Badtz Maru

Badtz Maru Plushie
Well I kinda did this guy on a lark. I've been sort of feeling under the weather and resting alot
this week, and decided to work on a smaller project that was just 'fun'. So on the suggestion of a
friend of mine, I made Badtz Maru.
I didn't want to make him just 'sitting there' and seeing that he's got such a cute and playful
attitude - and he's well known for making faces, I decided to make him sticking out his tongue
(cause it seemed to be a common pose for him and it made me laugh )
Hope you enjoy him, it was just a little side project to keep me from being too bored :D
Materials:
WW yarn black, white and yellow
Fiberfill
G Hook
Yarn needle
Sewing thread to match yarn and sewing needle
small bits of felt in white, black and red
Notes:
Gauge isn't terribly important on this project, as long as your choice of yarn and hook and your
individual tension result in an even, firm stitch so that the stuffing won't come through.
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round or row indicate the total number of stitches in that round
or row.
Head/Body:
Rnd 1: 8 sc in magic ring (8)

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (24)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc around (32)
Rnd 7- 17: sc in each sc around (48)
Rnd 18: sc in next 4 sc, dec over next 2 sc around (40)
Rnd 21: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc around (36)
Rnd 23-28: sc in each sc around (42)
Rnd 34: sc in each sc around (36)
F/O. Do not close opening. Make sure head/body is stuffed and shaped well.
BOTTOM:
Row 1: ch 15 , sc in second ch from hook and each chain across (14)

Row 2-4: sc in each sc across (14)
EDGING:P sc even around entire piece, slip stitch to beginning sc to end.
F/O. Weave in ends.
Place body bottom piece at opening of body. Using black sewing thread and needle, bring the
body opening edges in to meet up with the 'bottom' piece. Sewing together securely. The stitches
won't match up 'exactly' that's ok, just ease in the body edges to the bottom piece. This should
create a slightly narrow and flat bottom.
WHITE BELLY DECORATION:
Row 1: ch 2. 4 sc in second chain from hook (do not join, turn) (4)
Row 2: 2 sc in each sc across (turn) (8)
Row 3: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc across (turn) (12)
Row 4: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc across (turn) (16)
Row 5: sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc across (turn) (20)
Row 6. Sc in each sc across, do not turn, ch 1 and begin sc evenly across 'bottom', place last sc in
side of first sc of row 6. Ch1 turn
Row 7: sc in each sc across,
F/O weave in end. Pin and then sew to front of body as shown.
ARMS (make 2):

Rnd 2: sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc (6)
Rnd 3: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc (8)
Rnd 9: 5 sc , turn
Rnd 10: 4 sc turn
Rnd 11: 3 sc.
F/O. Stuff and weave in ends.
BEAK:
Rnd 1: Ch 6, sc in second chain from hook and each chain to end, turn work around and now
working down other side of starting chain, sc in each free loop to end. Slip stitch to first sc (10)
F/O, weave in end. Cut piece of red felt in the tongue shape desired, place in between the two
'open' ends of the beak. Flatten and match edges. Sew through all layers. Secure thread and
weave loose ends. (add a touch of detail with some black thread on the tongue as shown)
FEET (make 2):
Rnd 1: 8 sc in magic circle (8)

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc around (16)
Rnd 5: dec over next 2 sc around (6)
F/O. Weave in ends. Foot isn't stuffed just flattened.
'HAIR' SPIKES (make 4):

Rnd 3: sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc (8)
F/O. Stuff 'tails' into spike (add a tiny bit of fiberfill if you like to help shape the spikes)
TAIL:

F/O and weave ends. Don't stuff.
ASSEMBLY:
Pin all parts to the doll as shown (or as desired). Once you're satisfied with the look, sew all your
parts to the dolls securely. I put the arms on either side of the body, where the head/body meet
and positioned them to where they are 'pulling' on the beak from either side.
Tail is added just under the backside of the body (I don't know if Badtz actually *has* a tail, but
the way I ended up doing the bottom part of the body to get the shape I wanted, it was off
balance with only the feet, so the 'tail' is the third point of support and makes it to where he'll sit
up on his own)
Eyes are made from scraps of felt with tiny dots of black felt (a sequin will work here too) .
Have fun with this one, the best part of Badtz Maru, is his irreverent attitude and wild child
personality. :D
