Is that pea shooter from the Plants vs. Zombies game? It's very cute.

I love it. I've been playing this game for months. :D Great job. I will be making this in the future. :D

Ha HA! I never played this game but I could become hooked! Ha again - I said hooked and it was a crochet site that led me to the game! Okay - it's late and I'm tired... thanks for the pattern. G'Nite!

I'm a little confused with the large leaves. Is it basically a set of V shaped rows with the 5 dc groups lining up at one point?

i'm making the pea shooter for my brother, hell love it. just having problem with the leaves any pointers, would really appreciate some help!!! thanks

Aixa said...

I love this pattern! Thank you! I am having some problems with the leaves though, and wondered if anyone had any insight. I had the same question MCD did. When I drew out the pattern it looked like the 5dc groups did not actually line up? Any hints would be great!

I am having trouble with the leaves. Can you help?

LeSweets said...

I was very confused too, but then I just went with it and did what the directions said and it actually worked out just perfectly. I hope that helps. I was ripping my hair out before I actually went on with it :)

First of all, I love this pattern. I was newer to amis and this one was such an easy pattern and quickly a favorite of mine. I did want to alert you though that it seems someone is trying to use your pattern and sell it on etsy... You did the work and should get all the credit for it so I wanted you to know. http://www.etsy.com/listing/93546674/plants-vs-zombies-peashooter-amigurumi?ref=correlated_featured

If you follow the directions exactly for the leaves it comes out perfect. I was confused as well and just went with it. You see it start to form around row 4-5.
