Marvin the Martian Amigurumi Pattern
Materials Required:
This pattern came about when one of my friend's co-workers requested Marvin the Martian. I was a little apprehensive about making him because Marvin is an iconic figure. I just hope that I've done him justice. Unless otherwise stated, work in continuous rounds. Also, I assume that you have basic knowledge in crochet. If not there are many tutorials on YouTube.

Assembly:
1）Attach the head to the body with the tail from the body. I just weaved in and out of each piece with the tail. Ensure the neck is in the bottom centre of the head. Firmly stuff the neck before completely sewing openings close to ensure it can support the weight of the head.
3)Using white and black felt create the eyes. I cut out a white oval for the whites of the eyes, and smaller black ovals for the pupil. 4) Position the eyes are appears on the photo above. It should sit right in the middle of the head. You may want to put the helmet onto the head to get the most accurate placement. Sew the eyes to the head. 5) Attach the arms to the body with the tails from each piece. I used a whip stitch again. Pin all the limbs in the desired position before attaching. Ensure the decorative lines on the gloves are facing away from body. Add extra stuffing to the arms while attaching to create the shoulder pieces.
6) Attach the thumb to the hand. Ensure the thumbs are pointing forward in comparison to the body and slightly lower than all the other fingers.

7) Attach the 6 pleats of the kilt to the waist. The pleats may need some blocking to keep them from curling. There are 30 stitches around the waist and each pleat has 5 stitches at the top so position them evenly around. Ensure the right side is facing out. Use a simple whip stitch again to attach.
8) To assemble the helmet bristles, first attach the bristle base to the bristle connector. Ensure to stuff the connector firmly to add support. Next, cut several 2 inch pieces of yarn. Fold your yarn in half. Grasp your hook, insert it under the stitch you want the yarn to attach to and up through the other side, hook your yarn where it's folded in half and pull it through just enough that you have a small loop. Keeping the loop on your hook grab the two strings left on the other side of the stitch and pull them through the loop. Pull the strings tight. Sew this entire piece to the top of the helmet. You may want to position everything on Marvin's head before sewing it together. 9) To assemble the Ray Gun, sew the handle to the base. Ensure to off centre the handle on the base to make it look like a gun. This will help to designate the "back" and "front" of the gun. Sew the shaft
front side of the body furthest away from the handle.

Sew the target 3 rows back from the end of the shaft. It will be tricky to get the target to stand up. I ended up sewing through 4 stitches to hold it in place. I used a whip stitch to sew all the parts together. I then attached a loop of yarn on the handle so I could slip the ray gun over Marvin's hand. This will hold it in place. Notes: I didn't sew the helmet onto Marvin's head. The tension should hold it in place. If it is not secure enough, attach the helmet to the head. Also remember to weave in all lose tails to finish up the project. Now it's complete! And just in case for legal reasons.... Marvin the Martian is a copyright of Warner Brothers.
