Baymax

Long time no see!

Reason being I am now looking after a small little (now three month old) human being so things have been hectic but crochet is still something I do in my (very little) downtime. So I'm back here with a pattern for Baymax! 

This was made for my friend's son. I hope he enjoys cuddling him!

I made him from an 8ply yarn and a size 4.00 hook (the standard I use for all the patterns here. He is 32cm (12 1/2 inches) tall.

The facial features were felted on as the plush was made for a small child. You can use plastic eyes if it's for an older child.

Arms

Leave a stitch marker 8 stitches into the round and continue. 

Round 9 - 38: SCx30 (30, 30 rounds) See note at the end of this piece if you wish to have fingers

Flatten the piece so that the stitch marker in round 8 is in the centre of the front. SC until you reach the edge and move your stitch marker here. This is the new start of the round. In my piece this was 5 stitches. Then you can remove the stitch marker from round 8 as that’s no longer required. Stuff firmly up to this point.

The round ends in the back of this piece.

The stitch marker is moved after crocheting an additional 5 stitches so that the round is on the edge with the initial (yellow) stitchmarker in the centre. The amount of stitches may differ depending on the way you crochet.

Round 47: SC2togx6 

Sew onto the body so that the decreases are on the outside. 

I left off the fingers on purpose. If you want to make fingers for Baymax, make the arms about 5 rounds shorter in the repeat section and then make tubes for the fingers and thumb. The tubes would be:

Round 1: CH2, SCx6 in the 2nd stitch from the hook (6)

Round 2 - 5: SCx6 (6, 4 rounds)

Chest Disc

Round 1: CH2, SCx6 in the 2nd stitch from the hook (6)

Round 2: 2SCx6 (12)

Round 3: (FLO) SCx12 (12)

Sew onto the body using the leftover back loops.
