Happy holidays!
I am so excited about Christmas this year. For the last few years, Christmas just hasn’t felt like Christmas. The hubby was deployed one year and then we were locked down the next and couldn’t be with our family. So, this year is as close to a normal Christmas as we have had in a while.
I intend to make the most of it without falling behind with my projects. That being said, let’s move on to the subject of this post…My Buzz Lightyear crochet pattern!
I wanted to capture as much detail and realism as possible. This project allowed for a lot of mixed media use, but you can always do it in a way that suits you and your resources/tools.
Overall, I am so happy with the way that my Buzz turned out. I did find the body a bit difficult and ended up doing it in two parts and just whipstitching them together. I blame sleep deprivation. The twins were going through a sleep regression for a few weeks during which time I became a zombie. I was struggling to comprehend how to crochet the most basic of shapes. Fortunately, their sleeping patterns have now returned to normal.
I will at some point like to change the head and torso to make it one continuous piece. However, for the time being, this method still works and gives the desired outcome. I also missed a few pictures at various stages, but I will try to depict the steps the best I can.
To get that characteristic Buzz look, I decided to crochet all the parts separately and then connect them. Initially, I was going to just put them together with yarn to attach. However, in the end, I opted to connect the parts using a thin wire so that Buzz was manoeuvrable. Because the wire that I used was so thin I was able to thread it through. I then went in afterwards and connected each part by stitching with yarn.
The overall size of Buzz is approximately 9 inches tall and 5 inches wide (shoulder to shoulder).
