Beastie bag


Yes, I did it! I 'designed' my first 'thing'! I bet I'm not the only one who had this idea, but I made it all by myself. *proud gloat*
I've written it all out as a nice doc-file, but as I haven't got a clue how to post files here, it is in this post for you to enjoy (anybody???).

THE BEASTIE BAG
The body:
R1: Make a ring out of 4 ch, fasten, 2 ch (end every row with fasten and 2ch).
R2: 9 dc in ring.
R3: 2 dc in every st.
R4: 2 dc in every st.
R5: 2 dc in every 3rd st.
R6: 2 dc in every 6th st.
R7: 2 dc in every 10th st.
R8-15: dc.
R16: decr every 5th and 6th st.
R17: decr every 5th and 6th st.
R18: make a row with holes, I used 2 ch and skipped 2st.
R19: end with sc in every st (sc or ch).

Without binding off, continue with the trunk.
R1: 18 dc around 1 (or 2) hole(s).
R2-3: dc.
R4: on both sides of the trunk, decr 2 st.
R5-6: front of the trunk dc, back of the trunk sc (this makes the curve).
R7-8: dc.
R9-11: on both sides of the trunk, decr 2 st.
R12: front sc, back dc.
R13-14: dc.
R15: decr 1st and 2nd st, rep. Bind off.

Tusks:
Make a long enough chain and double back on it with sc. (I made it 120 st long.) Weave into the row with holes under the trunk.

Ears:
Check where you want the ears. Starting from the top of the head:
R1: loop 8 ch st into the body.
R2: 2 sc in every st.
R3: 2 dc in first 4 st (bottom of the ears).
R4: 2 dc in last 8 st.
R5-6: dc.
Repeat for other ear.

Add eyes and off you go!

Wat is het een mooi ontwerp geworden, gefeliciteerd, hij is prachtig!
Dat had je nou niet moeten doen: een olifant kiezen! Ik ben gék op olifantjes (ze hebben zulke leuke oren).
