CROCHET PATTERN Robot shape sorter

Materials and tools for crocheting:

• 4-ply yarn* (amounts are approximate**):
  • main color (light blue) – 1 skein
  • milky color – 1 skein
  • orange – 1 skein
  • gray (for shapes) – 1 skein

* I used YarnArt Jeans (55% cotton + 45% Acrylic), 174 yards (160m), 1.76 ounces (50 g): Colors: grey (80), milky (03), orange (23), light blue(75). ** However, yarn consumption can increase up to 1.5 times when crocheting with yarn over (YO) way.

• Hook size 2 mm. Use a hook less than the yarn manufacturer’s recommendation.
• Black thread for eyes and mouth embroidery.
• Needle for sewing on details, scissors, thin needle for eyes embroidery, sewing pins. Stitch markers (optional)
• Polyester stuffing.
• Thin cord (rope) or soft tube with a diameter of 4 mm, for the edges on the sides of the robot’s body. The length is about 3-3.5 meters. (For example, I use a tube from an Infusion set, sold in pharmacies, about 3 pieces are needed for a robot). If you are crocheting less tightly or with a different yarn, you may need a different cord diameter. Watch the video where I show in detail the rope and tube from the Infusion set: https://youtu.be/-DMGO-CZIHo
