Ok y'all. Here he is. Lugia. I'm sorry that my pics are always crummy, but hey, I'm not a photographer LOL and I'm stuck with really old cameras that don't work unless they feel like it. This doll ain't for the faint of heart. It's better suited to experienced crocheters with a few serious dolls under their belts! He's larger than all the other pokemon I've made in the past and a little more difficult as well. I try to explain everything as well as I can in the pattern instructions, just take it one step at a time and I'll try to help you as much as I can... just post if you have any questions! I've been sick all week, and typing this wasn't easy while feeling so badly, so if you find anything that's wrong, out of place or just plain confusing - that's probably why - and let me know I'll fix it! Ok guys, here goes.... and good luck! :D MATERIALS: WW yarn in white (at least a full skein) medium blue and dark blue G hook Fiberfill Embroidery thread Small pieces of felt in white and black Sewing thread to match colors Yarn Needle Heavy Gauge wire for wings (optional) NOTES: Gauge isn't very important for this project, as long as your choice of yarn, hook and individual tension result in a firm consistent stitch that won't allow the stuffing to show through. Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches for that round or row. Lugia is one of the pokemon whose original 2-D design is not particularly well suited to 'plushie' form. He will be unbalanced. This doll is probably best designed to be suspended with fishing line or other 'invisible' material from a shelf or ceiling as opposed to 'sitting'. You can try weighing down his backside, but the wing structure will still be a nightmare. Some may be able to construct a wire frame for the inside of the wings that will help hold them out, but the sheer weight of the wings is still going to pull heavily on the sides of the body causing it to deform over time. Typically, I join my rounds when making dolls. If you're more comfortable with using continuous rounds, by all means go ahead, however, in this particular doll you may have some issues with the continuous rounds when working the 'wings'. If at all possible, you should probably join your rounds at least when crocheting the wings in this pattern. Be prepared to fiddle and fuss a bit with constructing this doll. As I said, it's not an easy one to make, but it DOES work. This pattern isn't well suited for a toy that will be 'played with'... it's best used for display purposes only. Lugia's HEAD/BODY and TAIL are all crocheted as a single unit. Rnd 1: 6 sc in magic ring (6) Rnd 2: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc (8) Rnd 3: sc in next 3 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc, 3 sc in next sc (12) Rnd 4: 3 sc in next sc, sc in each of next 4 sc, 2 sc in each of next 2 sc, sc in each of next 4 sc, 3 sc in last sc (18) Rnd 5: sc in each sc around (18) Rnd 6: 3 sc in next sc, sc in each of next 16 sc, 3 sc in last sc (22) Rnd 7: sc in next 10 sc, 2 sc in each of next 2 sc, sc in last 10 sc (24) Rnd 8-12: sc in each sc around (24) Rnd 13: sc in next 2 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (18) Stuff head at this point. Stuff firmly and shape while stuffing (this is your only chance to shape the head, so make sure you're happy with it before going on). Continue stuffing neck, body and tail as you progress through the pattern, just make sure that you have the shape you want as you stuff. The neck needs careful attention, as it needs to be stuffed quite firmly (particularly where it joins the head and the body) in order to keep it from 'lolling' later on. Rnd 14-16: sc in each sc around (18) Rnd 17: sc in next 4 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (15) Rnd 18-26: sc in each sc around (15) Rnd 27: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (18) Rnd 28: sc in each sc around (18) Rnd 29: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (21) Rnd 30: sc in each sc around (21) Rnd 31: sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24) Rnd 32: sc in each sc around (24) Rnd 33: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (30) Rnd 34: sc in each sc around (30) Rnd 35: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36) Rnd 36: sc in each sc around (36) Rnd 37: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (42) Rnd 38: sc in each sc around (42) Rnd 39: sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (48) Rnd 40-50: sc in each sc around (48) Rnd 51: sc in next 6 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (42) Rnd 52: sc in each sc around (42) Rnd 53: sc in next 5 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (36) Rnd 54: sc in each sc around (36) Rnd 55: sc in next 4 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (30) Rnd 56: sc in each sc around (30) Rnd 57: sc in next 13 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 13 sc, dec over last 2 sc (28) Rnd 58: sc in each sc around (28) Rnd 59: sc in next 12 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 12 sc, dec over last 2 sc (26) Rnd 60: sc in each sc around (26) Rnd 61: sc in next 11 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 11 sc, dec over last 2 sc (24) Rnd 62: sc in each sc around (24) Rnd 63: sc in next 10 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 10 sc, dec over last 2 sc (22) Rnd 64: sc in each sc around (22) Rnd 65: sc in next 9 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 9 sc, dec over last 2 sc (20) Rnd 66: sc in each sc around (20) Rnd 67: sc in next 8 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 8 sc, dec over last 2 sc (18) Rnd 68: sc in each sc around (18) Rnd 69: sc in next 7 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 7 sc, dec over last 2 sc (16) Rnd 70: sc in each sc around (16) Rnd 71: sc in next 6 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 6 sc, dec over last 2 sc (14) Rnd 72: sc in each sc around (14) Rnd 73: sc in next 5 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 5 sc, dec over last 2 sc (12) Rnd 74: sc in each sc around (12) Rnd 75: sc in next 4 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 4 sc, dec over last 2 sc (10) Rnd 76: sc in each sc around (10) Rnd 77: sc in next 3 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 3 sc, dec over last 2 sc (8) Rnd 78: sc in each sc around (8) Rnd 79: sc in next 2 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc in next 2 sc, dec over last 2 sc (6) Rnd 80: sc in each sc around (6) Rnd 81: dec over next 2 sc around (3) HEAD CREST: Rnd 1: 4 sc in magic ring (4) Rnd 2: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc, 2 sc in last sc (6) Rnd 3: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in last sc (8) Rnd 4: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc (10) Rnd 5: sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc, 2 sc in last sc (12) Rnd 6: sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in last sc (14) Rnd 7: sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc in last sc (16) Rnd 8: sc in next 7 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 7 sc, 2 sc in last sc (18) Rnd 9: sc in each sc around (18) F/O and weave in ends. You can add a tiny bit of stuffing here if you wish to create more of a rounded crest for the head, Or you can flatten the crest and pin in place to back of head in position desired (use photos for help with placement) WINGS (make2): (If you wish to add a wire frame to the wings, you will need to plan that frame to be introduced before crocheting the fingers. I recommend a wire frame that will go from wing tip to wing tip, through the 'body' of the doll. Otherwise, you won't have the needed strength to hold up these heavier wings. If you're going to be suspending the doll in the air, then the wire frame can be omitted, because you can use the strings as a way to 'position' your wings as if in flight) Rnd 1: Chain 7. Sc in 2nd chain from hook and each chain across. Turn work and working down the 'unused' side of the foundation chain, sc in the same chain as the last sc of other side, and each remaining chain across. Join to first sc with slip stitch.

Begin first 'finger': Flatten wing 'end' – matching up your sc stitches. You will be working through only one 'side' at a time, but using both sides for each finger. Rnd 1: sc in next 5 sc. Turn work so that other side is now facing you, sc in next 5 sc of the other side of the wing (what was the last 5 sc of the previous round) and join with slip stitch to first sc of 'finger' (10 sc) Rnd 2-8: sc in each sc around, joining each round with slip stitch in first sc around (10) Flatten end of 'finger'.

Just enough to allow it to hold the shape you desire. Using white thread, create the 'toes' by taking three large whipstitches over the 'ends' of the feet. Go back and do the same with black thread to create the 'toes'. Sew the foot to end of leg as shown.

With a doll this large, it's really important you get everything just the way you want it :D Figuring out the part placement isn't very hard (especially after what you've been through already LOL), just refer to the photos and get everything the way you want ! Then you can sew it all down. Eyes are cut from pieces of felt in the shapes shown. Mouth is embroidered on last. Lugia and Pokemon are copyright of Nintendo.

An Unputdownable College Hockey Brother's Teammate Romance.He's the tall, tattooed stranger I hooked up with on Halloween... and now he's my new roommate.After a sudden cross-country move, I’m stuck crashing with my older brother and two of his hockey teammates for sophomore year. I'm not thrilled about shacking up with three athletes and their stinky gear, rotating door of hookups, and tendency to inhale every snack in the house. Just one reason of many that hockey players aren't my type.When I walk in the front door with an armload of boxes, however, I'm faced with another problem.My anonymous fling from two months ago is Tyler Donahuethe superstar goalie for my brother’s team.We both agree to pretend it never happened, but it quickly becomes clear neither of us can forget. Before I know it, we're exchanging heated glances from across the room, sending spicy texts at all hours of the night, and stealing kisses behind closed doors.Since my overprotective brother would freak out, we decide to keep things between us a secret. There’s no point in rocking the boat when I don't want a boyfriend, and Tyler doesn't have time for a girlfriend with his grueling hockey schedule. But as our no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper and more meaningful, I begin to see a softer side of the broody, closed-off goalie. He's gentle, protective, and giving in every sense of the word. Despite what I told myself going in, I'm falling hard and falling fast.We said we'd keep things casual, but hearts have a way of breaking all the rules.Shutout is a college hockey romance with lots of spice, swoon, and a happily ever after. It’s the second book in the Rules of the Game series and can be read as a standalone.
