Witch Pou, Micro green Pou and Orange Pou with a wig

By Teresa Alvarez (September 2013)

About copyright: It's really something great when people like what I have designed. You can sell the final item or whatever you like, but it would be nice to reference where you found the pattern! If there is anything you do not understand or there are any mistakes, please, send me a message! As you can see in the way I write, English is not my first language. So, you could come across some mistakes and grammatical inconsistencies@. Sorry and my apologies! My children like Pou. It's a very funny game you can play on your phone or tablet. They are delighted with this little friends! This pattern is the third one in my personal saga of Pous @. As Halloween is not far away, these Pous can be crocheted in time for the occasion!

ABOUT YARN:

Any yarn would do nicely. I've used a yarn from Pierrot: Pierrot Yarns Zakka Acrylic Namibuto. The yardage is 25 gr. = 70 meters.

ABOUT GAUGE:

It is not important, as far as you are consistent with your tension.

ABOUT HOOK:

It depends on the yarn. I've used a 3.75 mm hook. Remember that when making amigurumis, stitches should be tight.

YOU WILL NEED:

· Orange Pou is crocheted using the basic pattern for a Pou. So the total yardage is one skein for the body and some black for the wig. The green Pou is very small, just a bit of green and two frog eyes! The witch Pou needs two colors: lilac and black. Embellishments in white. Some white and black scraps for the eyes and mouth. ?Two pairs of black eyes and one pair of frog eyes Stuffing. Tapestry needle. ABOUTCROCHETTERMS: I've followed the US terminology. Stitch: st Chain: ch Slip stitch: sl st Single crochet: sC Half double crochet: hdc Double crochet: dc FLO: Front Loop Only BLO: Back Loop Only Sc2tog: decreasing two sc (i.e., 2 st become 1) Sc3tog: decreasing 3 sc (i.e. 3 stitches become 1) Bobble: yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, [yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw it through the first 2 loops on your hook] repeat 5 times, yarn over and draw hook through all the remaining loops. NOTE: I've made all the decreases as invisible decreases ABOUT THE PATTERN: All the pattern is worked in spirals, so do not join at the end/beginning of a row.
