t want your Android to be able to stand on his own, then you can make the legs look more like the real Android legs. For these legs you just need ordinary fiberfill stuffing instead of the weighted stuffing. (The legs should end up being about 3 cm tall.)

With MC make a magic ring.

R1: 6 sc in magic ring. (6 st)
R2: 2 sc in each stitch around. (12 st)
R3-7: 1 sc in each st around (12 st)

Fasten off, leaving a long yarn end. Stuff the legs and sew them on. They should be in the middle of the base of the body about 1 cm apart.

GRANNY WHITE HAT

Pattern for GRANNY WHITE HAT (in English)
Yarn: Medium, worsted
Needle: 4mm or 5mm (depending on how tight or loose you crochet. For better results, check the suggested number for the yarn you will use)
Size: 4 yrs to adult
Baby: skip rows 3 and 4 (for the rib part, you must have 36DC)
If you use baby yarn (fine), follow the instructions of a toddler size.
Toddler size: skip row 4, and on the 5th row you must skip a st after the 3DC.  For the rib part, you must have 48DC.


Ch = Chains
Sc = simple crochet
DC = Double crochet
FpSt = Front-post st
BpSt = Back-post st
Slst = slip stitch

Magic ring ( or ring of 4 chains)
1)  12DC on magic ring.
2)  Chain 3 (counts as first DC), and 1 DC on same st.  Then reperat: *2DC on each st * (Total: 24DC)
3)  Chain 3  (counts as first DC).  2 DC on next st.  Then follow this pattern all around: *1DC on the next st, and then 2 DC together on the next st* (Total: 36DC)

End with sc on top of the first 3ch (This will leave the st in place to start  the granny pattern on the following row.  I do this instead of the traditional way, which ends with a chain and slip st, and then make slip sts until reaching the next chain-space.)
6-12> Chain 3  + 2 DC (on the space below, between the group of 3 DC´s).  Now repeat the following all around: *Chain 1 + 3 DC on 1ch-space below*, end with sc on top of the first 3 chains.
