I'm Kara & I like to make nerdy things with yarn

Christmas Wreath

Yay it’s almost the Christmas season! We’ll ignore the fact that my house is fully decorated, the tree is already up, and the Christmas music is blasting in my car; it’ll be here before we know it and I like to enjoy it as much as I can. I found any empty wall that could use a small decoration and so here is my Christmas Wreath crochet pattern! If you like big red bows, this one is definitely for…

Wintry Gingham Pillow

Make your own cozy holiday pillow this winter with my crochet gingham pillow pattern! I enjoy the soft blues of the winter but you could also do a red, buffalo plaid version if that fits your holiday aesthetic. I designed this gingham pattern with no need to carry any yarn and minimal color changes so even beginners can try their hand at this checkered look. Full of half-double crochets, this…

Hot Chocolate Ornament

Need a quick holiday gift idea or new ornament for your Christmas tree this year? I present to you my incredibly adorable and perfect-for-the-holidays hot cocoa amigurumi! My crochet ornament pattern for this very cute cup of hot chocolate is the perfect handmade touch to your holiday decorations and can be personalized with a bit of embroidery to commemorate the year. You will find the written…

Striped Pumpkins

Here is my free & easy crochet pattern for a cute striped pumpkin. This one pattern can have FOUR different looks! I love the popping color of Impeccable Speckle in Hot Sunshine in between rows of black, but I also love when the colors are reversed. I couldn’t possibly choose between them so this pattern shows you how the striped pumpkins look with both color options and also the front and back…

Alligator Bean

Here’s a free alligator crochet pattern! This little bean works as a cute alligator or crocodile amigurumi! It’s a quick project; made of simple shapes with simple stitches so it’s fairly beginner friendly, but you should be familiar with several stitches and sewing pieces together. My bean designs are small enough to make plushie keychains so they make great gifts and merch for your craft fair…

I don't use variegated yarn often, but @redheartyarns stripes was perfect for the Loveby owl!

Happy new Pokemon weekend! Are you playing? Did you get Sword or Shield? Who is your starter?? I'm not playing quite yet because I'm still working on completing Luigi's Mansion 3 & Link's Awakening.

📌A new blog post is up about the Giant Pokemon Community Project! A lot of you were inspired to make your own giant Pokemon after I made Dave and look how many of you have finished your projects (swipe ➡️)! So far we have 13/151 gen one Pokemon represented over 17 projects. How cool would be to complete the whole dex?! Head to khookcreations.com to see how you can get involved! . #crochet #handmade #amigurumi #maker #makersgottamake #fiberart #fiberartist #yarn #khookcreations #yarnpunk #nintendo #igersnintendo #crochetersofig #amigurumilove #pokemon #pokemongo #twitchcreative #giantpokemon #crochetpokemon #crochetersofinstagram #crochetisbae #crochetallday #crocheteveryday #makeitwithmichaels #yarnspirations #crochetinspiration #crochetinspo https://www.instagram.com/p/B4kouVCHYWh/?igshid=1evjt7z8rziss

After I finished Dave the Psyduck, a lot of you were interested in starting your own giant Pokemon and thus the community project for a complete 151 Pokedex of giant Pokemon was born!

When?

This project doesn’t really have a deadline, we just want to see all gen one Pokemon in giant form eventually. Gotta catch ’em all!

How big is giant?

I thought a minimum of 12 inches tall or long was a good place to start.

Does it have to be crochet?

No! Use whatever creative materials you’d like as long as it’s physical and 3D.

How do I sign up?

There is a sign up form pinned in the #giant-pokemon-project Discord channel. Only submit 1 or 2 claims at a time just to give others the opportunity to claim. If you finish making one, you can claim another.

Can I claim a Pokemon someone has already claimed or made?

Yes! The claim sheet is only there to help us keep track of which Pokemon have been made and which ones are being worked on. We can absolutely have more than one of a single Pokemon, the more the merrier! But if we want to complete the Pokedex, we’ll need people to sign up for ones that haven’t been made yet.

Where can I get help/ideas?

Join the Discord! All things related to this project are posted in the #giant-pokemon-project channel. My Psyduck post also goes over how I made him, including my yarn & hook choices. It might also help you figure out how much material you’ll need.

What do I do with the finished project?

You can keep them! If you’d rather not keep a giant Pokemon in your house, consider donating them to this cause: https://stuffedanimalsforemergencies.org/volunteer. You could also run a raffle or try to sell them at a craft fair or ComicCon!

So far, we have 13/151 Pokemon represented over 17 completed projects!

Here is a gallery of everyone’s finished projects so far. I’ll keep updating this post as projects are completed. If you need motivation to keep going, try posting some of your work-in-progress photos in the Discord and look at others’. You got this!

#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Eventually, I would like to have a fancy page or document that shows these off like an actual Pokedex. If you’d have any ideas on how to do that, let’s get in touch!
