Now we work the smile. Oh, the beautiful smile of this Cheshire cat
0:08
So you chain 12. Okay, so let's work here together, the 12 chains
0:15
Oh my God, we're almost done. This is great. Okay. Super good
0:30
chain your 12 so you will skip two chains from the needle and you will work with three half double
0:38
crochet here so this is the pattern is written here on the screen but it will vanish and you can
0:45
also get the written pattern but let me just go slow here with you the first all the rows
0:53
so you will work three half double crochet all right so i'm done with three half double crochet
1:00
then you will work three half double crochet in the same stitch this is what
1:06
I'm doing right now okay so you are increasing to half double crochet inside
1:12
this stitch so work three half double crochet in the same stitch I just did it
1:17
you see and then you work to have double crochet normally like one on each
1:24
stitch so one and two okay and then three double crochet again in the same
1:34
stitch so this is the second one and the third one and then now you have three
1:44
chains left and you work three half double crochet on each chain okay all
1:55
right super good and we finished here okay smile is kind of there now you chain
2:06
two, you join with a slip stitch in the last chain here where you crochet your
2:16
last half double crochet. Okay and now you turn your work and you start working
2:27
slip stitch on the other side of the chain. So you'll work here nine slip
2:34
stitch okay so you work one slip stitch in each of these chains very nice simple
2:45
easy just slip stitch all right this is super good now we will work a color
2:54
change just because this pattern is the way that it is so let's work this color
3:00
change here with a light pink. Okay, look at this. The smile! Okay, now for the next roll, right
3:12
Next round, actually, you will work back loop slip stitch in all of the stitches of the mouth
3:19
So go all around, grab all of your stitches here, and you work back loop slip stitch. Okay
3:27
that's it very simple i will catch you up super good look at this a mouth nice we can see a mouth
3:36
here now right now you see make sure that everything gets nice one side another now for
3:45
the third row you will work here with single crochet but once again you will work only in
3:53
the back loop of the stitch. Okay? So make back loop single crochet on each stitch over here. So
4:04
back loop single crochet in all of the stitches around the mouth. All right? So work here and I
4:10
will catch you up. Look at this. Perfect. Beautiful. And you join with a slip stitch. That's it
4:19
our mouth is ready super good now you leave a long tail for sewing and we have a long way to go
4:27
i'm joking we'll be done very soon let me just send this yarn here to the back this will help me
4:35
sew later. Okay, and look at this beautiful! Now let's give some teeth over
4:51
here, right? So I got a embroidery thread, the black one, and very simple and easy
4:58
we'll start just working here on this very edge here between the white and the
5:04
light pink you just start working lines straight lines make as many as you want You can make three of them if you want you know but i will make many of them don care how much how they are looking like
5:20
on the back because we will sew this nobody will see your back so you don't need to be
5:24
perfect on the back we will hide everything behind all right so go slow here see the distance you know I put the distance it I make basically on
5:39
every stitch but you can see that the top part is smaller than the bottom part so maybe the bottom
5:45
part sometimes I you know skip one stitch or another just to make sure that you have nice lines
5:51
but all in all that's it super good so work here and I will catch you up later
6:01
there is no secrets just make straight lines all right all the way until the end
6:07
once you're done look at this mouth full of teeth you see my background
6:14
okay this is much better all right we can cut this just fasten off you know
6:20
make sure everything is nice and tight and you have a nice, you know, knot. And that's it. Let's
6:26
move on. Now we will start working here the tail of our Cheshire cat. All right? So we'll start
6:33
again with a magic ring and you will repeat rounds one to four of the ears. So go a little
6:42
bit back on the video, repeat rounds one to four, and I will catch you up to continue here with this
6:49
tail that we are working on it. Alright, double secure the yarn, you know
6:57
Yeah, I will go very fast here. So basically you will work second round is one increase
7:06
and one single crochet and then third round one increase, two single crochet and you repeat two times
7:16
I told you to repeat rounds 1 to 5, but I'm adding here anyways
7:22
In round 4 you'll work 1 increase, 3 single crochet, and then you'll have 10 stitches
7:28
Right? Yes. And then you'll work here for the 5th round. Haha
7:35
Here is different. You'll work 1 increase, 4 single crochet, repeat 2 times, and you should have 12 stitches
7:42
at the end of this round. You see? Different. once you have finished once you are in the last stitch we will do what a color
7:52
change of course and you will work here for the round number 6 12 single
7:59
crochet okay very easy we want the shape of this tail a little bit different so
8:05
that's what we are doing here we want the beginning of the tail to be a little
8:09
sharp. All right? Great. So once you finish with the round number six, you will work round number
8:17
seven, six decreases, and you will have six stitches left. Okay? Super good. So work all of
8:27
your decreases. Here is one decrease followed by another one, following by another one, you know
8:32
on and on here. Where here it decreases, once you reach six single crochet, you see I'm living life
8:41
dangerously again, I'm not using stitch marker. Okay, now we will change to the light color
8:52
And we'll add, here is the only part that will add stuffing material, you don't need to add stuffing
8:57
material never more in this tale just in the beginning okay super good what's gonna happen
9:04
here now is we'll work two rounds with different colors so you will work round eight and nine with
9:11
the light pink okay and then you will work a color change to work your round 10 and 11 with a dark
9:19
pink and you work always six single crochet okay so i'm adding here on this video what you should
9:26
do, so you don't need to go to the written pattern if you don't want. So you change to the light pink
9:31
and you work 12 and 13 with the light pink. And then you change again, because that's the pattern
9:39
to the dark pink, right? It's in the dark pink. Well, you work 14 and 16. Whoa, 14 and 15. And then
9:49
you do one more color change, alright? And you work again 16 and 17. So this is how it should be
9:58
at the end, okay? So you just work all of your color changes here. It's very simple to do. I just
10:06
wanted to write everything on the screen so you have it. Okay, that's it. Now let's start assembling
10:14
this Cheshire cat Oh my goodness You see here the central part of the top We add here I add a fastened the pins and you can see how I position the ears The exactly position of this ear is in the written
10:29
pattern, okay? So there you can find which round I add these ears, okay? Now I'm just going to
10:36
show you here how I sew. So you grab one stitch from the head and one stitch from the ear. Okay
10:52
So once again, one stitch from the head and, okay, I think my neighbor is screaming. And one stitch from the ear
11:06
He's not screaming, he's singing in the carol. Okay, I don't know if you can hear. All right
11:14
Once you're done sewing your ears, let's start with this mouth. Oh my God, that's so beautiful
11:21
Okay, once again, I fasten with the pins in the central position
11:25
All right. You can just look where it looks symmetrical to you
11:30
but if you need the exact position and reach around, is it so you can count and be exactly where it is it you can check the written pattern in the
11:40
description below this video everything is there now once again you'll do the same thing with the
11:46
mouth okay one stitch from the mouth one stitch from the body and you should work here all the
11:53
way around my advice you when you're sewing is to go slow just relax go slow you know and
12:02
as slow you go you can see if everything remains on its position even though you fasten with pins
12:10
sometimes it can move i don't know it's like magic so just go slow you know if something
12:17
it's not on the right position don't be afraid of unravel and do it again sewing it's like this
12:25
i personally don't like this part of the toy but it's a part of the toy so we need to overcome
12:32
this okay I can remove this first pin and you see once you're sewing else the mouth will be
12:38
more looking like it belongs to the toy I don't know if that makes sense but that's how I feel
12:44
when you're just sewing and I will catch you up here at the end because it's a lot of stitches
12:49
look at this oh my goodness doesn't he make you smile he does me make me smile look at this
12:56
now I will embroider the eyes okay if you're using safety eyes check the written pattern
13:03
because I gave you the exact position so maybe you can even add while you're crocheting but for me
13:09
I like to embroider the eyes and here's what I'm going to show you how I do that so basically
13:15
basically i just add embroidery thread and i start working straight lines so i embroider
13:25
a couple of straight lines a lot of straight lines and then the straight lines becomes around i like
13:33
magic again so you just work here like keep embroidering lots and lots and lots of straight
13:41
lines, straight lines, forever straight lines, okay? I will move fast forward here because it's
13:47
a lot of straight lines. Well, not now because clearly I want to show you a bit more. Okay
14:00
Okay, straight lines. There is no trick here. Bunch of straight lines
14:09
Now I will move fast forward so you can see it better. Okay, so once you're done, you see, it becomes kind of round
14:18
It's magic, I'm telling you. Like, not completely round, but you see, nicely round
14:24
I will do the other one. Look at this. Ah! Okay, now we want to give some light, right, to this Cheshire cat
14:33
He looks a bit dead with these black eyes. And we will add a nice yellow color around his eyes
14:42
Because that's his eyes, right? We're almost done with this cat. Yay
14:50
Okay, so this is what I'm going to do here. You see? Just like an ice around the eye with this yellow color
15:01
Okay, go slow here, you know, very slow. And you position where you want it to be, like this, and it will be there, I'm telling you
15:14
Great, I will do the other one. fine now what we are going to do here is we will make a nose because he don have a nose right so let just this is optional to you but I think it gives him a charm right So with the piece of dark pink collar we will just start going here around
15:41
the stitches here in the central part, okay? So let me find the central part and we'll work
15:51
again a couple of lines inside a triangle I will show you
15:58
So like we have this the first line and it's in the central part, right
16:04
So let me move on here. Okay, so this is the central
16:19
So on top and bottom, you can see I will form a triangle here
16:26
Because it's kind of a triangle, the cat's nose, right? Okay, and once you finish with this triangle, what you need to do is you need to embroider inside the triangle
16:40
So none of the light pink is seen, okay? so here you go slow it's a very small tiny detail but it can make a nice difference
16:50
all right and then once you're done you can just rather uh cut this tail look at this
16:59
completely different right beautiful all right now what we want to do here is to add a little
17:06
bit of tuffy hair you know on his head so this is what i'm gonna do here i cut a couple of
17:13
strings here and you don't need to add many of them and I'm adding two of them on each stitch
17:20
over here so I'll add a couple of this tail maybe I cut too small but it's because we will
17:27
you know once we finished here we'll groom kind of groom the hair and then we'll need to cut it
17:35
so I don't want to cut too long yarn because it will not be there
17:41
Okay, so like this, you'll add a couple of more strings. You can add how many strings you want
17:49
So here I add, you know, maybe 10. So two by two, you see, it's very little
17:56
Now I add a couple of more, but not that many, you see? It looks funny now
18:03
Okay, look at this. Well, this is not nice. So let us just cut
18:08
You see, this is what I mean. So if I cut the thread like bigger, you know, but nevermind
18:12
I use this mixed with stuffing material later. Usually I will do this with a comb, but because it's so little, like it's not many of them
18:23
I will open these strings with a needle. Okay. I will just pull it like this
18:30
Okay. And I will take quite some time to do this, but you know
18:35
It needs to be done. You can do it with a comb, but it's not that many
18:39
So maybe it will not be effective. All right. And once you're finishing with everything, look at this
18:46
Look at this stuffy. Very nice. Now let's add the tail. And we are almost done with the cat
18:54
So we want this shape of the tail. I didn't do nothing much here
18:58
I myself just, you know, make it because I want the tail to be seen from the front, you know
19:04
so I'll add here the pins to fasten what I want okay and just what I want also is
19:12
that this light pink it's on the same light pink you know from one side to
19:17
another and I will sew this tail here in this kit beautiful so just make sure
19:29
sure this is the the thing make sure that the white not which white um the light light pink
19:39
color it's matching the light pink color from the body and from the tail that is the thing
19:45
that's what i want to say anyways you just saw it here you already saw so many things so this
19:53
will be a piece of cake right and once you're done one thing i want to show you you see this
20:01
line around this mouth i decided to do this later and i wasn't shooting but you know it's very simple
20:06
it needs to do and that's it guys i really hope you enjoyed this pattern i'm very happy to share
20:11
