Wicket the Ewok


A few years ago I made my Star Wars mad son an Ewok amigurumi, Wicket to be precise. I posted it up on Craftster, and even managed to write a tutorial on how to make it. It was fairly rough, so in an attempt to practice my pattern-writing skills and try out making PDFs (in the hope that I will be able to put some of my patterns on Etsy) I now present the latest updated version:

**Edited to add**

I know the link above can be a bit unreliable, so I've now also put up a recently updated version of the pattern as a download in my Ravelry store: http://www.ravelry.com/stores/lucy-ravenscar-designs

  1. Howdy LucyRavenscar, we have four of your patterns listed at Ravelry.com with different designer names. The two Totoros are attributed to Heavens Hellcat and the Dragon and Ewok are attributed to Angry Angel. Of course, you also use LucyRavenscar.

    Under which name would you like your designs attributed? We would like to use one name and alias the others.

    Or, join us at www.Ravelry.com and get linked as a designer.

    Thanks,
    papertole

  2. Hi, could you use LucyRavenscar please? That would be great. It's so awkward when you end up with loads of different names!

    I really must get more active on Ravelry, I haven't quite got the hang of it yet.

  3. Sounds great - LucyRavenscar it is.

    Oh, so you are on Ravelry. Great!. If you need any help with anything, I hang out on the Help group and Ravelry Editors and For The Love Of Ravelry. I use the same name here as I do there.

  14. Thank you, your Wicket looks sweet! I agree, when you've just made the feet and joined them together, they do have cute little butts!

  15. The link is not working for me. Could you email it to me? BJLindsayGa@hotmail.com Thank you so much.

  16. hello, first thanks for the input.
    I've been reading your employer and do not understand the acronyms FO, I could clarify, thank you very much

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks eva.

    FO means fasten off. When you finish a part, you cut the yarn and pull it through the loop on the hook.

  21. I can't figure out the fingers, unless I'm counting wrong there are 6 stitches in only the base of five? Chain five, skip first 2 chs then the Bob st and SC in the chain after, so that's 4 out of the original five... and I still need to do it two more times? Am I reading this wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  22. You do a bobble and an sc in one chain, so out of the 5 ch, 2 are just a turning chain, then you do two stitches into each of the remaining three chain, making six stitches in all. If you find that very fiddly, try making the chain a bit looser, or use a larger hook to make it.

  23. Hi Lucy, i love your pattern for wicket thanks! I was wondering if you give permission to sell the finished wicket or other items made from your free patterns and to credit you as the pattern designer?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks! Personally, I don't mind people making and selling toys made from my patterns, as long as they credit me, as you said.

  25. I just love you evoke pattern. I wonder if you can clarify the feet part. It says to sc 3 rounds on 15 sts but then it says on row 6 to increase

    ReplyDelete
  26. I have checked the pattern and the numbering of the rounds for the feet and body was wrong. I have now corrected this and uploaded the new version.

  27. Lucy I am having trouble figuring out how to piece the hood.....any suggestions

    ReplyDelete
  28. Susie, which part are you having problems with exactly? How much have you made so far?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Hey! Idk if you are still active in here but I have a question about the feet part after doing the popcorn stitch of the toes it says this, (partial round) [3 dc pop in next st, sc in next st] 3 times.
    Change to brown yarn and reset the start of the round.
    Round 4: [sc2tog] 9 times, sc in next 6 st - 15 st. So I do what you have written down I assumed the 9 sc2tog is for the back of the foot and then I do the 6 sc which covers one toe but I still have some stitches that need to be worked in. Am I doing something wrong?
