(Belated) May pattern: Teal'c

Well, it finally made it. The May pattern is here. Because some people wouldn't put in any requests, pattern requests almost went down the drain. But thankfully I was saved at the last minute and worked really hard to get this pattern done, it's a little late but no biggie.
Now, this is a character from Stargate and, sadly, I've never seen Stargate. My parents are strict about tv and Stargate is one of those things that's still off limits. I'm stuck watching older classics like Star Trek and Macgyver, but that's ok because I like that kind of thing. Anyway, because of never having seen Stargate I apologize for any sloppiness or any details that aren't correct.
Now, you'll see this style of amigurumi quite a lot. Some of the most notable are Geek Central Station and Creepy Cute Crochet. It's not my favorite or my forte but it works well for humans. Let's get to the pattern!

Weave in all ends.


I made his armor out of clay but I know a lot of people don't really know what to do with it, so I made crochet armor too. It's not quite as cool but it's ok. This is what it looks like:

With silver yarn, Ch 35
Sc in first ch making a loop
Rnd 1-2: Sc around
Rnd 3: (sc 3, dec)
Rnd 4: {in front loop of st only} (sc 2, hdc 2, dc 2, dc inc, dc 3 in next st, dc inc, dc 2, hdc 2, sc 2) Repeat twice
Rnd 5: Sc around but sl st in any previous sc
Fasten off. This is the top breast plate thingy.


With silver, ch 7
Row 1-5: sc across, ch 1
Fasten off. This is the middle breast plate thingy.


With Silver, ch 32
Sc in first ch making a loop. 
Rnd 1: Sc 14, ch 4, skip last ch and sc in rest, skip 1 sc, sc in reast.
Fasten off. This makes the belt


With Silver, ch 2
Sc 5 into second ch, inc around
Fasten off. This makes the shoulder plates. Make two


And there ya have it. Simply sew the armor pieces to the body and make the face out of felt,beads, whatever. As always you guys are my best editors so let me know if you see a problem. Hope you enjoyed this. :)
