Dewey the Raindrop

I thought the Mushkins weren't enough, so I made a little raindrop named Dewey. His current position is perfect for being a meteorologist or for lending a comforting hand.

Materials:


  • 3 skeins of Red Heart brand, I don't in particular remember the actual name of the color (I threw away the wrapper :))

  • 4 US 8 dpns

  • Embroidery scissors

  • Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:



  • K2tog - Knit 2 stitches together

  • Kfb - Knit in the front of a stitch and in the back of the same stitch

Piece:


Cast on 6 stitches and distribute between 3 dpns


Row 1: Kfb into every stitch (12)


Row 2: Knit


Row 3: Kfb into every stitch (24)


Row 4-13: Knit


Row 14: K2tog into every stitch (12)


At this point stuff to where piece looks like an egg.


Row 15: Knit


Row 16: K2tog into every stitch (6)


Row 17-19: Knit


Row 20: K2tog into every stitch (3)


Row 21-22: Knit


Break yarn and thread stitches onto tapestry needle. Pull stitches together and weave in the ends.


Arms:


Cast on 2 stitches on one dpn. Work in I-Cord.


Knit 30 rows.


Bind off as if working flat and draw I-Cord through piece to where each side has an equal amount of length. DO NOT TAKE OFF OF TAPESTRY NEEDLE!! Poke needle through piece to where arm makes a handle-like loop. Weave in the ends.


Finishing:


Take black yarn and wrap around 1 stitch 4 times, repeat. Space eyes 2 stitches apart.


For the little glint, duplicate stitch down 5 stitches vertically. Weave in the ends for eyes and glint.


Extra Note:


This pattern is for personal use only. Please do not sell or distribute this pattern without consent, thank you.
