Woohoo

I went to the Rockstar Uproar Tour in Tampa on Sunday. It was awesome. Avenged Sevenfold and Halestorm were amazing. The best part of my day was meeting Nasty of Falling In Reverse. I was so excited and he was so nice. :)

Shadow Heartless Pattern

I'm an avid crocheter and a gamer. I'm always looking for easy to read, adorable patterns of my favorite video game characters. Most of the time I either can't find them or I have to pay for them. So I resorted to creating my own. I often make dolls on commission or for my friends.

This little guy is a shadow heartless from the Kingdom Hearts games. He's very easy to make and sits at over a foot tall. I worked pipe cleaners into his arms and feelers for movement and I made him in navy blue instead of black so he wouldn't look too flat. I posted the pattern on my deviantart and was told that he was easy to make and was the most accurate doll many had seen. So I now I give you the pattern.

What you'll need:
Navy Blue or Black yarn
Gold yarn
Pipe cleaners (optional)
G hook (I used a G-6 or 4mm hook)
