I made DIY clothes for my Squishmallows!

- Hello and welcome back
my beautiful foggy army

to another video and
welcome back to another.

Raven is board and wants to do a craft.

So here we are, crocheting video.

It's my favorite type of
video to do, you know,

but hello and welcome back.

Today I was looking around
my room looking at all my

plushies and squish melow,

and I kind of had the
feeling that they look kind

of Nike like, don't you think
Miss Zo here needs some sort

of cute little outfit?

I think that they need some clothes.

So today, with the power
of crafting and a yarn

and a hook, I wanted to make
some squish melow clothes.

And we're gonna make a
super simple raincoat

for our squish melow.

And this will be kind of like
a, not really tutorial ish,

but like more of a guide.

And I will have a
written pattern for this.

If you wanna make a raincoat
for your squish marshmallows,

this is gonna be for a
five inch squish melow.

And it can be for sallows
with arms or limbs

or without whatever
you'll wanna put it on.

So for this project, if
you wanna make your own,

you're gonna need some thicker yarn.

And I'm gonna put the exact
weight of yarn right here

'cause I can't remember
it off the top of my head.

But you're gonna wanna
use this weight of yarn.

Look for this on the label.

I'm using this just chail
yarn from the Dollar Tree.

I find this at the Dollar
Tree, if you want to go look

for it for a dollar 25, it's not too bad.

And then I am using a size J hook

or a six millimeter hook.

Then the only other supplies

that I'm using are a yarn needle.

It's good if you have a bigger
one for this fluffy yarn

and a pair of scissors.

And then as a bonus, if
you wanna add some buttons,

I'll be adding some buttons to mine just

to give it a little finishing touch.

If you want to add some little
teensy tiny buttons onto this

raincoat, then feel free.

But anyways, I think let's get
on to the actual crocheting.

Let's get into this and let's get started

with our SCORM Miller clothes.

Okay, so we're gonna start off

by single crocheting six
into either a chain four

loop or a magic ring.

I'm using a magic ring.
There we go. There's my six.

And what is also very helpful

for these very fluffy
stitches are stitch markers.

And I highly, highly
recommend using one of those.

If you have a Joanne's near you,

I don't know if it's the same for you,

but I got an email today
that they're going to like up

to 80% off on all of their
like liquidation, markdowns.

I don't know, I'm tempted to go check.

Maybe there's still some good stuff left.

It makes me so sad that
they're closing, honestly.

Like Joanne's was it?
You know what I mean?

That's where I would always go.

It's just, I know I've talked
about this in other craft

videos, but now that it's hitting
like 80%, it just makes it

so much more real.

Love my yarn falling off
the desk too. That's great.

I don't know if I've ever told
this very random story today,

but we have some plans
on Friday night to go out

and get sushi at a
little sushi restaurant.

And I'm very excited about it.

But for my like 18th birthday

or 19th, I don't remember, I went

to this like one of
those, what's it called?

Conveyor belt sushi places.

And I had the most
amazing sushi roll there

that had a little thin slice

of strawberry on top and it was so good.

It was kind of like a sweeter roll.

I have only been able to find
it at that one random place

that I went to for my birthday

and I haven't been able to find it since.

So when we go to our sushi
dinner, I'm gonna, once again,

as always, as I always do, look

for my strawberry sushi roll.

But I don't know, is
that like a common thing?

Is that like a super rare like
pull, like sushi roll pull

that I found on my 19th birthday?

Have you guys ever had
sushi with strawberry on it?

I've had sushi with a mango on
it too, so I don't think it's

that uncommon to put fruit on sushi.

And I love fruit on everything.

Like I love pineapple on burgers,
I love pineapple on pizza,

all of that kind of good stuff.

But just curious if you
guys have ever eaten

anything like that before.

But basically right now
we're just doing a circle

and we're just increasing
until we hit 36 stitches.

So that's pretty much what we're up to.

Okay, so after six rounds

and having 36 stitches around,

we should have a little circle that

looks something like this.

So now instead of continuing to go round

and round in a spiral, I'm
gonna actually chain one

and we're gonna go back the way we came

and we're gonna crochet
almost all the way around

and leave some stitches unworked.

So that's what we're gonna do next.

So normally I would put
my hook in, let me just do

that really quick and I would tighten it.

Normally I would keep
going around this way,

but we're gonna chain one
and we're gonna turn it,

and then we are going
to crochet 28 stitches.

So you should have eight stitches

that you're not gonna work on.

So let me finish that super quick

and then I'll show you
what that looks like.

So here's what that looks like.

Again, we started here, we
changed one, we went back,

and then we went around and
then I ended off right here.

So I have eight unworked stitches

and we're gonna ignore
those for the time being.

And now we're just gonna
do a bunch of rounds

where we do that same thing.

I'm gonna chain one over here, turn,

and we'll work back the other way,

chain one turn work back this way.

So we're kind of working in
a rainbow shape a little bit,

and that's what's gonna like
make the hood part of it.

So I'll do a couple rounds

and I'll check back in once I have a kind

of better looking piece in this.

This looks like nothing right now.

All right, so after a
couple rounds, here's

what it's looking like.

If you can kind of see the vision,

this is gonna be the hood,
this will be the bottom

and all that good stuff.

So right now we are
basically just gonna do

a increase row.

I'm gonna go ahead and single crochet six

and then increase all the way around.

Still only doing that like half.

You know these, these stitches,

we're still leaving these
eight ones Unworked,

leave them alone.

Your cats ever make like the
most weird noises when they're

licking themselves and cleaning
themselves peppers on the

floor by me.

And he just made the weirdest sound I've

ever heard him make.

And I turn around, he's
just licking his belly.

I'm like, sir, what are you,

what are you doing to your belly?

Like, are you okay? Okay, here we are

after the increase row.

So now I have 32 stitches that
I'm working on across here,

and then plus the eight
unworked ones here.

So now it's just a whole
bunch of rows of 32 going back

and forth, back and forth,
back and forth to make the hood

because we want that hood to be big enough

to cover the head.

And I made sure to make it big
enough just in case they have

ears or horns or both or whatever,
that they will fit there.

Okay, so I finished up

and now it's starting to look
more like a little hoodie,

like a little raincoat hood.

So now we are actually gonna
be doing something about

this bottom part here.

So we've got the unworked stitches.

Now we've got these side
pieces where, you know,

we've been going back and
forth and back and forth.

So now I'm gonna chain one

and I'm gonna actually work
across these stitches here

and then get to the
eight unworked stitches

and then work across here.

So first we're just gonna clean
up this edge on the bottom,

and then we're going to make the actual

like coat part of it.

So we're just gonna be
working down from now.

So I'm gonna chain one, and
then across this edge here,

before we get to those eight stitches,

I'm just gonna put in 10 stitches.

I am really bad at like
putting in stitches evenly.

Like there's so many patterns

where it's like work
10 stitches, you know,

across this section evenly.

I'm like, I can't do that evenly.

I don't know, I just try my best.

As long as there's 10 stitches
in there, it's, it's fine.

Okay, so there's the 10,

and then now we're here at
the eight unworked stitches.

So obviously we're just
gonna do eight there.

Okay, that is done.

And don't worry if this isn't
like super straight across,

it'll all even out.

Like don't worry about that.

So now we're just gonna do 10 more on this

little side right here.

Okay, so now I'm at the end

and I'm actually going to slip stitch into

that closest single crochet,
you know, from the last round.

And now we have the
slip stitch on our hook,

and now we kind of have to
make this like all one piece,

kinda have to make it connected
and all of that good stuff.

So I'm gonna put this camera down

so you can actually see what I'm doing.

But I'm gonna go ahead and chain 12.

We're gonna take these 12 stitches

and we're gonna reach around to this side,

and then we're gonna work on this side.

So we're gonna connect with this chain 12.

Okay, so reaching around,
I'm gonna slip stitch into

that first out

of the 10 single crochets
we did along the side.

And then there we go. It's
connected. So there we go.

It's all connected. And now we're gonna be

working on the body.

So we're gonna go ahead
and we're gonna chain two.

This is gonna count as a double crochet

and we're just gonna work around.

And then if you do want arm
holes, follow this next step.

And if you don't, you can just skip it

and you just double crochet
all the way around this row.

So we have our chain two

and we're going to double
crochet in the next stitch.

And then chain four, and this
is gonna be the arm hole.

And then count four
stitches. So 1, 2, 3, 4.

And then in the fifth stitch

after those four, double crochet.

So we're skipping a bunch

and we're just making like a
little arm hole pretty much.

If you have a squish
and all that has arms.

Now we're gonna double crochet
in the next 16 stitches.

So after you did that chain four,

there should be 17 total stitches

before we make the next arm hole.

And the awesome thing
about this raincoat is

that it doesn't specifically
have to be a raincoat.

I just have this really cute yellow yarn

that I thought would
work really well for it.

But you can literally use
whatever color you want

and it can just be like a little hoodie

or just clothes, whatever
item of clothing you know,

or just anything at all
that you wanna make it.

I was also thinking it
would be super cute,

and maybe I'll make like
some add-on patterns for this

or something in the future,

but if you can crochet some animal ears

and you could put the
animal ears on the hoodie

and make it like a little bunny
hood or a little cat hoodie

or something like that, I think
that would be so, so sweet.

All right, I got my 17 stitches.

Now we're gonna make another arm hole just

by doing the chain four, skip four,

and then you'll have
two stitches on the end

that you double crochet
in, just like that again.

So now we have reached the chain.

So what we're gonna do here is
we're just gonna keep double

crocheting and we're just gonna
double crochet one in each

of those chains, and then
just make it a full circle.

I don't know how else to
describe it. Hi peachy.

Welcome back. You know when
your cat just like puts all

their body weight in their paws

and then just steps on your
belly and then it just hurts.

That's what she loves to do.

Oh, that's Peachy's favorite activity.

And now she's just sitting
on my chairs arm. Rest.

You like it there?
That's your little perch.

She just loves to sit there.
I don't know what it is.

You don't wanna sit on my left? Peachy.

Well, you have a little eye crusty.

Oh my goodness, my peachy.

I don't know if she's just sitting here

because she's just vibing right now.

Or if she sees my blanket,
which is on the floor right

below her and she's like, hello, hello.

Where's the blanket for me?

So maybe I'll pick up the
blanket and see what she thinks.

I got this blanket at five
below. It's super cute.

I love their little blankets.

They're kind of, you know, thin,

but they do have some cute designs.

Okay, peach, is this what you wanted?

Is this what you wanted? Oh, yep, yep.

Anyways, I'm at the end now

and we are going to be
slip stitching to the top

of the chain two, and that
does count as a stitch.

So that's what we're gonna do.

And now you should have,
if you're recreating this,

this little hoodie and
we've got two arm holes.

And again, if you don't want to do those,

just don't even do all of that.

Just do double crochets
the whole way around.

And yeah, there's our little hood.

So now is the easiest part

where we just do three
more rounds of chain,

two double crochet all the way
around, and then we're done.

And then we just weave in our two ends.

Okay? So after weaving in the ends

and adding our buttons here is
the finished little raincoat.

I know it doesn't look like much,

but we've got the little
hoodie, we've got arm holes,

and when we put it on a squish melow,

it'll look much better.

Here is our finished
raincoat looking so, so cute.

I love it. I love it so much.

And if you want to, you could
even add an extra row on the

bottom here up to you.

This was super fun to
make, very easy to make

and used up some of my yarn.

So I think it was the perfect
afternoon craft project.

And I may or may not have an
entire army of squish metals

and raincoats now, but I
think this is a good thing.

And if you do make one of these yourself,

please do tag me on a
picture on social media.

I would love to see it.

But thank you so much

for spending the afternoon
with me crafting.

It was so much fun. And thank
you for watching this video.

Thank you so much again for watching,

and I will see you in the next one.
