My boyfriend has griped that I’ve made so many things for everyone else and forgotten about him. It’s not that I forgot it’s just that he is a polar bear and any sort of warm hat or scarf would be unwanted. So I set out to find something amazing to make for him. I decided on a blanket. This blanket would star his favorite video game Character: Vivi from FF9. Unfortunately this dream of a blanket has yet to come true. I made the Vivi pictured above by using this cross stitch pattern:
Sadly I could not make the rest of the blanket. I just can’t seem to find the right stitch to do so. So for now he has an awesome tiny vivi blanket.
To try and make up for the Vivi blanket fail I made him this Deadmau5 desk accessory.
Incase you are confused by the dead mouse head. Deadmau5 is one of my boyfriend’s favorite DJ’s and his mouse head is iconic in the electronic music world.
The Body was made using the Crochet Ball video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgBL7jfm1rc
The Ears: I just ‘winged’ it. I made a circle and gradually increased the stitch till it was the size needed. The edging of the ears is done with a single crochet stitch. The eyes and mouth were done with the same ‘winged’ technique.
