Tamagotchi Crochet Case / Cover Pattern
I just wanted to share this post, because I know a lot of people are looking high and low for a crochet pattern for tamagotchi! (me included when I first started....)
So yup. Here is my pattern - please do not redistribute it without my permission. The pattern is for the case shown in the photo.
I used a 4ply yarn (recommended hook size is 4mm) and I used a 3mm hook to make the stitches tigher.
I started out with a magic ring with 6 sc.
Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sts)
Round 3: 1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next stitch. Repeat around (18 sts) [multiples of 3]
Round 4: 1 sc in first 2 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch. Repeat around (24 sts) [multiples of 4]
Round 5: 1 sc in first 3 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch. Repeat around (30 sts) [multiples of 5]
Round 6: 1 sc in first 4 stitches, 2 sc in next stitch. Repeat around (36 sts) [multiples of 6]
-Check if it fits the back of the tamagotchi, if yes stop increasing, if no increase your stitch count; multiples of 7 = 42 sts... and so on)
Depending on your tamagotchi model you might have to keep increasing the stitches, the pattern will keep increasing in multiples.
After the size fits the back of the tamagotchi, you just have to sc around, and eyeball to decrease the stitches as the front part is smaller. I usually do around 5 sc decrease in each round, but it really depends on how you crochet and how it fits your tamagotchi. If you want to make a hole to fit your lanyard or what not, you will have to trial and error to see which round you have to skip the stitches. I made mine too big, I guess skipping 2 stitches will be enough. To be safer you might want to skip 3 stitches. I skipped 4 :/ if you don't know how to do this just google "crochet how to make button hole".
I end my main yarn one round before it actually covers the tamagotchi and add in the furry yarn to have the effect.
To make those cute little ears you start with a magic ring with 8 sc and the next round double it (16 st). Cut it and join it to the cover.
Do note to make your yarn tail (both beginning and ending) longer so you can sew it in without having to attach new yarn!
