Mr.

Meeseeks Crochet Amigurumi

Hi I'm Mr. Meeseeks look at me!  Make a ton of me to help Justin Roiland and Dan
Harmon get season 3 out by July 30th!  Just be careful - we're not gods, Jeerrrrrrrry.

For this adorable little guy we're going to use Paton's Grace in Aquifer (blue/teal
colored) with a 2.75mm hook and size 10 crochet thread in Pumpkin (orange) with a
1.65mm hook for the hair.  You will also need to make details for the face, pipe cleaners
for stability in the limbs and polyfil stuffing for the body and head.  I have used small
black safety eyes and red felt for the eyes and mouth and white nail polish for the
details on the eyes and teeth.  I have also used green and white felt and sewing thread
to make a little golf vest thing and beret with a white worsted acrylic yarn for the
pompom.  Every Meeseeks has a different face and expression so make them however
you feel they should be and put them in whatever outfits you like.

If you don't have the recommended size yarn and hooks or don't feel comfortable
working in that scale, you can use any size yarn you want.  You just need to make sure
the hook you use is very snug with the yarn, as with any amigurumi.  For example if you
want to use worsted weight yarn which is most common, don't use the recommended
size hook on the yarn package.  Use a hook that is 2-3 whole hook sizes smaller.  It
should be the smallest hook size you can comfortably use without splitting the yarn and
still being able to hook it properly to pull stitches through.  Please comment below if you
need help or have questions!

Pattern:  Leave long tail on each separate piece for sewing together.

Feet/legs: Make 2 (Start at the toe of the foot and work up to the ankle, joining rounds
as you go.  Then work up the leg in a spiral.  Keep stitches loose as you work up the leg
or it will be very hard to work into them.)
1. 4sc in an adjustable ring.  Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [4]
2. (1sc, inc) 2x.  Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [6]
3. (1sc, inc) 3x.  Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [9]
4. Sc around.  Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [9]
5. In this round we will work back and forth and then continue around in decreases
to make the heel of the foot: (3sc, turn, chain 1) 3x.
Then make 4 decreases, continuing in the round:
1 (pull up one loop in the side of the heel flap and one loop from the first stitch available
in round 4)
2 & 3 (decrease across the next 4 stitches)
4 (pulling up one loop in the next stitch and one loop in the side of the heel flap.
Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [7]
6. Sc 2, dec, sc 1, dec [5]
7.  Rows 7+, work in a continuous spiral until the leg measures about 2 inches
(about 11 rows) [5]
Make 2 feet.  Then insert hook down the tube of the leg and foot to make room for the
pipe cleaner.  Bend the end of the pipe cleaner over so it inserts cleanly and insert down
into the leg until the folded tip reaches end of foot.  Leave a small amount of pipe
cleaner sticking out and fold over the tip so it is easier to insert into the body.

Body:  (Starting at the bottom of the belly and working up.  Work in a continuous spiral.)
1. 6 sc in an adjustable ring. Do not join rounds, continue working the next round
directly into first stitch. [6]

3. Sc, inc around [18]
4. Sc 2, inc around [24]
5. Sc in each stitch around [24]

Hands/Arms: Make 2 (Starting at the tip of the fingers joining rows on the hand and
working up the arm in a continuous spiral.  Keep stitches loose as you work up the leg or
it will be very hard to work into them.)
1. 4sc in an adjustable ring.  Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [4]
2. (1sc, inc) 2x.  Join to first stitch with slip stitch, chain 1. [6]

7. Rows 7 + work in a continuous spiral (about 11 rows or until the arm is as long as
you like) [5]
Make 2 arms.  Then insert hook down the tube of the arm and hand to make room for
the pipe cleaner.  Bend the end of the pipe cleaner over so it inserts cleanly and insert
down into the arm until the folded tip reaches tip of the hand.  Leave a small amount of
pipe cleaner sticking out and fold over the tip so it is easier to insert into the body.

Orange Hair:

Sc 6 in an adjustable ring and slip stitch to the first stitch.  You will now work into the
front loops only.  In each front loop, slip stitch to the loop, then chain a few (the number
is up to you and can be different for each piece of hair) and then slip stitch back down
the chains.  Work in this manner until you have 6 pieces of hair, one for each of the 6
front loops you've worked into.  Then use the back loops you did not work into to sew
the piece to the top of the head.

Assembly:

First, stuff polyfil stuffing into the body and head.

Then, attach the head to the body:  Where the last stitch of each round was joined in
both the head and body there should be an irregular bump that should line up in the
back of the doll once the head is flipped right side up.  Line these up and use the tails of
each piece to sew them together.

Attach arms and legs: push your hook or a chopstick into the body where you want the
arms and legs to be attached so there is a hole for the pipe cleaner to enter.  Insert the
arms and legs with the pipe cleaners sticking into the body.  Use the tails to sew limbs to
the body.

Attach the hair and any details to the face and you are done!
