Sorry I haven't posted a pattern in awhile. I've been... working. It's weird, it's almost like I'm an adult now! I originally made this about three weeks ago, and there was a positive response. I figure there's at least another sick fuck out there.
Also, I'd appreciate it if you didn't flame my comments. Don't like it? Don't make it. Look how easy that was! Haters be hatin'.
So, without further ado, here is my Fetus in a Jar pattern!

Admittedly, I have not tested this pattern yet, so if there are errors PLEASE let me know and I'll correct them! It's a bit more complicated that my normal patterns.
Materials:
-F hook
-Polyfil
-Pink Cotton Yarn
-Red Cotton Yarn
-Felt or Safety Eyes
-Tapestry Needle
-1 Mason Jar
Abbreviations:
-sc single crochet
-invdec invisible decrease
-inc increase
-trc triple (or treble) crochet
-ch chain
-sl st slip stitch
As usual ** means to crochet around

3. *1sc in next st, then inc* (18)
4. *1sc in next 2 st, then inc* (24)
5-11. sc around

27. *sc 1, invdec* until you come to a point (tip of the tail). Cut and FO.
Arms(x 2):
1. ch 9, in 2nd ch from hook, 3 trc
2. sl st across, FO and stitch to body
Umbilical Cord:
1. Cut three pieces of yarn the same length, two pink and one red (or vice versa)
2. Thread them into the belly button area of fetus. You should effectively have six strings.
3. Mix up the colors if you'd like for a more interesting pattern. Divide into three sections and braid the umbilical cord.
4. Cut a short piece of string and tie around the end of the braid to keep it from unraveling.
Congrats! You have a fetus!

And for those of you too lazy to whip it up, here it is, conveniently for your purchase! ;)

I'm a poor college student and you'd be my hero! :D
I'm not trying to be a hater...but what inspired this?!
ReplyDeleteYou should check out my blog. I saw this on 'What not to crochet" and didn't know there was a pattern, so I created my own fetus. And then like ten more. You can read the whole story on the blog...

Thanks for the inspiration!
Made two of these today. I got lost the first time and ended up with the stomach growing on the side of my fetus O_O
ReplyDeleteWhen I went back to make a second one I noticed a couple problems with the directions not corresponding to the round's stitch count ().
Figured I'd let you know.
The math problems in brackets are the only three that don't add up.
18. sc 8, inc, sc 9 (18)
[8 + 2 + 9 = 19]
19. sc 8, inc x2, sc 8 (20)
20-21. sc around
22. sc 8, invdec, sc 9 (19)
[8 + 1 + 9 = 18]
23. sc 8, invdec, sc 8 (18)
[8 + 1 + 8 = 17]
