Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Crafting the Arms
- Begin with nude-colored yarn, using a magic ring with 6 single crochet stitches.
- Create rounds alternating colors (red and green) to achieve the striped sweater effect.
- Complete seven rounds, ensuring to leave enough thread for attaching to the body.
2. Creating the Legs and Shoes
- Start with black yarn, forming a magic ring with 10 single crochet stitches.
- Work through the back loop for the second round to keep the shoe flatter.
- Change to brown yarn for the pants and knit rounds 3–5. Cut the black yarn once the pants section begins.
- Make two legs and join them with a center chain to form the hips, completing round 6 with 22 single crochets.
3. Knitting the Body
- Alternate colors (red and green) every round to mimic Freddy’s sweater.
- Follow the sequence of decreases while filling the body during the final rounds.
- Finish at round 15 with 8 single crochets, leaving enough yarn to sew the body to the head.
4. Making the Hat
- Begin with black yarn, creating a flat round using increases (similar to the technique in shoe-making).
- Round 5 is worked through the back loop to flatten the top portion of the hat.
- Add additional rounds (6–11) normally. The brim is formed by working through the front loop using specific sequences of increases.
5. Facial Embroidery
- Use black embroidery thread to create angry expressions above the eyes and optional eyebrows.
- Use red thread for Freddy’s iconic textured scars across the face.
6. Assembly
- Sew the hat to the head. Ensure alignment for a square hat look.
- Attach the arms to the body, ensuring the color changes are hidden on the inner side.
- Finalize the assembly by securing all parts with sturdy knots or glue.
Tutor's Suggestions
- Adjust the thread thickness or crochet hook size to change the figure's final dimensions, but be mindful this may impact proportions.
