Are you playing Pokemon Go? I LOVE it! When I first started playing I had an idea — I needed a crochet Pokemon Go hair clip to warn everyone around me not to step on the nearby monsters I was trying to catch! And also to explain what I was doing wandering around the neighborhood while staring at my phone, in case the neighbors weren’t up on the new game yet. 😉
Would you like one, too? I played around a little bit and came up with a quick pattern, which I am happy to share!
(P.S. I’m compiling a list of the best crochet Pokemon patterns and will be posting that early next week…but there are some gaping holes in the list of first generation Pokemon – it doesn’t look like there are patterns for a bunch of them! If you have a free pattern for a Pokemon and would like to be included in my roundup post, please send me your link or drop it in the comments.)
Materials Needed:
- Red, white, and black worsted weight yarn (I used I Love This Yarn! from Hobby Lobby, which is the absolute best for this sort of thing!)
- Black felt
- Black embroidery floss
- A barrette or hair clip (I used Scunci clips)
- About 30 minutes
How to Crochet Pokemon Go Hair Clip:
- First you’ll make two semicircles (one red, one white):
- Ch 2
- DC 8 into second ch from hook
- SC 1, turn, {SC, inc.} across
- Bind off and weave in ends
- Next you’ll add the point for the map pin:
- Sl st white yarn to 5th SC on the curved part of the semicircle
- Ch 5, turn
- Sl st into the second ch from hook, then SC, HDC, DC
- Sl st into the 2nd SC from where you first joined the yarn
- Bind off, stitch the DC to the stitch between the two places the yarn was sl st to the semicircle, and weave in ends
- Next you’ll make the white circle for the center of the Pokeball:
- Make a magic loop, and SC 6 into ML
- Join black yarn, and {sl st, inc} around
- Bind off and weave in ends
- Then we join everything together!
- With black yarn, SC the white and red semicircles together along the straight edges, and then SC evenly around the outside edges
- Using embroidery floss, stitch the white circle to the center of the Pokeball
- Cut out a piece of black felt for the backing, and stitch the barrette to the felt using embroidery floss
- Use embroidery floss to attach the crochet to the felt
- Finally, wear it while hunting for Pokemon!
I hope you like this pattern and catch all of the Pokemon!
Tell me who your favorite Pokemon is! Who is the best one you’ve caught so far?
