Crochet Planet Earth Cuddle Buddy

March 28, 2017

Globie16

Meet Globie! He’s a happy, squishy, cuddly, and soft crochet planet Earth! Earth Day is April 22nd and Globie wants to teach everyone about environmental protection. Get the kids (and adults) informed and excited about taking care of our land by using this sweet little guy as a prop. Keep in mind though that despite my best efforts, the map is NOT geographically correct 🙂

Materials:
– Bernat Super Value in Lush Green and Hot Blue (these colors are perfection for planet earth!). Shop for this yarn HERE at Yarnspirations.com.
– Bernat Super Value in True Red if you are going to make the tiny heart.
– Long strand of black yarn for the mouth.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Round Comic Safety Eye. Buy them HERE.
– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing
– Tapestry Needle

Abbreviations:
B = Blue
G = Green
SC  = Single Crochet
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease

Finished Size of flat Earth = approx 7 x 7 inches

You could also use this pattern as an appliqué, decor item, trivet, coaster, potholder, and more!

TIP: Carry your yarn. For instance, when you switch to green, carry the blue strand so you are crocheting over the blue yarn strand while crocheting the stitches for that row. It makes switching colors easier and you won’t be left with a lot of ends to weave in.

Don’t fasten off. Let’s talk for a minute 🙂

Your piece should look like the picture below. Kind of an octagon shape. To make it round, you will SC LOOSELY along the 4 diagonal edges and SC TIGHTLY on the top, bottom, and right and left hand side edges. I went ahead and switched colors along my edge to match the green and blue land and water parts. You can do this or just SC around in one consistent color. See pictures below.

Now you need to make one more round crocheted piece for the backside. Feel free to use the same land/sea pattern above or just make a plain circle as I did below.

Row 2: 2 SC in first, SC in next 6, 2 SC in last, chain 1, turn (10 SC)
Row 3: 2 SC in first, SC in next 8, 2 SC in last, chain 1, turn (12 SC)

Row 8: 2 SC in first, SC in next 18, 2 SC in last, chain 1, turn (22 SC)

Row 15: SC Decrease, SC in next 18, SC decrease, chain 1, turn (20 SC)
Row 16: SC Decrease, SC in next 16, SC decrease, chain 1, turn(18 SC)

Row 21: SC Decrease, SC in next 6, SC decrease, chain 1, turn (8 SC)
Row 22: SC Decrease, SC in next 4, SC decrease, chain 1, continue to SC around the edge (6 SC)
Fasten off and weave in ends.

At this point you want to make sure all your ends are woven in on both pieces and then add your comic safety eyes and stitch on a smile to the front piece.
Globie5

Stitch the two pieces together. Work tapestry needle under the tops of the SC stitches along the eyes and weave needle back and forth.

Globie6

Before closing, stuff with polyfil!

Globie8

Now let’s make the arms and legs
Globie10

Arms & Legs Pattern:

Chain 5, SC in in second chain from hook and in next two, make 2 SC in last chain,
now working on other side of chain, SC in each stitch. You should have 9 SC stitches all together.
Don’t join. Continue to SC in rounds.
I made a total of 7 rounds for the arms and 10 rounds for the legs. Feel free to make them as long or short as you like.
Stuff the arms and legs lightly with poly-fil and stitch the arms and legs on Globie’s head!
Globie11
Tiny Crochet Heart Pattern:
With Size H hook and red yarn:
Chain 5, SC in second chain from hook and in the last 3 chains, chain 1, turn
Row 2: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn
Row 3: SC in first two, chain 1, turn
Row 4: SC in both stitches, continue to SC around entire heart. When you get to bottom stitch (the one with the your slip knot) SC + Chain 1 + SC all in one stitch. Then when you get to the top “v” indent, slip stitch (instead of SC). Join, fasten off and leave a long tail to stitch the heart onto the hand.

 Happy Earth Day!

    I must be either too tight or too loose with my stitches. I see the blue behind the green on your photos but not green behind blue. Are you only carrying the blue or just really good at hiding the green? Lol
    Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this pattern. I love it! I have just finished the front and it’s adorable. I’m making it for my sister in law and I will sneak it onto her book shelf and see how long it takes her to notice him. Not long, I bet, he’s so cute!
