Jake the dog Keychain
Hi peeps!
First of all, I wish you a Happy Geek Pride Day!! Hope you all are having fun today ^_^
Well, recently, my boyfriend introduced me to a new cartoon, which I fell in love! I’m talking about The Adventure Time :D Oh my, it is so good!! I love all characters and also the Brazilian dubbing is very good! Lumpy Space princess and Jake’s voice are so funny, hehe :)
Well, usually, when I’m excited with a new series, cartoon, game or anything else, my fingers twitch with the urge to crochet anything related, lol. So, as I wanted to make a gift for my love and I don’t have much time at the moment (I have a lot of tests to study), I decided to do something simple and cute. The result it was a Jake keychain, which also works fine to hang on your car’s rear-view mirror. It’s mathematical! :D
Materials:
– Yellow Yarn;
– 4mm and 2.5mm crochet hooks;
– Fiberfill;
– Tapestry needle;
– Scissors
– Pliers;
– White paint
– Black felt;
– Paint-brush;
– Contact glue;
– Keychain or cord.
Notes:
– I always do my crochet works using continuous rounds;
– Everytime I will do a crochet work, the first thing I do is take a look in the entirely pattern before start doing it, so, I can have an idea of how the pattern works. Well, I recommend you to do the same;
– For sewing the pieces together you will use the tapestry needle;
– To make the eyes you will use the felt and the fabric paint;
– To make Jake’s body you will use the 4mm crochet hook, but for the rest of the pattern the 2.5mm hook.

Just made this for my nephew. It was my first try at this type of crochet.
Love it, your pattern was well written.
Thank you SO much for this pattern.. I made it for my son and I hope he loves it as much as I do. :D
I just finally got around to making my own Jake, based on your pattern. Thanks for sharing it!

Hi all, after having a lot of trouble with the mouth with worsted weight yarn and.. a 0 hook (I didn’t have anything close to 2.5mm! that’s probably why..) I decided to make my own pattern for the mouth, which was with a method I found much easier:
Row 1: ch 8, turn
Row 2: sc 6. then ch 3 in the 7th stitch and turn your work upside down.
Row 3 (on underside of project): sc 5 directly underneath the chains, in the tiny holes left by the chains in row 2. sl st, and cut the yarn leaving a long tail for sewing the mouth together.
Now, sew the mouth together using a yarn/tapestry needle. What you do is put the needle through the stitch to the right of where your yarn connects to the project.
Then fold the sides of the mouth together slightly and put the needle through the stitch that corresponds to the one on the other side that you have already put your needle through.
Then go to the stitch next to it, on the right, sew the 2 stitches that match up together then continue moving to the next stitches (again, to the right) until the mouth is completely sewn.
Tie a knot and cut.
Hope this helps!

unreal! thanks so much for pattern!
Hey Mia!
I love this idea and great pattern, easy to read. I just started doing crochet, so i bumped into a few problems of course. I finished the body after three attempts :) now i want to start the mouth. What im so confused about is how to start with a Magic Circle and then continue in a straight line, MC is only for round things.. right? thank you!
excelente explicación!! por suerte me quedó increíble!!!
Hi! Thanks so much for sharing your pattern! Just wondering though, what weight yarn did you use?
Worsted yarn 10 ply (9 wpi)
Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Round 2: inc (12)
Round 3: sc, inc (18)
Round 4-10: sc in each sc (18)
Round 11: sc, dec (12)
Round 12: dec (6)
I saw this part of the instruction and I don’t really understand what’s the difference between “sc” and “inc”. I think it’s the same thing but I’m not too sure. By the way, your crafts are awesome! :)
Hi,
First, thank you!! ^_^ Well, Sc and Inc it isn’t the same thing. “Sc” means single crochet and “Inc” means increase. To make an increase is to crochet two singles crochets in the same stitch.
1)What about “dec”?
2) In Round 3, it’s “sc, inc”. Does it mean that I do one single crochet and then increase for 18 times or 17 times (minus the single crochet)?
Sorry if I sound stupid. :/
If a pattern says sc, inc 5x, the you sc in the first stitch, inc in the second, sc in the third, inc the fourth and so on… How ever many times the pattern indicates.
Thanks! Do you have any other amigurumi?
You are welcome! Yes, I have! Just click on the menu “Amigurumi Patterns” and you will find a other patterns, including a Lumpy Space Princess keychain.
You should make a video on how to make for those who are confused
Yeah, I would like to do one. When I get some time, I’m going to do it ^^
Love your pattern! Sorry to be dense, does continuous rounds mean you work in the normal spiral or joined rounds? Just want to make sure I have it clear in my head before I start – cheers.
Kirsty
Hi Kirsty,
I’m glad you enjoyed it! ^_^ It means that I work in the normal spiral.
Cheers ^^
What does “MR” stand for?
Hi Serena :)
“MR” means Magic Ring, also known as Magic Circle. It is a technique to start a Round. Here it is a video teaching how to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLUaywX0-WE
Algebraic! Thanks for sharing the pattern. You are tops blooby.
You are welcome!! ^^ lol, thank you!! :D
