How to Crochet a Sweater for a Stuffed Animal

[@apatheticsprite]

ROUND THREE INSTRUCTIONS:: (because i had way too much trouble with this) ch 3, DC 6, 3DC cluster, DC 6, 3DC cluster, DC 13, 3DC cluster, DC 6, 3DC cluster. PATTERN IS 6, 6, 13, 6 NOT 6, 13, 66

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Thanks for catching that, I just realized my voice over was wrong and I wrote the pattern based on that 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll correct that in the pattern part!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

It should be 6, 6, 13, 6, 6

[@tayloring.1790]

I think 6, 6, 13, 6 does work better. I'm still testing it out, but I've been having a problem with the back of my sweater being WAY too big, as if I had added extra stitches each round, and I think it's because I thought I had to do 3DC into that last (5th) safety pin every round (as in 6, 6, 13, 6, 6). It looks like it's turning out better when I just have the 4 safety pins, like in the video, and therefore only do 4 3DCs. Just thought I'd leave this comment here in case anyone else is having this problem!

Wow I'm so happy you made it! I'm glad my tutorial was clear enough for new crocheters :)

[@anonima7748]

​@@LixiePigCrafts It was my first time crocheting something as well! I made many many mistakes also because I'm not a native speaker so I didn't listen carefully to the instructions and also because of laziness of not wanting to rewatch some tricky parts multiple times but it was fun! I might have understood why I've made some errors but I guess it's something that takes time to learn as I have to practice crocheting more often, thank you for the video😄

[@scootermom1791]

I find it incredible that you are a beginner yet were able to not only crochet this sweater but also were able to adapt an actual adult pattern to work with the bear. That's amazing! 😎 I modified your pattern to create matching Christmas sweaters for 2 stuffed animal mooses for my daughter's roommate. I customized them by adding red, embroidered snowflakes in the middle of them. I'm glad you posted this tutorial because I had no idea how to do this. I'm used to making hats, headbands, and scarves. Lol

[@phoebe5363]

this is my favorite sweater video! i made two sweaters for me and my friend's matching bears, and now im making a sweater for a frog! thank you!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

[@Fizzlesmirk]

This is an amazing tutorial! Successfully made a sweater for my childhood stuffed animal. I’m bad with instructions so I had to go a bit rogue and feel it out for myself at points, but using this as a guideline was essential since this is my first ever crochet project. Thanks for the video!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Wow I’m so glad you tried it and it worked out! I made some mistakes in the video so I’m glad you were able to figure it out 😅

[@algoldinable]

I am a beginner at crocheting as well and just made this using your tutorial. The stuffy I was making the sweater for was probably a third of the size of a build a bear so I just reduced the stitch count but tried to be sure it would still work out evenly at the end for the increases. Excellent job explaining everything!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I’m so glad you found it helpful as a beginner! ☺️

[@phoebe5363]

I'm making one for a much smaller stuffed animal and I ended up picking a thinner/light weight yarn with a smaller hook and that worked well!

[@tayloring.1790]

thanks for the fantastic tutorial!! :) love my sweater for my build a bear spring frog!! (if anyone else wants to make a sweater for a frog but is having trouble since the head is bigger than other build a bears', try adding 2 chains to that initial round - - so 44 chains total! after quite a bit of trial and error, that number worked for me.)

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I’m so happy it worked for you 😄 thanks so much for the tips on build a bear frogs! I don’t have one but know they’re super popular!

[@miselaineous]

I made this! I love this tutorial and found it really easy to follow. I'll probably use it again :)

[@miselaineous]

upon making a second sweater, I found that it came out so much better by doing 3 successive double crochet together stitches under the sleeves for 2 rows, only chaining 2 instead of 3 at the beginning of each double crochet row, and adding a single crochet row at the bottom of the sweater. it fits my Build-A-Bear perfectly, whereas the first one ended up being way too wide. (I also used a chunkier yarn the first time)

[@sam-tu6kb]

thank you so much! i had to asjust it a little bit because i think my yarn is a bit more chunky than yours but this was very easy to follow along with i love it :D

[@aurelioisrad3508]

Ik this is years old but I just made one for my childhood stuffed animal and it’s so cute 😭 I ended up adding some ribbing to the bottom and slip stitched around the collar (bc my collar was really wonky lol), but even without the extra touches, this is such a good pattern and tutorial! Builds up quickly too.

[@yahairacortes-martinez3613]

Ok, so I made this sweater originally almost a year ago and it turned out perfect, but now I'm making another one and in the third row I have a single stitch leftover? If the initial 42 chains is correct and I'm still supposed to have 42 stitches in the third row, then why do I still have one leftover? Am I doing my math wrong here 😭 idk if only did 41 the last time in order to get the third row to make sense or not, please help.

I don't have any stuffed animal I would like to make for a.chilx of an adult how do I determine how many chains to begin with and how do I determine how many chains to leave after I do the double crochet cluster does it always have to b thirtden

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I actually adapted this from a full sized sweater so here’s the original tutorial! I also linked her video in the description forthefrills.com/crochet-brooklyn-chunky-cropped-sweater-free-pattern/

[@mythoslime6904]

Hi I got lost around 6:25 . In the beginning of the round we dc 6 then do 3dc in one st and then after that do the 1dc in each st for 13st? I don’t quiet understand how that’s right bc when I did that my stitch markers did not look rectangle shaped

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hi -- sorry about that, I made a mistake in the voice-over of the video. Check the description for a note on that and you can also follow the pattern there for the correct instructions. Let me know if you are still confused!

[@colinernest8430]

how do i make sure im slip stiching in the right stitch cuz mines a mess

[@russiasgreatestexports4026]

Thank you so much for this!! This was exactly what I was looking to make :))

[@TheDollydiaz]

how does one modify is you use a size/weight 4 yarn?? help 😅

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Since your yarn is thinner you'll probably just have to do more stitches for the starting chain and an extra round or two for the body and sleeves. You should be able to tell by trying it on your stuffed animal -- does that help?

[@apatheticsprite]

my safety-pins dont make a rectangle amd the sides arent equal! does this matter for the end result?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

If they’re a little uneven it should still be ok! If the opposite sides are really uneven you may have put the 3 double crochets in the wrong spots

[@LaughOutRandom]

@@LixiePigCraftsthis confused me too - the tutorial says to crochet 6 then increase, 13 then an increase, 6 then an increase and 6 then an increase and just complete with double crochets. It didn't make a rectangle. Is it not 6 then 13 then 6 then 13?

So can i use this same pattern and same stiches for a bigger sweater it is .. thats ooo easy to make person size sweter lol

[@PipimiOden]

Hey, small question, what if the stitch markers end up forming a bit more like an obtuse trapezoid than a rectangle at the end of round 3? Do i redo the round? For reference I had to do about 62 chains for the first step

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hmmm I think I get what you mean -- with how it is currently the front will end up a different width as the back so it may not fit properly. I'd redo the round and space the 3 double crochets/where the stitch markers will go differently so it forms more of a square or rectangle shape!

Hmmm you mean increasing the chain stitch by 2? That shouldn’t make too much of a difference so I’d say just do the same thing as me and if there’s extra stitches at the end of the round just continue doing the ones you were doing to finish the round

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hmm that’s weird, it’s really great that you’re still trying though! Don’t be too hard on yourself this is a pretty hard pattern and my tutorial could be better 😅 if it’s not too noticeable I’d just let the sweater be imperfect 🙃

[@emilyobrien8786]

I tried making this with thicker yarn which was kinda a mistake...I am making this for a build a bear frog and I needed about 25 chains instead of 44 and it still ended up being big on her. I ended up doing like 2 or 3 less rows than in the video and it's still so long, I'm on the step with the sleeves and the work is too long for me to crochet arm holes. I may end up just sewing it up and calling it done because it's too long, sleeves are long for me to do the last several steps

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I think get what you mean 😕 yeah the yarn can make a big difference. Your idea of sewing it tighter should work though!

do you think it would work if instead of doing 42 chains, i do 36? as far as I've seen, this tutorial kinda works with multiples of six?

[@softiekittieamelly174]

or maybe with 35? i really wanna make it smaller but idk how D:

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Hmmm I haven’t done the math but as long as you follow a similar spacing of the increases as I did it should be ok. Being off by a stitch or two shouldn’t make a difference - it’s all about how wide you want the sleeves to be. Hope this helps! Idk if that made sense at all 😅

[@verabutirskaya2294]

what is the flipping of the project after every row for? why not just go around in a circle?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

One side of the stitch looks different from the other so by flipping it you’re alternating how the stitch looks and kind of making stripes. You don’t have to flip it but the final sweater would look slightly different 😊

Hi! I absolutely love this!! I really want to try making it. But my stuffed bunny is much much smaller than your bear. And I’m very much beginner. I don’t know any of the terms you are using. I only know how to crochet a square. I really want to try this!! Any idea how to adapt it? I think I can definitely do it if I know how many stitches I need in between the safety pins :)

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I’m pretty sure in the video I say how to adapt it but I don’t give any specific stitch counts - it’s all based on comparing it to your stuffed animal. If you still need help I might be able to give you a general idea of the stitch counts if you want to tell me your bunny’s measurements 😊 I’m not the best at showing how to do each stitch so any term I use you could just search on KZbin for a more in depth description!

[@ae_therx]

hihi , how do you visualise / plan how to like scale your crochet project bigger or smaller ? 0w0

[@LixiePigCrafts]

With this one specifically, it’s all about how long that initial chain is. Then you can adjust how many rounds to do to make it bigger or smaller. I don’t crochet many things though so I’m not an expert and don’t really know how I would do it for other projects 😆

[@sashawajchman884]

How much yarn did you use??

[@kristen_byrne]

I wish this was a lot easier to understand for a real beginner, this is more like advanced beginner or intermediate. I would have loved to make this for my stuffed animals but I got lost right at the beginning of row two, (front post double crochet) because I don’t understand what you mean by inserting in the front or bank. If you could please clarify what that means maybe I’ll get it one day!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I get what you mean - I go pretty fast and the pattern has some advanced stitches. I linked the original video I learned the stitch from in the description box (the for the frills video tutorial) and here’s another video I found on the front/back post double crochet: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWWVkGdua62le7c.

The pattern should be correct but if you’re running out of room maybe your initial chain was too short or you can try making each section shorter to fit them all.

hi!! how many sticthes are after the first 42 single crochets? i counted mine and the front and back double crochet stitches are 25 and it seems smaller. what do I do?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Since those front and back post double crochets go into each stitch there should be a total of 42 stitches still. Maybe you skipped over some stitches when doing the double crochets? In that case you'll probably want to pull that round out and start the round over making sure to not skip any stitches when doing the front/back post double crochets. Hope this helps!

[@VampwolfWarrior]

Hi! I don't know if you are still working on this sweater, but I figured I'd reply just in case you or anyone else needed help because I had the exact same problem as you. When you go into the stitches you into the one and then the second, but on the next post stitch you go back into the second stitch of the last post stitch and then the next available stitch. So if stitches A and B make up the front post double crochet, then stitches B and C would make up the back post double crochet, C and D would make the front post double crochet, D and E for the back post double crochet, and so on until the end. I had 41 stitches at the end. So I just did one last back post double crochet in the post around the chain of 3 from the beginning to make up the 42nd. I hope this helps!

I know but I really want to make it and it's my pleasure I just do what I love which is making kind comments😊😊💕💕💕

[@Slipnut666]

Do you know about how long it took for you to crochet this? I wanna start it but it would be helpful to know how long the project would take

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I definitely finished it in one day - it took maybe 4-5 hours

[@wolverinePierce13]

do you think it’s possible to convert this pattern into a cardigan?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I can't give too many details but I think it can! If you don't join the chain into a circle that would leave the front (technically the back) open and from there I think you could just continue the pattern like that

[@nikoxykittehs]

Very useful video!

[@unallamaa]

Btw, I don’t want to be rude but please watch a tutorial on how to hold your hook! I used to hold my hook like that all the time and it causes sooo much unnecessary pain!!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

ok thanks i had no idea! I feel when I first started I just picked it up and never knew there was a specific way to hold it 😅

[@ello_mate8330]

Thanks so much for the great tutorial!

[@warrendelacerna3868]

I made my Own Outfit By myself And It Was Not Bad I Made It with a Mask And It Was My First Time And it's Pretty Cute I Did my Best

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Nice! The fact that you tried it is amazing 🤩

[@dees2cool]

Omg it’s a sign I’m making the sweater for my teddy which is the same bunny

[@TheBreakfastRats]

OMG TYSM! I’m tryna learn to crochet, also well don’t on 8k!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Thank you so much for all the encouragement ☺️

[@TheBreakfastRats]

@@LixiePigCrafts Ofc! You make such good vids!

[@lovedworm]

omg that’s the exact stuffed animal i wanted to crochet for😭😭

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Wow 🤩 yeah a lot of people seem to have this bunny!

[@mahima3954]

I swear it looks really difficult but its really not until you get it...obv need to have patience and few practice...thank youuu

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Glad you got it! I know it’s kinda complicated and I go pretty fast but hopefully it is clear enough ❤️

[@royalfriends3678]

So good 2000/10 pls can u show and make a picnic stuff and if your able to, a table that would mean so much to me

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Oohh that’s a cool idea!

[@d.awneryy]

This is SOO confusing I wish you also mentioned we need safety pins wasted like 30 mins trying to do this till you got to the safety pin part…

[@clarasaperes9534]

you can use literally anything as a safety pin. For example a hairpin

[@sam-tu6kb]

i think it's a good idea to watch the whole tutorial before starting, it helps me not get lost :)

[@kylietrochesset4419]

I like to use paper clips or even a piece of string works!

[@phoebe5363]

I use clip earrings! It was really easy to stop my stitching and grab some from my box. I agree that watching the video through once before you start is a great way to prepare for a project :- )

[@googotygame]

That rabbit looks like mine except mine's inner ear is brown

[@ShettikkaWoods-jl8iq]

Awesome 👍🏾 thank you ❤

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Glad it helped! 🥰

[@emilypliler967]

For round 3 the pattern you put in the description and what you say in the video are not the same, in the video you mixed up the pattern

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I’ll make sure to check on that but I would trust what I say in the video to be the correct version 😊

[@annoir]

@@LixiePigCrafts Emily Pliler is correct. The instructions that you wrote in your description do not match your video instructions. And it's really weird because what you show in the video at the end of round 3 is correct and matches the written instructions, but how you demonstrate round 3 on video is wrong. I took your advice and followed the video. Good thing I compared what I had done to what you had completed for round 3 on the video. Mine was wrong and no matter how I folded it, it would have never had the right structure. I appreciate you sharing your pattern, it's great, but I think you need to let people know about the discrepancy.

[@LixiePigCrafts]

@@annoir thanks for pointing this out! I just edited the pattern to match what I say in the video which is correct

[@annoir]

@@LixiePigCrafts Perfect! I finished the sweater for my niece's teddy bear and it's super duper cute, easy and fast to crochet, I did it in about 3 - 4 hours. Thanks so much for correcting the video and sharing!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I’m so glad it worked for you! 😁

[@fusionhelpzone-learningtre3962]

Thank you so much for accepting my request

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Of course! Great suggestion!

[@yolo_ct17]

I was peacefully crocheting and I got up to get something and when I came back I couldn't find my crochet needle. I STILL CANT FIND IT AND IM SUFFERING-

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Oh noo!! I feel like that happens to me sometimes 😅 hope you find it soon!

[@GiftOfDaGab_91]

Can you show us how to make mini hoodie sweaters or t-shirt for 20cm/8inch stuffed animals please I've commented this on ya other video but I've had no reply Thanks 👍🏾😊

[@LixiePigCrafts]

I actually have a video on how to make shirt patterns for any size stuffed animal: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn-oaoBqjpWsbqM Then you can follow the same steps to make the shirt from the video!

[@angkrystal5826]

@@LixiePigCrafts does ur pattern work for crochet too other than fabric?

[@LixiePigCrafts]

@@angkrystal5826 no this is only to cut out of fabric, you'll have to use a crochet t-shirt pattern :)

[@isxbeljxnkins]

would this fit a frog from Build A Bear? :)

[@LixiePigCrafts]

Yes! The frogs are a little bigger than my Build A Bears though so you might want to make it a little longer 😊

[@starj636]

i made this and couldn’t get it over my build a bear frogs giant head hahahaha. but i modified the neck part a little to make it bigger and it worked out!

[@LixiePigCrafts]

@@starj636 aww yay!!! I forgot about the frog heads being a lot bigger lol

[@needjee8549]

garfields neck is not that long, oops
