Cheese-kun

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

I hope this is alright to share in this community? If not, let me know, and I'll delete this post asap. I spent the day creating a crochet plush of Cheese-kun:

For any of you that are crafty/can crochet, I'll be sharing the pattern soon. I only have rough notes right now that I plan on cleaning up so others can make one for themselves, as well. :) He measures approximately 15" tall & 9" wide.

EDIT! Pattern now available! You can download it here (PDF format), please right-click and save as... to your desktop, or wherever.

This is a CROCHET PATTERN, labeled intermediate level.

Required skills: crocheting in the round, double-ring method of forming a ring, slip stitch,single crochet, increases, decreases, and joining pieces together.

Code Geass is the property of © CLAMP and Sunrise. チーズくん (Cheese-kun) is the property of Pizza Hut (Japan). I am not associated in any way to CLAMP, Sunrise, or Pizza Hut. This is a fan-created crochet pattern.

I'll have to get back to those of you interested in making a knit version, as I can't quite wrap my head around converting a pattern right now. :) Generally though, 1 row/round of single-crochet stitch is the equivalent to 2 rows of stockinette or garter stitch in knitting. Everything is done in the round, and are basically tube-shapes with closed ends.

Holy crap, that is WIN.

I can knit but that's about it. XD

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Thank you! (^o^)

I've never converted crochet to knit before, but this thing is made all in the round and I'm sure can be modified to knit. After I write out the crochet pattern, I'll think it through and make some notes about possibly making a knit version. :) Though, I don't have the yarn on hand to test it out.

[midoriankh.livejournal.com]

I taught myself to knit, so I think I'll just self-teach myself how to crochet, too. I really want to make a Cheese-kun. XD

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Oh ok, awesome! I'm self-taught too, for both. :D

[ex-nightray.livejournal.com]

That is really cute and awesome, great job! ^_^

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

^o^ thanks~~

[faroredono.livejournal.com]

He's adorable!^^ Now I totally wish I had a Cheese-kun plushie.

I'm not a crafty person.My aunt is trying to teach me how to crochet.And one time I tried knitting,but I failed horribly.

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

I learned crochet first before I learned knitting (which I thought was SO hard for a long while, too). The books by Debbie Stoller are good, and the Boye-brand kits at the craft stores.

[tsuzuki-inu.livejournal.com]

So cute! I love the hat XD I might have to teach myself to crochet now...

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Thanks! And yayyyy, do it! We can all have crochet plush cheese-kuns! (Without having to eat all that pizza!)

[cinnamongranola.livejournal.com]

you're so talented! that's so incredibly cute and awesome.

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

^o^ thanks very much!

[honeycorrupts.livejournal.com]

Woah. Good job! You're so lucky that you know how to crochet. Its super cute!

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

thank you! i taught myself a few years ago (was bored one summer lol), and i looove it. it's pretty easy if you get a good book or kit!

[teppi.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I wish I was able to crochet so I could make one. XD

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

aww thank you!
& you should try to learn! it was pretty easy, and to make cheese-kun only requires some basic skills.

[creamysoup.livejournal.com]

That is SO cute! I didn't know what to expect when I saw this on my flist and clicked. XD Nice job!

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Haha XD thanks very much!

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

It's when I see something like that I feel really really bad having given up knitting/etc just because I thought it was oldfashioned *is rly rly ashamed of herself*

I'd like to try again, maybe using your pattern when you get the time to make it^^
Because your cheese-kun looks so hugable-cute *__*

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, when I was first learning crochet, I already felt like it was old-fashioned. I would never bring my projects out into public because people would say, "You're....... knitting?" or some comment like, "My grandma does that!" But there's some really great stuff you can do and now I don't feel like it's old-fashioned at all!

My pattern is in crochet, but I think could be modified to a knit version, though I'll have to think that through before I post notes about that.

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Yupp, I'm thinking of cosplay gear, it could really be a useful skill.

No need to modify anything for me; I'm a person who likes trying new things, so why not crochet^^

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely. I don't cosplay, but its definitely useful for making these little plush characters.

I just posted the pattern (PDF), it's in the main post. :)

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Thank you; just saw it, and will try next WE >_

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

^o^ if you have any questions from the pattern, feel free to ask! and do share finished photos! :)

[kitsune-no-ame.livejournal.com]

Okie dokie, now I really have to get started! xD

[runesque.livejournal.com]

C.C. would love to have you now that she no longer needs those points XD.

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

[kanasaii.livejournal.com]

My goodness, this will be a perfect birthday gift for my C.C cosplayer friend.
But I can't crochet for geass @_@;

Would you be ebaying it or something soon? ^^

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Oh! I never thought about selling these, but if you're interested send me an e-mail: melons (at) mmm-fruit (dot) com and we can probably work something out!
