Ancient Hearthian (Outer Wilds) Pattern

I got so many requests for the ancient Hearthian from Outer Wilds, and they really are so much simpler than the Nomai - but also, my notes and pics are a bit less detailed, and I've been so bad at even getting on my computer lately - so lemme try and cobble this together so anyone interested at least has something to work with!

Technical stuff: 3mm crochet hook, 9mm safety eyes, Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Jade, probably... but any nice shade would do!

Body:

They start as one long piece that kinda looks like a tadpole! A lot of the shaping is just by gentle smooshing it, but there are a few rows where you increase or decrease unevenly to contribute to it... I'm not even sure how much it really makes a difference tho!

6 sc in a magic circle

inc 6x to make 12 stitches

(3 inc, 3 sc) 2x to make 18 stiches (and a slightly elongated oval rather than circular cross section when looking face on)

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

9 rows of 24

Add eyes and begin to stuff

Across the "top" of the body (wherever you choose that to be) do (1 sc, 1 dec) 3x, then 15 more sc to make a row of 21 stitches

Again across the "top" of the body do (1 sc, 1 dec) 3x, then 12 more sc to make a row of 18 stitches

From here, it's slow decreases (still at the top) and stuffing as you go:

(1 sc, 1 dec) 2x then sc around to make a row of 16

1 dec then sc around to make a row of 15

1 dec then sc around to make a row of 14

1 dec then sc around to make a row of 13

1 dec then sc around to make a row of 12

2 dec then sc around to make a row of 10

1 dec then sc around to make a row of 9

1 row of 9

1 dec then sc around to make a row of 8

3 rows of 8

2 dec then around to make a row of 6, fasten off and hide tail

Feet and Legs:

It looks like I really winged it a bit here, so let me try and figure out approximately what I did - the main idea is I think I made a very small tube for the feet, then pulled the tails through to the center, chained into a random stitch, and and did a few chains up and down to give it a short leg, then used those tails as well to sew them on to the body... I'm afraid I can hardly tell what I did for those legs, even looking at it in person, like it might just be a few knots... I am hoping that for here it isn't too much trouble for you to improvise something that works well for you!:

4 sc in a magic circle

3 rows of 4, then close off and pull the tails through the small cylinder, out the center

chain into a random stitch, then into an adjacent stitch,

sc "around" these two for 2-3 rows, to make a short leg

use the rest of the tail to sew onto the body.

Very messy, possibly blurry.... but hopefully this at least gives a bit more inspiration.

Ok, again, I apologize, it's not my best pattern, but I hope it will give people a starting point! Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need them, although as I mentioned, I'm not on tumblr much now a days. Don't forget to check out my Nomai pattern here! And as always, give me a tag here or @ erin.gurumi on instagram if you make one! I love to see them!

FOTH Corsola (Galar form)

Corsola looks so sad 🥺

Ghost pokemon are so interesting to crochet!! This one the spikes are supposed to be translucent and since I can't crochet the air itself I unplied some off-white yarn and made the overall shape of each spike and then frayed some extra yarn to overlay around that for a wispy effect. But omg seeing Galar Corsola as a crochet really highlights how they're like, Dead dead rock bits because the main crocheted bit is just an oval. a pebble 😭

Enoch (Over the Garden Wall) Crochet Pattern

Disclaimer:

This pattern has a lot of sewing. You've been warned! I couldn't find a way to minimize the sewing and still have the same color changes and composition I wanted.

Materials

Two different greens (Green 1 and Green 2) and orange yarn (I used a Medium sized yarn) Appropriately sized Crochet Hook (I used a 3.5mm hook) Black, soft brown and off-white felt to make the face details (If you can't find off-white felt, like me, buy white felt and paint it off-white with acrylic paint) Stitch Markers Tapestry Needle Fiberfill Scissors Sewing Pins

Techniques

Magic Ring (mr) Chain (ch) Single Crochet (sc) Increase (inc) Decrease (dec) Skip a stitch (skip)

Head

----- Using ORANGE Round 1: 8sc into a magic ring [8] ----- The next two rounds are worked on the stitches from Round 1 Round 1.5: FLO 8sc [8] ----- Attach a stitch marker to the first stitch of Round 1.5 for later Round 2: BLO 8inc [16] Round 3: (sc, inc) * 8 [24] Round 4: (sc, inc, sc) * 8 [32] Round 5: (3sc, inc) * 8 [40] Round 6: (2sc, inc, 2sc) * 8 [48] Round 7: (5sc, inc) * 8 [56] Round 8 - 16: 56sc [56] Round 17: (5sc, dec) * 8 [48] Round 18: (2sc,dec, 2sc) * 8 [40] Round 19: (3sc, dec) *8 [32] Round 20: (sc, dec, sc) * 8 [24] ----- Stuff ----- The next two rounds are worked on the stitches from Round 20 Round 20.5: FLO (sc, dec) * 8 [16] ----- Attach a stitch marker to the first stitch of Round 20.5 for later Round 21: BLO (2sc, skip) * 8 [16] Round 22: 8dec [8] ----- Stuff

Fasten off and leave an extra long tail. It should be able to wrap around your head 10 times.

Pass the yarn under a stitch from round 20.5. Wrap the yarn over and around the pumpkin and divide it in two. Pass the yarn under another stitch from round 20.5. Pull the yarn tight and secure it with a knot. Repeat this two more times until your pumpkin is divided in 6 parts.

Pass the yarn through the pumpkin from bottom to top to work on his top embellishment.

Starting from the stitch marker on the head's round 1.5

Round 1: 8inc [16] Round 2: (2sc, inc) * 5, sc [21] Fasten off and weave in the tail.

Body

----- Starting with GREEN 1 from the stitch marker on the head's round 20.5

Arms (x2)

----- You can crochet around a wire to give the arms more structure ----- Using GREEN 1 22ch (Skip the chain if you're using a wire) Skipping the first chain from the hook and 21 sl st Leave a long tail for sewing

GREEN 1 Stripes (x9)

----- Using GREEN 1 27ch Skipping the first chain from the hook and 26 sl st Leave a long tail for sewing

GREEN 2 Stripes (x11)

----- Using GREEN 2 27ch Skipping the first chain from the hook and 26 sl st Leave a long tail for sewing

Assembly

Using sewing pins, attach all the stripes and the arms and stripes alternating greens. Once you're happy with the placement, sew everything.

Using felt, cut the following shapes: 2 soft brown circles 2 black circles (smaller than the brown ones) 1 skinny black heart that will serve as a nose 1 soft brown oval 1 off-white oval (smaller than the brown one) ----- To make the teeth, I just cut the smile and then vertical lines. When it was time to glue it on the brown oval, I separated them a bit for that teeth effect. Glue everything and you're done!

[dangerphd]

do you hate starting a crochet project by fiddling with a long chain?

perhaps foundation crochet stitch is your solution, as it is mine!

I find it an excellent way to start anything other than a square/ring that will be crocheted in a spiral (e.g. flat rounds), like an oval rug or a granny rectangle, in addition to being a neat and tidy edge. (for a square/ring, I prefer magic circle).

[narcissistcookbook]

Hello, how round is teddys head? I would like to crochet them a gift !

Teddy's head is wider than it is... uh... deep? long?

So it's more like an oval

[kaylinalexanderbooks]

OC Deep Dive

Thanks to @mysticstarlightduck here, @illarian-rambling here,

Rules: answer the following questions for your OCs!

I've already done Lexi, Maddie, Ash, and Gwen for this! Let's do another batch of characters!

It was a mistake doing six characters this time, but the time I realized it was getting too long, I didn't want to individually cut two of them. So this is what we got: a very long post. So it's below the cut.

What uncommon/common fear do they have?

Noelle - She doesn't like her privacy being violated. She wants to keep her things to herself. She also doesn't like crowds.

Rose - She fears that she'll be trapped forever and never accomplish anything.

Kelsey - Accidentally harming her loved ones, specifically her younger cousins

Robbie - He does worry about losing relationships or being lonely, and not being strong enough to protect those he cares about

Akash - Similar to Robbie, but specifically being abandoned or left out

Hye-Jin - she listens to true crime podcasts sometimes so she sometimes becomes a little paranoid that someone's going to break into her house

Do they have any pet peeves?

Noelle - meandering, not getting to the point, excessive brainstorming, illogical thinking, inconsistency

Rose - whenever someone says something a little rude or inconsiderate, especially if they imply she has done something wrong

Kelsey - whenever she's being forced to do something that she doesn't want to do, especially if they're mean about it (if they asked politely she'd probably have done it!)

Robbie - he doesn't like it when people make assumptions about him that aren't true, or make similar assumptions about others that aren't true. Also whenever someone makes a noise during a test

Akash - someone being disrespectful, specifically being interrupted

Hye-Jin - she really likes being acknowledged for her hard work, so if she works her butt off at something, she at least expects a half-hearted "thanks".

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?

Refraining from sarcasm.... Ahhhh

Noelle - folded laundry, neat small shelf of books, and a desk where she works on her homework

Rose - sketches of outfits she's drawn taped all over the wall, a dresser with a bunch of stickers on it, and an art table where she keeps her supplies

Kelsey - crochet supplies and some projects she's made for herself, a bunch of books on top of her dresser she can read to her cousins, and an oval mirror on the wall

Robbie - probably a basket of clean laundry he hasn't folded/put away yet, a desk where he keeps his laptop that totally isn't disorganized (he knows where things are!!) and a bookshelf with novels and manga

Akash - a mirror that has stickers along the sides, a small bookshelf of favorite books, and a couple sports posters

Hye-Jin - her pet lizard Luna, many shelves and bulletin boards of all the medals and ribbons and other prizes in the same vein, and a very newly organized desk with a lamp

What do they notice first in a person?

Noelle - general demeanor

Rose - what they're wearing

Kelsey - what mood they're in

Robbie - whatever vibe they give off

Akash - figure/outfit

Hye-Jin - height/how pretty they are

On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?

Noelle - 8/10

Rose - 5/10

Kelsey - 4/10

Robbie - 8/10 (only due to powers)

Akash - 7/10

Hye-Jin - 10/10

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?

Noelle - freeze

Rose - fight

Kelsey - flight

Robbie - fight

Akash - freeze

Hye-Jin - flight

Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?

Noelle - no, it's just her and her mom, but she's definitely a family person

Rose - no to both

Kelsey - yes, she lives in a house with four adults and several young cousins, and she is a family person especially for her cousins

Robbie - not really, it's only one sibling and his parents (+Akash) but he is a family person

Akash - if you count the Staffords he has a decent sized family, and he is a family person

Hye-Jin - she also has one brother and her parents, but she's definitely not super close or anything

What animal represents them best?

Noelle - probably an owl

Rose - butterfly

Kelsey - black cat

Robbie - golden retriever

Akash - I feel like a wolf

Hye-Jin - axolotl

What is a smell that they dislike?

Noelle - lavender

Rose - car fresheners

Kelsey - that rusty old metal smell

Robbie - most perfumes/cologne

Akash - y'know how your pee smells after you have asparagus?

Hye-Jin - cinnamon

Have they broken any bones?

Noelle - no

Rose - yes

Kelsey - yes

Robbie - yes

Akash - no

Hye-Jin - no

How would a stranger likely describe them?

Let's pretend it's a peer from school.

Noelle - “Damn, that girl is tall. I'm a little confused on her name, I've seen her respond to Noelle and Carissa. She really stands out, man, but only due to her height, y'know? Like she's kinda plain looking right? And she seems a little distant I guess.”

Rose - “That girl is always drawing something. I see her talking pretty often though. Like she's reserved but not that shy. I think she's really pretty and has a cool sense of style. I wonder what goes on in her head.”

Kelsey - “Who? Ohhhh, that girl. I don't know anything about her. Like, at all. She's always so quiet and doesn't talk to anyone except that girl Maddie. I think she just wants to blend into the background, but that dorky aesthetic makes her stand out. She pulls it off, though. But I can't tell you anything else.”

Robbie - “That Robbie guy is super popular. Never had a class with him, but he seems nice. My friends say he's super smart. He's also always hanging out with Akash, so he's obviously nice.”

Akash - “Oh, yeah, that kid. He seems cool. He always has a smile on and is chatting with Robbie. I heard him call his chair Ariel so he's probably super feminine or something.”

Hye-Jin - “You mean Reptile Girl? Oh yeah she's a little weird. She makes straight A's and everyone knows she'll be valedictorian. She's also in a lot of school functions. She is certainly something. She always has her headphones on. I've never seen her talk to someone.”

Are they a night owl or a morning bird?

Noelle - morning

Rose - night

Kelsey - morning

Robbie - night

Akash - morning

Hye-Jin - morning

What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?

Noelle - as a foodie she refuses to say she hates or loves any flavor because they all taste different depending on how much of it you use in a dish and what you combine it with

Rose - hates pineapple, loves pasta

Kelsey - hates avocado, loves cheese

Robbie - hates pickles, loves peanut butter

Akash - hates asparagus, loves berries

Hye-Jin - hates coffee, loves tea

Do they have any hobbies?

Noelle - cooking

Rose - art, specifically fashion design

Kelsey - crochet

Robbie - depends on what his hyperfixation is; robotics, reading, watching TV, acting

Akash - singing, reading, sketching

Hye-Jin - music, puzzles

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprises?

Noelle - even if she can appreciate the effort she hates surprises

Rose - indifferent to surprises, but I think she'd cry if she found out someone planned a surprise birthday party for her

Kelsey - eh, not the biggest fan of surprises, but if it was a low-key party she'd be deeply appreciative

Robbie - LOVES SURPRISES! He'd be so freaking happy to learn he has a surprise birthday party!!!

Akash - also loves surprises, just not as excitable as Robbie about it; a surprise birthday party would be dope but he'd see it coming

Hye-Jin - does not enjoy surprises, even less than Kelsey, but she'd be nice about it; she'd probably just be sad that the person who threw the party doesn't know her well enough to know she wouldn't like that, but would try to keep a bright face

Do they like to wear jewelry?

Noelle - just earrings

Rose - yes!!! She loves jewelery, she just doesn't own as much as she wants; usually goes with a chocker and earrings

Kelsey - yep!! When she's older she may dare to get more piercings

Robbie - is absolutely a bracelets kinda guy

Akash - yes, since I'm counting watches

Hye-Jin - yep! Necklace, earrings, and a couple bracelets

Do they have neat or messy handwriting?

Noelle - neat

Rose - slightly messy, very loopy

Kelsey - not as neat as she wants but not messy

Robbie - messy

Akash - neat

Hye-Jin - neat and loopy

What are the two emotions they feel the most?

Noelle - apprehension and confliction

Rose - hope and longing

Kelsey - compassion and worry

Robbie - protectiveness and excitement

Akash - gratitude and guilt

Hye-Jin - enthusiasm and love

Not sure if these are feelings more than emotions but oh well

Do they have a favorite fabric?

Noelle - idk cotton? Polyester? Viscose? She doesn't care

Rose - she has to pick a favorite??? All??? What garment???

Kelsey - polyester

Robbie - cotton or polyester or denim

Akash - viscose and cotton

Hye-Jin - chiffon

Idk I just picked mainly what I see them wearing

What kind of accent do they have?

I'll provide where they grew up and also their parents or other languages they know that could influence their way of pronouncing certain phonemes. Hopefully that gives an idea. Most of their parents are Alii (weird exceptions, don't make me explain) but I'll give the accent closest to what their accents would sound like.

Noelle - from suburban Houston area but also only with her mom, who has what to our ears sounds like an English accent

Rose - also from suburban Houston area, is bilingual and speaks Spanish (Mexican dialect) at home

Kelsey - from suburban Houston area and parents are also from there

Robbie - from suburban Dallas-Fort Worth area, parents have what is close to English and German accents, bilingual as he does know "Alii German"

Akash - from suburban Dallas-Fort Worth area, bilingual and speaks Hindi with his mom

Hye-Jin - from suburban Houston area, she's bilingual as her parents are "Alii Korean" and speak that language

Damn, that was a lot. Sorry bout that

[apocalypticdemon]

nine people i want to get to know better!!

i was tagged by the lovely @clandestinegardenias!! thank you!

Last Song: I-E-A-I-A-I-O by System of a Down! i've been branching out of my heavy metal rut of the last 6 months, but System of a Down still slaps really hard.

Favorite Color: hmmmm i really like lush jewel tones, so i think i have to go with like a deep burgundy right now, but the green of spring vegetation in full sun is a very, very close second

Currently Watching: well. i'm in the middle of a The Terror rewatch right now (again....) but the literal last thing I just watched was the IndyCar Grand Prix in Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, CA. but in terms of new shows, i'm not watching new stuff rn.

Last Movie: Mad God. what a fucking trip that film is. jesus. stop-motion horror film. visually gorgeous. disgusting. it was my second time watching it, and it was again really gross and not super linear and 100% up my alley. it was so bizarre, but i am CAPTIVATED by the music (since there is no dialogue; it's only music and sfx) and i want to write a paper on it so so sososo badly.

Currently Reading: currently juggling Captain Crozier: Last Man Standing, Les Miserables, and The Wager! They're all good in their own respects, but very very different from one another, as well. The Crozier bio is a little bit lighter than I was expecting, The Wager more narrative than I was expecting, and Les Mis thus far has just been slow, but i'm in the early pages for everything but the Crozier biography, so i'm still getting used to them. Also I started Persuasion by Jane Austen last month, but haven't gotten very far yet.

Sweet, Spicy, or Savory? they all have their place, but i have such a bad sweet tooth. it trumps almost everything for me. i love sugar.

Relationship: single! i've been single since like.... my sophomore year of high school? and i'm halfway through my master's now, so it's been.... i think i'll have been single for a decade exactly this year, on my birthday. but also i'm extremely aromantic so. that does contribute to that, lmao

Current Obsession: oh it's definitely The Terror. Very much so. but IndyCar is also a quiet sports obsession of mine and i am starting to get In The Weeds for it this year. i deliberately chose to pay more attention after the 500 this year, but i've been meaning to follow the full season for a few years now, and it's been a blast! really nice to watch tbh. it's fascinating stuff, and one of the only sports i can really, truly sink my mental teeth into. also i have been crocheting like mad recently, bc it keeps me entertained and Makes Things!

Last Googled: tire strategy and regulations in IndyCar races, the differences in those regulations between oval and road courses, and the literal difference in composition between alternate and primary tires. very cool stuff. to me, at least, lmao

Currently Working On: jotting down ideas for the next two terror fics i want to work on/sketching out the plots and adaptations for both of them, getting fully trained at my job, and like 3 separate crochet projects. i have. a very scattered brain. also mentally gearing up for my second year of my master's, which is frightening, considering that i have to Write A Thesis soon lmao

oh lordt i don't know if i have 9 people to tag, but i'll tag a few: @imwritesometimes, @jbloopers, @sweetenby, @silkenbutterfly7 - if any of you want to participate, please do!

[the-iron-shoulder]

So I found this pattern by Olka Novytska and decided to make it for my third crochet project!

This pattern went fast, only about five or so days! I’m learning about stuff like crocheting in ovals (for the feet and the start of the tail), and honestly, the tail was pretty wild… but it worked, so you know what, it’s all good!

Piece is approximately 7 in / 18 cm tall without counting the ears. I’m surprised that I can get it to stand up! It’s not the MOST stable, but with a little bit of work it is actually self-supporting, so that’s exciting. Really didn’t think that would work.

I used some cardboard and some wire bread ties inside the tail to keep it from being too floppy, and that seems like it’s working.

This crochet stuff is pretty fun!

[thisisapaige]

for suptober22 day 10: enchanted

The bunker appeared massive from Dean's vantage point. The library table he stood upon was a vast prairie of finished wood. The lights overhead felt like a thousand blazing suns. The two faces staring down at him belonged to giants. Sam was always huge, but now he was King Kong-sized. Cas really was the size of the Chrysler Building. 

"What happened to him?" Cas's voice rumbled from far above, vibrating the table. 

Dean slid across the surface. Sam reached down and stopped Dean's movement with a hand the size of a turkey meant to feed a family of twelve. 

"He touched an enchanted object while we were cleaning the storage room," Sam said. He walked out of view, his footsteps echoing thunder. He returned with the object in question, a sparking green jewel wrapped in a plaid hand towel, and showed it to Cas. "I told him to be careful."

Dean would have protested, pulled a face, punched him, or something. But that Dean couldn't. Dean couldn't do much of anything. He had a featureless face save for his green button eyes, an oval body, and four rounded limbs in the approximation of legs and arms protruding from it. 

He was a crochet doll. Not even a good one.

Causing a crash and an earthquake, Cas crouched to be at eye-level with Dean. Cas's face was huge, blue eyes the size of oceans, the stubble across his cheeks a forest, and the nails on the end of his fingers resting on the table shining pools of holy light. Dean figured most people would look horrible at this angle, but Cas appeared divine, good. Dean felt like he'd snatched a small, privileged glimpse of the true form hidden under Cas's vessel. It must be beautiful.

On the other hand, Sam wasn't fairing so well from Dean's perspective. He could see right up Sam's nose. Oh, Dean was handing him the trimmer the second he had usable hands.

Cas cupped a hand around Dean's new body, his touch warm, gentle, and tingling with grace. "I can feel his presence. He is alive. Just..." 

"A half-finished amigurumi doll?" Sam sighed. The resulting wind would have launched Dean over the table's edge if Cas hadn't been holding him steady. "How do we fix him?"

Cas held his free hand out to Sam. "May I see that gem?"

Sam carefully placed the object in Cas's hand, the towel covering every piece of exposed skin. Cas stared at it, at the swirling green light in the centre, his brow wrinkling in concentration. He concentrated for so long, Dean wondered if the gem could make time stop, too. He would have that kind of luck. 

"Sam," Cas said, "please stand back."

The resulting booms indicated that Sam followed the command, then Dean's world tipped sideways. Everything blurred as he moved. Dean couldn't shut his plastic eyes to stave off the motion sickness. His yarn stomach lurched and churned, if that were possible, as he ascended up, up, up.

Finally, it stopped, and Dean realized he was safely cupped in Cas's palm. It was kind of nice if he ignored the circumstances. It was similar to lounging in a hammock, if the hammock was made out of fleshy appendages. 

Okay, Dean made it weird.

Ringing filled the room, then bright blue light blotted out everything. The blue became mixed with green, and Dean unravelled.  

Literally. 

While it didn't hurt, it was a strange sensation, like how he imagined a ferret flattening its body to shove itself through the gap in the bottom of a closed door felt. It began with his leg, the yarn stretching and spinning until it was the size of a human's, one at a time. His arms suffered the same treatment until his cotton parts turned into skin, muscle, and bone. The transformation ended when Dean's eyes formed, pushing the two buttons out until they clacked against the floor.

The light faded and the noise ceased. Cas dropped the gem, which skidded under the table, dull, dark, and lifeless. 

Dean's ears rang. His swallowed, his throat dry. Dean's limbs, Dean's human limbs, swung in the air. He blinked over and over again to clear his vision.

Holy shit, Cas held him in his arms, one hand at his back and the other at his knees. Dean didn't try to free himself, didn't want to. Instead, he rested his head against Cas's broad muscled chest. He felt Cas's eyes on him and looked up to meet them, smiling shyly. Dean could swim in that ocean.

"Hey, Cas," Dean said. "Thanks for the rescue." 

Cas tipped his head. "Of course, Dean."

Sam loudly cleared his throat from behind them. Dean and Cas paid him no mind.
