Free Pattern - Happy Pills

This week I thought I’d bring you an updated version of one of my earliest patterns – the Happy Pills!

I wrote this pattern back in 2010, put it on my blog and kind of forgot about it. It was only recently - when I was thinking of easy patterns for beginners - that I remembered it. So I decided to re-vamp it and publish it a-new.

So here it is – the new and improved Happy Pills!

Happy Pills

You Will Need:

• Crochet Hook (I used 3mm)
• Small amount of Double Knit/Light WW Yarn
• 4mm Safety Eyes
• Yarn/Embroidery Needle
• Poly-fill Or Other Stuffing
• Blusher or pink eye shadow (optional)
• 
  
  Abbreviations
• Ch – Chain Stitch
•  Sc – Single Crochet
• St/Sts – Stitch/Stitches
• Slst – Slip Stitch
• Inc (Increase) – 2 Sc into 1 St
• Dec (Decrease) – 1 Sc across 2 Sts
• ** – Marks a group of stitches to be repeated until the round is completed

Gauge

• No gauge, just keep your stitches nice and tight to avoid gaps in your work

Finished Size

• 7cm’s Tall (approx) using a 3mm hook

Other Info

• As this is amigurumi, work in continuous rounds; in a spiral. Don’t join at the end of a row; just keep going
• I write my patterns in American terms, so Sc means Single Crochet; Dc means Double Crochet etc.
• The number at the end of each round is the number of stitches you should now have
