CROCHET BEAR 420 I DON'T CARE WEED POT LEAF STONER BEAR

[@AmberVereide-de9iv]

I love it how would you put a jar in it with a twist head?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

If you use a tall narrow jar, or jar with a lid that fits the diameter of 24sc at row 24. Depending on how you want to glue the head to the lid, you may want to add and extra row or two of 24. Then for the body, chain 24 and join to make a circle. Then you’ll probably want to a row or two of 24 before adding the arms for row 25. Then closer to the bottom when you start closing, insert the jar, stuff around it and Finnish closing the bottom. I’d suggest a narrow jar, cause the longer you can go before adding it the easier it will be at the end. 😊 hope that helps! I think I’ll pin this cause it’s already a popular question. Thanks for asking!! ❤️😊😍

[@AmberVereide-de9iv]

Thanks I'll try to make it and see how it comes out with your directions, he's super cute. Do you think you can possibly try to make one with a lid to see how it's done?

[@carascrazylife]

I've seen someone make the head and arms part then the body as the separate piece. I've got orders for these and trying to piece together the pattern and get through 4hours lol. I appreciate the video being made for sure.

[@TaraPyles]

To make this with the jar, I ended it at row 24 with 24 stitches, tied it off. Started with a chain of 30 cause a chain of 24 didn't fit around the jar. Then did 3sc, 1dec, to have 24 stitches, added the arms, then went on... Good luck!

​@@TaraPylesthank you

Beautiful.. And look at that, it took you 4 hrs and 20 minutes 😂

Love love your teaching techniques. You explain how to do the pattern so well but mostly I am so happy I finally found someone to help me make a magic circle. Your technique is not complicated. Hooray 😃

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Aww 🥰 thanks, I’m glad you enjoy them. Sometimes I forget how unusual my starting loop is, and I don’t explain it, so I’m so glad to hear you like doing it this way too!!! I’ve done it that way for 35 years and I think it’s because I don’t trust things staying together if I don’t knot the heck outta them lol. ❤️😊❤️

[@melissalitton7100]

Thank you so much for ur video's, I learned to crochet watching KZbin videos. Ur videos are in my opinion the very best there are several good tutorials but I think your's are by far the best. I also love that you put the written instructions also thanks to that its getting alot easier for me to b able to read the crochet language. Thank you so much and god bless you ❤

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww, You are so welcome! 🥰 I’m glad you are enjoying them so much, and learning a few things along the way. That is always so cool to hear! Thank you for saying that, and I hope you are having an awesome day! ❤️😊❤️

[@Mountainmomma420]

This is the one I came for. I’ve never crocheted but I’m going to learn!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

If you can learn to chain, single crochet, and how to increase and decrease you should be able to follow along. I’d start with the white circle for the tummy first so you can get a feel for crocheting in the rounds. It’s closer to the end. Good luck if you try it as your first one👍🥰

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww 🥰 thanks. I’ve definitely thought about it. My husband wants me to make a tractor. But I have a hard time with square shapes and not having to make them double sided with something inside to keep the shape. I bought plastic canvas to do that with a barn two years ago and still haven’t figured out how I’d video it, lol. Maybe in the future but for now it’s kinda outta my skill range. 😊

[@amandagratrix9724]

Hi Rhonda could this be made in dk 8 ply yarn with a smaller hook ?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I’m not familiar with that yarn, is it a #2? You should be able to make it with any size yarn, as long as you get the hook right. Generally I find if you go down a whole number from recommended it works. So if it asks for 5.5 use 4.5 or smaller 6.5 use 5.5 or smaller Etc. if your used to the 8ply dk for amigurumi, use whatever hook you’ve been using. 👍😊❤️

[@amandagratrix9724]

@rhondadawnbutler hi Rhonda thank you for your reply depending on where you live dk is what is classed as a light worsted weight yarn. Or if your in America or Australia I think it's 8 ply yarn.

I am so excited to start this one for a friend! Thank you for the video! I have seen several others of yours and truly love how detailed you are! Only thing is, as a 30+ year seamstress/crafter, 3 year crocheter, I am absolutely ashamed of myself that I didn't think of using a crochet item as a pin/needle cushion before watching your video! lol Many lost needles later, and I find your videos! So.... thank you for that also! duh! 🤣

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Lol, I’m happy to hear you are enjoying them all! In all fairness I’ve crocheted off and on for about the same amount of time, and that guy sat beside me for quite a long time before I thought about using him as a pin cushion. It definitely helps to keep from losing something you just had in your hand! 👍 🥰

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww thanx! Glad you liked it!! 🥰

[@ellieportillosandoval8694]

Do you have any video for beginners? Like what exactly type or yarn do I need or how to I start? 😭

[@rhondadawnbutler]

If you’ve never crocheted before, I don’t have any videos for learning how. To do my videos, you will need to know how to chain. Make a magic ring or starting loop. Single crochet and how to increase and decrease. Everything else that comes up I will show step by step. I almost always use a #4 medium yarn, red heart or Bernat brand. And most of the time I use a G/6 4.25 mm hook. If you can’t find it, go smaller instead of larger. Hope that helps 👍😊❤️

😅 Got down to row 45 and realized that my thumbs were pointed the wrong way! Oh well, guess I not only have a pothead bear, but one with an attitude too cause he's staying that way.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww, I’ve done it too. When I made my Santa clause. And that’s after adding a million arms, and saying make sure the thumbs are facing the front even more times. Lol. If you haven’t added the eyes or legs yet, you could probably just make him backwards, you just have to have a different stitch count on the leg row so they are centered on the back instead of the front. 😊

[@pamelaferguson7766]

@@rhondadawnbutler i had already added all the parts. I'm making it for my granddaughter, and I'm sure she won't know the difference😄. This is my first time doing anything like this. I'm 68 and retired so I've got all the time the good Lord gives me to finish it. And thank goodness because my arthritis is making it more difficult. Even so, I've only been crocheting for about 3 months and this is my venture from hdc squares. I'm really enjoying it, and thanks to people such as yourself who share their talents, I can continue to enjoy it. Thank you so much!

​@@rhondadawnbutler I don't want to monopolize your time, but I hope you don't mind me getting this out there. I'm low level manic depressant, and I started crocheting to see if this helps. And it did so much. The granddaughter I'm making this bear for is also manic depressant. She has been diagnosed as the highest kind and ends up in the hospital at least once or twice a year. I am so proud of her. She's managed to finish 4 years of college and now holds a full time job. And I hope this gifted bear spurs on on to start crocheting. I think it will help her as much as it helps me. I would also like to give a shout out to law enforcement, and medical personnel who recognize this illness and work quickly to get the afflicted help when needed. Without them, I would have lost this precious person in my life at least 3 different times

[@samanthathomas2918]

Hi I'm following your pattern I'm on the first arm, but I see when you do the 84 stitches the arms starts to get thinner, mine is getting wider, any idea what I'm doing wrong?? I've tried 6 times now I'm doing everything the same but it keeps happening please help 😫

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hmm I’m not sure. It’s hard to tell what your asking, cause in general the arm does get small from the hand with the decreases. But when I watch the repeat rows on the video, they don’t seem to get smaller to me. Are you doing the last row of decreases at the end of the arm? Or is it when you are stuffing the arm? Closing the arm also makes it look smaller. If you could send me a picture and what row Your ending on, I might be able to help better.

Sorry no, I’ve looked into it, but I still can’t figure out how to set up a website, or join one unless I have some kind of PayPal account or something similar. Maybe in the future, but for now I can only add the pattern to the top of the video. 😊

[@dottiehumpherys7580]

To do the decrease, do you just skip a stitch? I dont understand

[@rhondadawnbutler]

You insert your hook in the next stitch, grab your yarn and pull up. Then insert it again in the stitch after that , grab your yarn and pull up. That should give you three loops on your hook. Then you’ll grab your yarn and pull through those three loops. (Does that help? I’m better at showing than explaining) 😊

[@kevinorr6880]

I am puzzled as I continually seem to lose a stitch as I do each round. I cannot figure out why I come up and end up putting the final stitch into the beginning stitch in order to come up correctly?? Like losing a sick in the drier! Where does it go?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Hmmm you’ve got me stumped on that one. Is it possible your starting in the second stitch instead of the first, that’s the only thing I can think of since occasionally I find I’ve done the same thing and my yarn stich marker was hiding it. But I can’t see that happening for every row. If you can’t figure it out, try adding an stitch anywhere but your last increase so you don’t get a bump.

[@kevinorr6880]

Thank you for the reply. Yup, it is pretty consistent. I am brand new to crochet and I have been trying to do plushies for my grandkid, so the stitches are hard for me to see with all that fuzzy. @@rhondadawnbutler

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@kevinorr6880 oh if your using fuzzy yarn, I can definitely relate to maybe missing a stitch, with the plush yarn I always have to redo the second row more than a couple times cause I never find the first starting stitch. That could be the problem to. I’m usually one stitch off in the second row, once it’s fixed everything else works out. How’d you end up making out?

Was it a typo in 38:57, Bc on round 17 we do 2 sc and then a dec for 12 total stitches then we have 10 sc in row 18?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Is that for the leg? I did ten stitches instead of 12 on the last row so when it’s closed the top of the foot faces up. You want to end up on the side of the leg. So you’ll want to do how ever many stitches get you there, for me it was 10. Hope that helps 😊

[@sallyallison3907]

​@rhondadawnbutler yes the leg, your caption for row 17 total you have it ending with 12 stitches, but then you start your caption for row 18 ending in 10 with no decreases, just 10 sc. I think that's where the confusion lies. I found the same thing, but understand what needs to be done. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I'm loving this bear❤

[@sallyallison3907]

I get it now, you only sc in 10 of the 12 stitches lol

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@sallyallison3907 yes, I’ll try and remember for next time to explain it better. But yes, you basically don’t Finnish the last row ending at 10 instead of doing all 12. So they are facing the right direction when we crochet them in 😊

[@Phoebe-wv1uf]

Hi! I love your videos, they are amazing! If I am using a jar, how do I start the body?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Instead of going right into the arm row, you’ll want to do a chain of 24 and join it into a circle. At least one row of 24. Then continue with the arms and the rest of the body, and depending On the size of your jar, I’d add it somewhere between adding the legs and closing. 😊

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Mine is about 9.5 inches sitting, and about 12.5 inches standing. That could vary a bit depending on your yarn and hook size. 😊

After you do Row 30 - 6 SC, 1 Increase all the way around. (total of 48) Then do eyes according to video.

hi i wanna make this so bad my man says no more yarn till i use most of what i have lmao so i have only worster yarn can i make this adorable bear with the yarn i have or do i have to have the yarn u uesd?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I’m pretty sure what I use is considered worsted weight yarn. You can pretty much use any yarn, you just want to go a couple of sizes smaller than the recommended hook size. And it can be any color. I just saw one done in orange which I would of never thought of using and it was beautiful. 🥰

[@audradonthaveone6708]

Question Does yarn under make a tighter stich? I am a yarn over crocheter, but i notice you do yarn under . Or am I mistaken?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Yarn under makes a tighter and neater looking stitch. I kinda grab and twist, but the yarn technically goes over not under my way. It’s hard to tell but I’ve tried yarn under and my brain doesn’t want my hands to work that way, lol. If you can do it though the resulting stitches are really beautiful. More of an x than a v.

[@pamelaferguson7766]

I've recently started crocheting these critters ( can't spell amagurami without looking it up) and I find that yuyo works best for me. It's easier on these old hands and I don't have to struggle as much as I would doing yuyu or yoyu. I always struggle with pulling that last loop through on yu. It also has me making the tightest stitch. Hope this helps.

[@Ademarcus]

I hate to second guess you, but are you sure that the eyes are 18mm and not 20mm? I ordered the 18 and they definitely look smaller compared to your hands in the video. In the how to video you state that you are using 20mm clear eyes when painting them. Thanks for any clarification. 🙂

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Lol, you had me second guessing too. I just measured them. They are 18mm. I think I thought they were 20 mm when I videoed the eye painting part. But I didn’t double check. And no worries, I do tend to make the odd mistakes that I don’t catch in editing, so I’m always happy to hear if I need to pin a correction in the comments. ❤️😊❤️

Where did you purchase the eyes? I used 18mm as suggested but these seem much wider and flatter than what I have. Yours are so perfect!

[@rhondadawnbutler]

These eyes are off Amazon. They have the three pieces, eye, sparkle washer, and back. (Search 18mm clear safety eyes) I believe it’s the 300 pc for around $20.00 but every time I go to my shopping list to reorder them they seem to change. (Right now the description says they are 16mm) I try and look at photo reviews to see if they are the right ones.

I've searched twice for the eyes with the backing you can paint ( Like you used here) Can you please tell where you can get them? All I find is ones with glitter already on the 3 piece sets. Or 2 PC. sets

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I get my eyes off Amazon. Try searching for 18mm clear safety eyes, or 18mm glitter safety eyes. The ones I get come with the glitter discs. So there is the clear eye, glitter disk, and back. If you click on one, scroll through the photos and it should show the three different pieces. And then I just don’t use the glitter disk. Let me know if that helps, if not I’ll go find a link for you if you use Amazon 👍😊❤️

I've finished my third bear. Yea, so fun with this excellent tutorial! Now I'm starting on my fourth, but the request os for a "gloom emo plushy bear". So I'm going to attempi it with a double strand of lighter #4 weight black chenille yarn (it's all i have). Do you think i could manage this with a 6mm hook?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

You should be able to. I haven’t tried double strand yet, but I’ve seen my dragon done that way and it looked awesome. As long as you can grab both stands comfortably it should work out for you with that yarn/hook combo. I bet it turns out gorgeous! ❤️😊❤️

@@rhondadawnbutler am at the body. Worked great, looks great. A lot bigger than the other 3 and have to get more yarn to finish the body🙂. I'm still not certain what color to use for the secondary color, afraid that using white would make it look too much like a panda. Any suggestions? The yarn is black with tiny silver sparkles, so it really doesn't look very emo gloomy. I would go with silver, but not available in the sparkly. I'm thinking a blue moon in the front would look awesome, but that secondary color has me stumped.

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@pamelaferguson7766 I personally like the look of bright neon/fluorescent Color’s with black, but I’m thinking that wouldn’t be very gloomy either. You could go with grey if you can’t find silver. Or if you do a blue moon, blue as the secondary color might look cool too. I’m bad at picking Color’s . I still haven’t started my dog or cat cause all I can think is grey cat/brown dog. And I’ve done soo many of those Color’s lately, lol

[@pamelaferguson7766]

@@rhondadawnbutler no, I'm afraid neon would not be what she wants. I might go and physically look at thread soon to see if anything "jumps out to me". Try an orange tabby cat or a blue heeler dog. I have a big golden retriever and he is orange/red and cream color. His name is Bowie. For Christmas lat year, one of the grandkids picked up a huge, lifelike size, stuffed golden. He looks exactly like Bowie. The babies named him David.
