Pattern Notes
Increasing stitches are labelled as ‘2dc’ and this means work 2 dc into the same
stitch.

Decreasing stitches are labelled as ‘2dctog’ and should be worked into the front
loops; they are worked as follows:

Insert hook into 1st stitch, yarn over and pull through stitch (2 loops on
hook), then insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through stitch (3
loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

(2dc, 1dc) x 6 means that the part in brackets (2dc, 1dc) needs to be repeated 6 times.
The numbers in brackets at the end of a Round e.g. (9) are the stitch counts for each
Round.

BLO. This means work the stitches into the Back Loops Only, so instead of going under
the 2 loops in the stop of a stitch, you just work into the back loop.

Tapestry Crochet. The majority of this pattern requires tapestry crochet—this is to get
the purple patches to sit within the work. There is a tutorial at the end of this pattern
that shows the basics of carrying yarn and swapping colours throughout a project.

Assembling Sulley. Most items will need to be stitched to another item, so when fas-
tening off it is recommended to leave a long tail for this purpose. Assembly instruc-
tions are at the end of the pattern.

YARN

If you want to use the exact yarn as the Sulley in photos, here are the details:

Bright Blue—Knit Craft Cotton Blend Plain DK 100g 50% Cotton 50% Acrylic
Lilac—Knit Craft Cotton Blend Plain DK 100g 50% Cotton 50% Acrylic

Legs
The legs and body are made as one piece
of crochet (the first leg is made separately,
but this is then worked into the body once
the 2nd leg has been made).
LEG 1 Use a 3.00mm hook and work as
continuous rounds, use a stitch marker to
mark the start of each round.
Beginning the Body
Round 14 (use stitch markers to help with
this Round)
With the hook and yarn still attached to
LEG 2, chain 3, then work 1dc into each
stitch around the top of LEG 1.

Make a Magic Ring and chain 1,

Round 1 6dc into ring (6)
Round 2 2dc into each stitch around (12)
Round 3 (1dc, 2dc) x 6 (18)
Round 4 (1dc, 1dc, 2dc) x 6 (24)
Round 5 (1dc, 2dc) x 12 (36)
Round 6 1dc around (36)
Round 7 (1dc, 2dctog) x 12 (24)
Round 8 1dc around in BLO (24)
Round 9 (start carrying the purple yarn)
1dc x 4 blue, 1dc x 4 purple, 1dc x 16
blue (24)
Round 10 Repeat Round 9 (24)
Round 11 1dc x 5 blue, 1dc x 3 purple,
1dc x 16 blue (24)
Round 12 to 13 1dc all around in blue
(24)
Fasten off and sew in all ends.

Then work 1dc into one side of each of the

3 CHAINS

LEG 2 Repeat all steps above but do not

fasten off after Round 13

The next step is to crochet the legs togeth-

er and also to begin the body at the same
time.

So the first Round of the body is Round 14

Tail
Use a 3.00mm crochet hook and blue
yarn.
Instead of working each round separately,
the tail is worked continuously.
Tail Spikes
The spikes are worked directly onto the
tail, and each spike is worked around a
stitch on the tail.
Use a 3.00mm hook and purple yarn.

Make a Magic Ring and chain 1, then Put a slip knot onto the hook, then join
work 4dc into the ring. yarn to a stitch near the tip of the tail.

Then work the following sequence of

stitches; you should see a cone shape
forming.

(2dc, 1dc x 3) x 4
(2dc, 1dc x 12) x 3
(2dc, 1dc x 18) x 3

Then (chain 2, 1tr, 1htr) around the same
stitch, then Slip Stitch around the next
stitch along the tail. Fasten off.

From here work 1dc continuously until

the tail is about 10cm long—or however
long you would like it to be.

Work the spikes evenly along the tail,

missing 1 or 2 stitches between each
spike. Sew in all ends.

Fasten off, then sew in ends. Stuff lightly.

Assembling Sulley
First of all, sew all the facial features to the
head. Pin in position first until you have the
correct arrangement, then neatly sew them all
in place.

Use some black thread and sew on a lop-sided

smile, then cut out a small triangle of white
felt and glue it on one side of the mouth.

Next, pin the arms to the top of the neck hole, make sure they are evenly spaced and
they look right when you look at him from the front. Then sew them securely in place.

Position the head, his head kind of sits forward a little bit and he has hunched shoul-
ders, so the head should be quite low down. Pin it as best you can, then sew in posi-
tion.

Sew along the neck hole that is closest to the head first, then sew again from the back
of the neck hole and pull it tight. If there are any gaps to the sides, stitch those up as
well.
Also put a stitch underneath the chin and sew his head to the body, this will keep it
from flopping around.

Finally, pin the tail on the back between the legs, and neatly sew in
position.

Sew in all ends.

How To Guide—Tapestry Crochet

Tapestry crochet is a really good way of creating lovely designs within a crochet project.
Sulley has purple patches all over his body, so rather than creating the patches sepa-
rately, it makes more sense to work them into the pattern.
Two colours will be in use all the time and it’s just a matter of changing between them
to create the patches. The non-working colour is carried within the stitches, and is hid-
den from view (so the stitches need to be nice and tight).

How to Change Colour

In the final stitch before a colour change, instead of completing the stitch, you have to
complete it with the 2nd colour, see instructions below:

Work the stitch until Yarn over with the The loop on the hook
just before the final new colour and finish should be the new
