Scalemate Pattern

Hi friends - I got a request to share my scalemate pattern! And.. because of the weirdness of tumblr messages, I don’t remember who! So I hope this makes it back to whatever fellow Homestuck fan requested it - let’s make some piles of plushies!  As usual, if anyone uses this pattern, please link back to my page, and also send me a picture! I’d love to see what people make! I want to see an army of scalemates!

I used a 3mm crochet hook, and Red Heart Super Saver yarn in “Spring Green”. I’m certain, however, that Homestuck fans will be keen to choose their own color and associated scalemate name scheme - for example, this little fella is named Rear Admiral Applebottom.

^Head:

This is definitely the hardest part of the scalemate! My idea for the head was to start with the snout and crochet out, instead of just making a round head and sewing a snout on - it makes the face smoother, but also gives you a bit of a surprise as to what the shape becomes when you stuff it - if it becomes too rounded, I just kind of smoosh more definition into the face?? The trick here, is that in one row, I put all the increases on one side of the circle so that it flares out into the forehead area.

(3 sc, inc) 6x to make 30 stitches

(4 sc, inc) 6x to make 36 stitches

5 rows of 36 stitches

(4 sc, dec) 6x to make 30 stitches

(At this point, you can perform this step I describe below before finishing closing off the head, but I truly don’t think it made much of a difference!)

Stuff the head, then finish closing

1 sc, dec 6x to make 12 stitches

^ Optional Step

Here’s something that I tried, but didn’t seem to make too much of a difference and you can likely skip it if you want. I tried to make an indent where the eyes go by using a sewing needle and thread and catching a bit of the yarn where the eye should go, then pulling it in and tying a knot. In the end, this really didn’t make a difference in how the head looked, and I don’t even think it makes sense with the design of scalemates, so PLEASE feel free to skip this - I was mostly experimenting with new techniques!

^ Adding eyes:

These buttons came in a sewing repair kit that I picked up at some point in my life, but they were almost exactly the size of 12mm safety eyes! The one important thing to remember is that since you’re sewing eyes on rather than using safety eyes, they ARE less safe! Don’t let animals or small children chew them off!? Other than that, how exciting it is to be able to choose the eye color - I’m sure at craft stores there are lots of great color and style options!

Spikes and Tail:

Ok, this part is very straight forward! The one challenging thing is to start crocheting around that small (3 stitches) magic circle - I find that to give them a sharper point, I push my crochet hook into the spike to stretch it out before stuffing.

Small spikes (make 2)

3 sc in a magic circle

(1 sc, inc) 3x to make 6 stitches

2 rows of 6 stitches

medium spikes (make 2)

3 sc in a magic circle

(1 sc, inc) 3x to make 6 stitches

1 row of 6 stitches

(2sc, inc) 2x to make 8 stitches

2 rows of 8 stitches

large spikes (make 3, use one for tail)

3 sc in a magic circle

(1 sc, inc) 3x to make 6 stitches

, 1 row of 6 stitches

inc 6x to make 12 stitches

3 rows of 12 stitches

Leave a long tail of yarn at the end of each spike, stuff them, and sew them onto the head. I would recommend using pins to hold them in place so that I can make sure they go on as symmetrically as possible.

^ Body:

This body is super straight forward - I imagine that you can actually do color changes to make the tummy out of yarn, but I chose to make the tummy with felt - either one I’m sure will look fine!

6 sc in a magic circle 

inc 6x to make 12 stitches  

(1 sc, inc) 6x to make 18 stitches

(2 sc, inc) 6x to make 24 stitches

(3 sc, inc) 6x to make 30 stitches

(4 sc, inc) 6x to make 36 stitches

(4 sc, dec) 6x to make 30 stitches

1 row of 30 stitches

(3 sc, dec) 6x to make 24 stitches

2 rows of 24 stitches

(2 sc, dec) 6x to make 18 stitches

4 rows of 18 stitches

Leave a long tail of yarn and sew the body onto the head after stuffing! And while you’re at it, sew that tail on as well! 

^ Legs:

I’m so happy with how these turned out - to make them, I started with a chain 6 (the bottom of the foot), and crocheted around it. Then again I did some uneven decreases to make sure that the bottom of the leg was flush with the ground while the foot was somewhat distinct from the leg. Again, when it comes to yarn work, some fudging and hand-shaping goes a long long way!

sc around the chain to make 12 stitches

(1 sc, inc) 6x to make 18 stitches

With the decreases, the reason the decreases came in such a weird spot for me was that I wanted the 3 (or 2) decreases to happen OVER the TOP of the leg - so however it turns out for you, just make sure you’re not decreasing on the long end of the oval!!!!

3 sc, dec 3x, finish with sc to make 15 stitches

3 sc, dec 3x, finish with sc to make 12 stitches

3 sc, dec 2x, finish with sc to make 10 stitches

3 rows of 10 stitches

Leave a long tail on the legs and sew them on to the body! 

The final thing I added was a little white tummy, which I just cut from felt and sewed on. Of course, any color will work, this is just what I happened to have on hand as I made the Admiral relatively early on in my crochet career. 

And that’s all! I’m afraid I didn’t take great pictures while I was making him, so apologies for that. If you get stuck on something in the pattern or something is looking wrong, please feel free to message me. Other than that, this is all in all a fairly simple amigurumi, especially compared to the massive work of art that is Homestuck. Happy crocheting!

Of course vicait is overly sexualised.

I support absolutely everything you said about Lin

W: 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms.

I’ll be honest, I have a really hard time choosing favorite characters, so I’m just going to go through and pick the characters I’m really feeling right at the moment.

Demona (Gargoyles)

This is how you do a complicated villain right.

Demona is a villain on account of the multiple murders and genocide attempts. She’s a tragic villain because of how much she’s fucked over her own life, and because of how deep in denial she is about accepting responsibility for her own actions. Yeah, she’s an ever-present danger who’s done a lot of damage and caused a lot of misery, but she’s also a giant ball of self-loathing who’s barely had a single happy day for the past thousand years.

And even when you want her to be stopped, for her to open her eyes, for the protagonists to be kept safe from her and her schemes... you really can’t help but feel for her as well.

Lin Beifong (Legend of Korra)

Dear sweet Raava, there is so much I love about Lin. She’s a badass older lady in a position of authority. She’s single and clearly not looking. She has prominent facial scars and, though we do eventually learn their origin, they’re never played up as a source of angst for “ruining her looks”; they’re just there. She’s a woman who’s canonically childfree and never changes her mind, and fuck if she isn’t the only non-villainous example of that I can think of offhand.

If I have one major complaint about Lin, it’s that she wasn’t really used to her full potential. She got Worfed a lot. She was shown to be a lot more unhappy in comparison to her sister who settled down and started a family and found it very fulfilling. And, out of all the many, many legitimate issues she had with her mother, the fact that she never knew her father was the one the writers chose to have her fixate on? Really?

Even for all the less-than-stellar writing choices surrounding her, though, Lin is still an awesome character. She’s badass, she’s flawed, she has baggage, she gets development, and damn it I wanted to see more of her.

Klavier Gavin (Ace Attorney series)

I mean, there are a lot of really good characters in these games, so it was hard to choose, but in the end, I decided to go with one who I thought was a little bit underrated.

I’m honestly most interested in Klavier as an antagonist who’s nevertheless a legitimately good person: he’s always honest even when it’s personally painful, he might tease you a lot but he never gets truly mean or resorts to physical violence, and while he opposes you professionally because it’s his job and he’s going to do it to the best of his ability, he doesn’t make it personal or turn it into some sort of toxic oneupmanship where he always has to come out on top. He just holds himself to high standards and demands you do the same, and that frankly puts him ahead of most if not all of the other prosecutors in these games.

Not to mention, there are hints of some seriously dark threads in his relationship with his brother (you know, the serial killer) that are just begging to be pulled on. (And I won’t deny I very much appreciated the fact that the not-evil sibling was the most over-the-top flamboyant one.)

Kikyo (Inuyasha)

Apparently I really want to piss off the rest of the fandom right now, but I also just really like Kikyo?

Like most of the characters in this series, Kikyo went through so much horrible traumatic shit that is never getting fixed. Unlike most of the other characters, though, she gets very little sympathy either in-universe or out. And I think that’s a shame, because it really illustrates the ways in which we still prioritize “good victims” who only react to their trauma in ways that are acceptably pretty. Kikyo’s trauma? Is not pretty. I like that she got to lash out and hurt other people and cope in ways that were incredibly toxic to herself and to everyone around her.

There’s so much focus in this fandom about how Kagome healed Inuyasha’s heart, yadda yadda yadda, but hardly anyone seems to care about the fact that Kikyo clawed her way up out of that emotional cesspit without having anyone to support or heal her. Inuyasha certainly tried to help her, but she made it clear pretty early on that she didn’t want his help, and their early interactions post-resurrection were so corrosive to him that, for his own sake, it really was for the better that his efforts didn’t succeed. What happened instead was that she rose above it all on her own, let go of her revenge quest, chose to do the right thing, and ended the story in a much better place than she was in when she started. Frankly I think that’s far more powerful than just having a love interest kiss it all better.

And if you can only see her through the lens of the fucking love triangle, or for her impact on Inuyasha, I’m sorry to say I think you’re missing out on a really great character.

Integra Hellsing (Hellsing Ultimate)

My relationship with Integra is best summed up by “Sexuality, meet Questioning”.

Most of my enjoyment of Integra comes from the fact that she is just so unapologetically badass. And yes, she is an extremely morally gray character who causes a lot of collateral damage. Literally the only reason she looks good in context is because the people she’s up against are both literal and human monsters. But damn it, sometimes “unapologetically badass and morally gray” is exactly what I’m craving.

And, physically, she’s actually one of the least powerful members of the cast. In a world crawling with life-sucking Eldritch Abominations and superpowered freaks of nature, she routinely holds her own with little more than utter fearlessness and damn good aim. And maybe it’s because of that that she leaves the biggest impression. She has literal monsters at her beck and call, not because she’s forced them into servitude, but because she has fucking earned their respect. She’s a born leader and she knows how to delegate, but she isn’t afraid to get her own hands dirty if need be. In a world where she should be at every disadvantage—on account of her age, her gender, or simply the fact that she’s an ordinary, non-superpowered human—she still manages to come out on top again and again just by being skilled and clever and ruthless and leaning on an abundance of sheer raw charisma. Not once in the series does she ever show doubt or fear, she never once wavers, and she never backs down.

She’s horrible.

I love her.
