Robot Crochet

I love robots, and I love to crochet, so it just makes sense that I'm crocheting robots. I began by following a pattern for a robot, and then I branched out and created my own. And holy cow, it appears I've got quite a knack for this whole robot-crochet-design thing!

Here are some pictures of the robots I've designed, and links to where you can purchase the patterns! If you do purchase a pattern and find anything confusing or wrong in it, please contact me here or via etsy or ravelry and let me know!! And I would *LOVE* to see pictures of your finished products!

The Happy Little Robot

This was the first little guy I created on my own... and by little I mean 20" from foot to antenna. He is just so stinkin' cute! You can find him here on Etsy, or you can find him here on Ravelry.

The Kyra-bot

This was designed for my friend's granddaughter, Kyra. She's one of my fav's, for sure! She's got a skirt and everything! I love this robot. I should probably make her again for my little girl. You can find the Kyra-bot here on Etsy, or here on Ravelry.

Caleb's Robot

I couldn't think of a name for this guy, and I made him for my cousin's baby boy (Caleb), so Caleb's Robot seemed fitting. :-) He's got a pretty sweet antenna on his noggin', and the sides of his head were crazy awesome to make. I'm pretty proud of it! Caleb loves him, too. You can find Caleb's Robot here on Etsy, or here on Ravelry.

 Mr. Banks

This is Mr. Banks. I was inspired by my little girl's "piggy" bank, which is actually a robot, and naturally we call him Mr. Banks when we say goodnight to him. I'm writing a children's book about Mr. Banks as well! You can get the pattern for him here on Etsy, or here on Ravelry.

Robot Pacifier/Toy Holder

OK this little fella doesn't have a name, but he is pretty useful! He's got a loop on his head, as well as a loop on each hand, and you mom's and dad's can attach toys and such to the loops. Or you could attach this guy to your baby's play yard, stroller, or carseat. You can get the pattern here on Etsy, or here on Ravelry.

Robot Toddler Tunic

Gah! Check this out!! I had just finished making a custom Tardigrade for a customer in the reddish color, and I had a bunch of yarn left. I wanted to use it up (I didn't even come close) and I had this idea for a darling little tunic for my little lady. So this is what I came up with! Seriously, who says robots are just for boys? Pshhhhht. You can get the pattern for this here on Etsy, or here on Ravelry. This is my latest and so-far-last robot creation, but I've got ideas for others!

Cute Crochet Robot, Mr. Banks!

I've done it again... I've crocheted a handsome fellow all by myself. I mean, I always do it all by myself, but what I mean is that I created him and the pattern literally all by myself!

I did have inspiration, though! My little lady's nursery is all decorated in robots. When I see stuff with robots, like shirts or tights or "piggy" banks, I just can't help myself--it winds up in our little robot shrine. It's really cute in there, honestly.

Ramona likes to say goodnight to her robots. We say goodnight to "Stan," and "Lois," and "Boris," (framed prints on the wall), then Mr. Banks, and Gregory! (Gregory is a *reallyreally* awesome lamp that my husband's BFF, Greg, gave us after she was born. It just seemed like the right name to give it.)

So, sometimes I find myself sitting there in her room, rocking her or just sitting while she destroys the order of everything *ahem*, and I think to myself "hey, self, you should make a crochet robot similar to that one!" And so, I bring you... Mr. Banks!!

I've also written a children's book about Mr. Banks... hopefully to be published in the near future. :-)

Cute Crochet Robots!

I'm a maniac. I crochet like nobody's business. (Does that make me a crocheniac?) For years and years I followed patterns. Simple patterns, complex patterns, you name it. I made all kinds of stuff, but I wouldn't venture out and make stuffed animals. Well along came December 13th of 2011. A coworker asked me if I could crochet a reindeer hat for her, with stuffed antlers and sewn-on button eyes, and she needed it by Dec 15th. Not one to let people down, I spent my birthday (the 14th) crocheting this hat and branching out with my skills. This single project really transformed my life, and I will forever be grateful for that challenge.

Fast forward to 2015.... I now create and sell my own patterns for crocheted robots! OK let me explain my love for robots. Back in 2012, while my then-fiance and I were simply talking about maybe having a baby, I one day got this inspiration in my mind to decorate the future nursery in robots--no matter the flavor of the baby! Boy or girl, we would have robots galore! And that's what happened when our sweet little baby girl was born in 2014. We have a robot nursery. She has tons of robot shirts and tights and sweatshirts. Robots have grown quite dear to my heart. And, naturally, I wanted to crochet her a stuffed robot. I found a pattern on etsy.com for a pretty basic little robot. I used huge yarn and a huge hook to make it really big. This was the very first stuffed animal(robot, obviously) I'd ever made!

A good friend of mine saw this robot and she eyed it with admiration. She then had a massive outcropping of grandchildren (FIVE, suddenly, crazy huh?) and she presented me with a proposition in January of 2015. She asked me to make 5 crochet robot hats, plus 5 crochet stuffed robots by Christmas of 2015. Challenge accepted!

When it came time to start, which I believe I did in September of this year, I went on a hunt for more crocheted robot patterns. I found a few but they weren't all that fantastic. I made three of them from patterns and then I just knew I was going to have to make up my own. So I did, and I wrote down the patterns, and they are so brilliant! Here is little Robbie Robot:

And this here is his good friend, Kyra-bot. (She was made for a little girl named Kyra.) 

My friends and family are pretty excited about my unique robot designs and I'm already getting orders! But for each request I'm making an additional brand new unique one-of-a-kind robot, writing the patterns as I go! This is so fun! I've literally lost sleep over this because I am just so excited.

Currently I'm working on a robot called Mr. Banks. I'll post a blog about him as soon as he's finished!
