R4: *SC 2, 2 SC in next st* rep 6 times (24 sts)

R6: *SC 4, 2 SC in next st* rep 6 times (36 sts)
R7: *SC 5, 2 SC in next st* rep 6 times (42 sts)
R8: SC around to 42nd st ch 1, turn (42 sts)
R9: SC around back to 1st st, ch 1, turn (42sts) This is how you will continue to shape the bangs for the next 3 rows. (R10-R12)
Now you will start shaping the rest of the hair.
R13-R14: SC around, stop when there are 8 sts left, ch 1, turn. You have now completed the bangs and will continue to make the longer part of bob. (24 sts)
R14-R18: SC to end of row, CH 1, turn. (24 sts)
R19: SC in next 4 sts, SC 2 together across, CH 1, turn. (18 sts)
R20: SC across, CH 1, turn. (18 sts)
R21: SC in next 3 sts, SC 2 together across, bind off, leave a long tail for sewing. (12 sts)
You should now have a little, black hair helmet. Sew it onto Buttercup's hair, being sure to position it correctly. Once it's sewn on, fold up the bottom corners from front to back and sew them together to make the bob have more of that flipped appearance.
If anyone can think of a better way to make the hair, please let me know what you did! I am still not 100% satisfied with mine. Also, I forgot to write this down as I was making it, so I tried to figure out what I did by staring real hard at the hair on the doll. If you see any horrible mistakes, or if something seems impossible, please let me know! I want to share patterns that are actually easy to use. ;)
Sew all the body parts together, and you have a Powerpuff Girl!

I love this! It looks just like her.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to do Blossom and Bubbles, too?
Eventually! I've been putting it off.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, she is adorable. My daughter in college would love this! Thanks so much for sharing. Love your other things, too -- you are very talented!
ReplyDeleteThis honestly looks...rather horrible to say the least. It's so un-proportional and looks nothing like buttercup :( I am an avid ppg fan and this just is disappointing. Btw this person -> https://www.etsy.com/listing/180877134/crocheted-buttercup-of-the-powerpuff?ref=market <- are selling these items for a profit. Just in case you might not be ok with it.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, how could I be so stupid. Buttercup has perfect human proportions! It takes an anonymous, internet genius to point out the obvious for me. Thank you, kind soul. You've changed my life, I'll rewrite my pattern right away so it looks exactly how you want it to look!
DeleteOkay so I tried this pattern of yours except I had a short amount of time so I did every other step. I used all-purpose sewing thread (twisted 8 strands together for appropriate thickness) because it's more durable. I have to say, this is one of the most garbled patterns I have tried. At first I thought it was because I was knitting this on chopsticks, and the thread kept catching so I'd have to cut it and tie it back in somewhere, but honestly I hate to say this, I think it's your pattern. Please fix this.
ReplyDeleteClearly annon you can't read patterns its pretty basic and straight forward.. I haven't worked it up BC I'm away from my yarn but I just read it and did it all in my head it reads like any other CROCHET pattern out there.. Maybe you should put down the chopsticks, we aren't at the buffet, and pick up a CROCHET HOOK.. It's not a knitting patter after all
DeleteThis is adorable, I can't wait to give the pattern a try! Good work on your creation! I would love to see the other girls, did you ever try them?
ReplyDeleteI just finished making this and aside from I think 1 stitch count error, this pattern was FINE to follow. She looks a tiny bit wonky but she's a Cartoon! Thanks for the FREE pattern!
