Description
This little guy is approximately 7" tall. I kind of have an obsession with needle-felting eyes now
I think my old needle was worn or just sucked.. because the eyes were pretty quick when I used a brand new needle. Also, there is wire in his legs because I wanted him to be able to stand as well as sit, but that is entirely optional. Anyway, here is the pattern!**Please, please, please credit me for the pattern because it took me quite a while to convert my notes into something understandable! Also, let me know if you catch any mistakes or if you have any questions!

Just finally finished mine. I did the pieces years ago but never assembled it. I'm so happy with how it turned out! Thanks for the great pattern!

This is amazing! It's actually inspired me to learn how to crochet from scratch XD
I've been practicing for a while now and I've just made the head, but thought of a question that I'd love to hear back from anyone who's made this.
Are all pieces to this finished off by closing them, or are some left with open tops to sew together (eg, legs)?
The pattern says to finish off every section, and I guess you could happily do either that or mix it with some open-ended pieces, but I'd love to hear from someone more experience with this.

Or, alternatively, does literally every piece finish off without closing the hole at the end?

Hi hi! I'm a total nin-nog for forgetting to share my finished choco with you. (It's been a while).
I'm still not great at taking pictures, but here's my effort. Thanks so much for a clear, precise write up!

Okay so I love this pattern but...it seems my chocobos feet are too big for the body even though I'm positive I'm following the pattern to the letter. So....what am I doing wrong? My yarn for both the body and the feet are the same size, I'm using the same hook too. :/

This is super cute! I had a question about the pattern. On the head, when you say: 'sc around 7 times' do you mean sc 7 rows?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've followed this pattern a couple times and that's what I've done for each? So I'd assume that it's what they meant. Otherwise the chocobo would have a super flat head.

Hi! I finally finished mine and forgot to upload it. I wonder if this link work... Got to add some pics to my account here too. *blush* Thanks so much for the easy to understand pattern. Hope I did it justice. Didn't use any wire in the legs.

Hello, how many balls it takes? Thank you for your answer

I had problem with the chocobos wings. (15) there's too many stitches and it didn't come out right. Am I messing up somewhere?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
what part are you having issues at? I'm making this for my first time and I didn't have issues with stitch count. Are you doing the increases (aka the hcd + the regular stitch) within the same stitch?

I think I figured it out thanks

Thank you so much. I really love chocobo, so does my best friend. I make a chocobo to my best friend as a gift for her birthday. She loves it!!! I will share this pattern to the other people in Thailand too. And i will let them visit this page.

Thank you for this pattern ! I have offered it to my boyfriend for christmas and he was realy happy !
I'm just a little bite disappointed about the beak and I have not succeeded in the realisation of the cheeks. And it was really hard for the eyes too because I haven't roving wool ... But overall, even if it's not as beautiful as yours, I'm satisfied
(and yes, if you have notice I'm the same who have post a comment on your totoro pattern x) )

I still haven't got the equipment to try needle felting (cannot wait to tho!) so I ended up just using felt ~ (I first tried embroidering the eyes onto a base piece of felt but time was against me)
Thank you again!

I made this chocobo for a friend. It was my first attempt at felt eyes. I think they turned out alright.

I finally finished my own little chocobo!

Thank you so much for sharing this pattern. It was easy enough to follow, but my little guy still didn't turn out as wonderful as yours. I think it's mostly the eyes - it's only my second try at needlefelting, so hopefully I'll improve. Even if I probably won't try again with another chocobo. So many pieces...

I think you did a fabulous job at just your second attempt at needle felting! And yes, it is a lot of pieces..

Can't wait to make myself one, I just can't decide what color! Do you have any tutorials or resources on your needle felting? It's a really cool technique
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think deciding on the color is the hardest part 
As for needle felting, I don't know of any specific tutorials. I just searched "needle felting" on YouTube and watched a few videos to get the basic concept. I learned mostly from playing with it on my own.. breaking needles, sustaining injuries, and whatnot

Thanks for the tips, can I ask what the material you use is? Felt? Is it a loose bag of fiber? I'm not sure where to find it in the craft store haha
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The material I use is called roving wool. It's usually located right by the yarn section at craft stores (conveniently enough
