THANK YOU!

This little orange guy is cute! My 6 year old son will probably want some of these done up in every color possible!

How is the hair done?

Have a great day!

[anthrilliel]

Hi, i have the hair instructions up but if you want a mini photo tutorial then pm me with your address

[The Crochet Fanatic]

Sorry I didn't see the hair instructions, but I see them now. I think that I can do them without the tutorial, but if I get stuck I will PM you.

THANKS!

Have a great day!

[Ladycrochat]

What a Cutie! Thanks for the cool pattern!

[misssmaggie]

So cute!!! Thanks for sharing!

[Loralynn]

Okay, I'm gonna show how dumb I am...I can't see the hair instructions.

 

This little guy is darling and I would love to be able to make him with the hair....pleeeeeease...

See those 2 dots underneath Round 7? Those are the instructions for the hair. I don't think anybody can notice these instructions at first (or 23rd) glance!

 

If you still don't see the instructions, here they are:

 

(you may want to crochet the ‘hair’ at this point, I started at the 3rd line from top:

§ Ch2, dc on at the same space, 2 dc all the way around to form a circle, join with a sl st

§ Ch2 dc in next dc, *dc, tr cr, ch 4 and sl st on top of dc in space before 2dc cluster, dc* in space before the next cluster* repeat all the way around, join with a sl st and finish off[1]

[Loralynn]

Wow! Now I really feel silly!!

 

Thank you for pointing it out to me. I confess, I was looking for it in a different post... silly me!

 

I can't wait to make him, he is sooo cute! Now lets see...I just have to finish my baby RR, the pink dress for me, the halter for my daughter, the baby bonnet and booties for my niece...aww heck, I need another project anyways...now where did I put that yarn...

 

Thanks!

I am glad you all like him so much I did the hair instructions in purple so anyone can spot it easier

[WendyLee]

What a good idea!

This is my version of The Orange Guy. I was luck enough to test and this is what I came up with. Mine is hot pink and my dh told me he looks like Kool-Aid mans sidekick! I think it is so cute! (You really can't see the mouth but it is there.) Thank you for letting me test for you.

He is just adorable thankyou so much for the pattern

[clocke]

He looks relly cute i love the colours

[lisaluger50]

That is so cute Thankyou for posting the pattern

[MaryPat]

Wow. I belong to an organization where one of the men is nicknamed "Orange Man." He always wears bright orange shirts -- I think it's a variation of OCD. He's just learning social skills and he has a tendency to overdue the welcoming kiss and hug. Hence all the women just call him "Orange Man."

[anthrilliel]

Thank you both of you Mary Pat thanks for sharing the story although I must admit that my guy is the orange guy in lack of inspiration at that time :lol
