McCalls Pikachu Plush 2512 Sewing Pattern

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh... I figure it's okay to share bc it's kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too

This is FREE, please don't pay for the pattern.

Only the EMBROIDERY is paid.

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket

In 2020 my husband and I got really into the 1984 Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. In The Musgrage Ritual, the fourth episode of the second season, Holmes spends a lot of time swanning around being cranky wrapped in a crochet blanket. I had: lots of online classes and zoom calls, lots of pent up anxiety and energy, a wrist injury that flared up during any crafting except crochet, and a Holmes-loving husband who was just as obsessed with this iconic blanket as I was. So I made this!

If you'd like to make one too, read on. I wrote the pattern two different ways; both are under the cut. There's a quick and dirty version where I assume you know the basics of crochet and throw some details at you and it's pattern chaos. And it's followed by a nice, neat, detailed pattern with more specific instructions. Caveat for both: I'm a long-time "figure-it-outer" when it comes to fiber craft and I've made up tons of projects but I am new to writing a pattern for someone else to interpret. So good luck in there. And let me know if you have questions!

Both patterns under the cut.

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket, Chaos Pattern

Make a granny square with fingering weight yarn and a size D crochet hook (or whatever size you know you like to use for fingering weight). You need a dark grey, a light grey, a warm medium brown, and a beige. I used Knit Picks Palette in Marble Heather (7 balls), Silver (4 balls), Brindle Heather (3 balls), and Camel Heather (5 balls). Start with dark grey and just do a granny square, round and round forever and ever in the following stripe pattern for a total of 80 rounds. Try to keep your tension nice so it doesn't curl in on itself. I like this granny square tutorial from Purl Soho if you need more guidance. On the last round, skip the ch1 spaces between each set of 3 dcs and in the corners turn with ch1 instead of ch2. Blanket! Mine came to about 64" square.

Stripe Pattern:

Rounds 1 - 14: Dark Grey

15 - 16: Medium Brown

17 - 18: Dark Grey

19 - 21: Beige

22 - 24: Dark Grey

25: Light Grey

26 - 27: Medium Brown

28 - 31: Dark Grey

32 - 33: Light Grey

34 - 36: Medium Brown

37: Light Grey

38 - 44: Dark Grey

45 - 46: Light Grey

47 - 52: Medium Brown

53 - 59: Beige

60: Light Grey

61 - 62: Dark Grey

63 - 67: Beige

68 - 69: Dark Grey

70: Light Grey

71 - 71: Beige

73 - 76: Dark Grey

77 - 78: Light Grey

79: Dark Grey

80: Light Grey

Granada Holmes Granny Square Blanket, Detailed Pattern

Yarn: KnitPicks Palette in Marble Heather (7 balls), Silver (4 balls), Brindle Heather (3 balls), and Camel Heather (5 balls)

Or substitute with: Fingering Weight in Dark Grey (350g), Light Grey (200g) Medium Brown (150g), and Beige (250g).

Hook: Size D (or as needed to attain gauge)

Gauge & Dimensions: Not terribly important. A granny square of four rounds should measure about 3.25" to yield a blanket about 64" square.

Pattern:

If you need yet more detail, this granny square tutorial gets very specific! (Please note this pattern has not been tested, it's just a record of how I made it which is accurate to the best of my ability.)

Set up: With Dark Grey, ch 6, sl stitch into first st to join into a circle.

Rnd 1: Ch3, 2dc into the ring, ch2, 3dc into ring, ch2, 3dc into ring, ch2, 3dc into ring, ch2, sl st into top of ch3 to close the round.

Rnd 2: Ch3, 2dc into corner space, *ch1, 3dc in next corner space, ch2, 3dc into same corner space*, repeat * * 2 more times, ch1, 3dc into initial corner space, ch2, join to top of ch3 with sl st to close round.

Rnd 3: Ch3, 2dc into corner space, *ch1, 3dc in next ch1 space, ch1, 3dc, ch2, 3dc in next corner space*, repeat * * two more times, ch 1, 3dc in next ch1 space, ch1, 3dc in initial corner space, ch2, join to top of ch3 with sl st to close round.

Rnd 4: Ch 3, 2dc into corner space, *(ch1, 3dc in next ch1 space) twice, ch1, 3dc, ch2, 3dc in next corner space*, repeat * * two more times, (ch1, 3dc in next ch1 space) twice, ch1, 3dc in initial corner space, ch2, join to top of ch 3 with sl st to close round.

Rnd 5 and beyond: Maintain pattern of beginning with ch3, 2dc in corner space, *ch1, 3dc in ch1 space* across the side of the square, 3dc, ch2, 3dc in corner space, and finishing final side of the square with ch1, 3dc in initial corner space, sl st to join. See Rnd 80 (final row) below.

Follow stripe pattern above, cutting yarn from old color after sl st to end round and joining new color on the ch3 of a new round.

Rnd 80: Ch3, 2dc in corner space, *(3dc in next ch1 sp) across the side of the square until last ch1 sp, 3dc, ch1, 3dc in corner space*, repeat * * two more times, (3dc in next ch1 sp) across side of square until last ch1 sp, 3dc in initial corner space, ch1, join to top of ch3 with sl st to close round.

Weave in ends.

Nothing is made better by food insecurity or unstable housing. Like, you can pretend they're not connected. But being poor makes everything worse, including your mental health.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Might I add:

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

The human who died of radiation poisoning after repairing the spaceship

So I’m catching up on Welcome to Nightvale and can we just take a moment to appreciate the episode The Big Game? I love when they do this and just have an episode that focuses on one thing, like the thought process of one character. It’s such a great change of pace.
