Crochet Pony Plush - Nettle
« on: May 11, 2024, 03:01:55 PM »
Here I am!! If you have kept up to date in the "What are you working on?" thread you'd have seen my updates on her. And she is finally done! This project has been very long and tedious, but I am so happy with how she turned out! I can't wait to show everyone!
I hope you like her as much as I!  :newpony:

She is adorable! I love her eyes and her hair is perfect. Did you make the pattern too?

Apologies.  :redface:

Thank you! For the eyes, I sketched Rainbow Dash's eye shape and made different sizes to see which one I liked. I did not make the pattern, I got it from here.

Oh wow she is gorgeous!!! I love her so much!!!
Yep there's a good few patterns for G4 Ponies, & PKW has one for Takaras, but I never found any for G1s, hence making my own. Mine took a week of painstaking trial, error, frogging & redoing, measuring, & other bits to get done, & the second one took the same time, but only because 1/ she needed wings which I had to add, & 2/ her hair was tinsel yarn, very sparkly but working with it was a pain.
But I'm happy with the results.
And as a fellow crocheter, I congratulate you on your hard work, which is what making this looks like it was, even with the pattern to guide you!!!
One other thing: your eyes look amazing!!! Did you embroider them??? They look embroidered, & that in itself is a time-consuming process. I'm not a safety eye fan, but boy does the embroidery take time to do!!! It does result in a safer, more secure eye though. Same with symbols where needed.
My Mascots (so far): Twisty Tail, G2 Trixiebelle, Starcatcher, Twilight Sparkle. All variants & pictures of these are appreciated. Piccies courtesy of Griffin, Blumiere, Littlebabyribbon, & Starscout

I did embroider the eyes! I layered the different color blocks for the whites and pupils, then I went around to make the iris with blue. After I finished both of those I used more embroidery thread to create the eyelash shapes. It was very time consuming, but I think it looks great!
It did take a lot of work and recounting stitches... I want to try to make my own patterns soon, but I'm not as confident in that.
