Assembly:
Using White, red, and black yarn, sew the face/chin to the head by embroidering the pattern in the below diagram. Sew white in the top corners, sew red to border the white, and sew with black to secure the bottom of the chin. Sew a black border around the entire piece as detail, and then sew on the mouth. Bully Demise's expression is completely up to you!
sewn on the mouth, sew the mask's eye hole shapes around the safety eyes.
Sew the ears to either side of Bully Demise's head. \*\*Once you are finished with Bully's head details, take all the tail ends from your embroidery yarn and sewn on pieces and tie them all together in a big knot. Tuck the knot inside the head and sew closed.\*\* To attach the elbow pad, knee pads and wrist bands, wrap each one around its designated limb. Sew the ends together, and then stitch all the way around to attach it to the arm or leg. Bully's shirt on him and pin his arms to his sides, then sew them to the body Sew the ends of the right pant leg piece together to form a tube shape. After you have attached the knee pads, slip the pant leg onto the right knee. Sew all around the knee to attach. Back stitch with white yarn up each side to make the stripes. If you like, you can sew black laces onto the left leg boot. Insert the legs into the bottom part of the body, but only until the very tops of the thighs are hidden and the legs look proportionate (which is a relative term in Bully's case, I suppose). Pin the legs in place and sew all the way around. Make sure to stitch through the centre and back a couple of times to give the appearance of shorts.
Sew the head to the top of the body. Now, Bully Demise is ready to dominate the wrestling circuit!
Disclaimers and Other Stuff:
This is the first crochet pattern I've designed, so if you discover any discrepancies, if I have omitted anything by mistake, or if you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via Ravelry (ApricotLove) or Tumblr (apricotandalligator). I don't own Wrestling Revolution or Bully Demise, nor do I claim to. Bully Demise is just a silly project I did for my own entertainment, and I made up a pattern in case someone else wanted to take a shot at making one too. Please note that this pattern is slightly different from the original prototype (the chest is bulkier than the original) so your end result may vary in looks - but itll still be Bully Demise! This pattern is free to any and all and should not be sold for any reason. All I ask is that you send me photos of your new friends once you've made them! @ Have fun with it!
