-weave your tail into the middle of the bow, use your tail to wrap around the middle and sew into the hamster below the right ear.
Eye details:
Insert your yarn needle with some white yarn into a random stitch, bring up the yarn on one side of the eye and insert your needle on the opposite side of the eye. Bring the needle back to where you first inserted your yarn and tie ends together. hide ends in your project.
HAPPY CROCHETING!

I WANTED TO MAKE ONE OF THESE LIKE A MONTH AGO BUT I DIDNT FIND ANY TUTORIAL. TODAY I DECIDED TO RECHECK YT MAYBE SOMEONE LEGEND MADE A TUTORIAL AND I GLADLY FOUND ONEEEEEEEE YUPPPIIEEEEEEEEE. I AM FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE A CROCHET FOR MY CRUSH WHO LOVES THIS HAMSTER SO MUCH. WISH ME LUCK!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Your comment made me smile so much 🥰 Your crush will love this! ❤
"Sew his booty close", amazing way to put it lol. Thank you so much for this pattern, my friend recently ordered one from me and no pattern was even close to being pretty, this saved my booty tysm
Hahahaha thanks! 💖 You’re most welcome 🫶🏼
made it and it turned out great!!! tysm tysm all my friends love it🤞🤞❤️
Omg I love that!
I just made this sad hamster and she turned out so cute!!. You're super easy to follow. I can't wait for more tutorials from you.
Thank you so much! I am so happy your hamster turned out good
this is the most perfect gift for my bestie
i am a beginner crocheter so i accidentally was marking the last stitch of the round rather than the first of the next, which led me to miss a couple stitches thinking i actually missed some before when i didn’t.
this meant that the back legs were sticking up at the side 😂 rather than looking sad he looked a little joyous and whimsy
i made another in like 20 minutes and it looks perfect now because this video made me realise what i did wrong! super happy with the sad hammer
Literally cam here after watching your reel of 20 orders
Welcome!🥰
sameeeee
Just made this for my Sister and it came out perfectly! Thank you!
I'm so glad it came out perfect! Hope your sister loves it
Thanks for the tutorial! Also I love ur narration and keeping it engaging :))
Thank you so much!!🥰
i made this today!!! SOOO CUTE i literally cant get over it 😭❤️
Omggg I’m so excited! So happy you like it 🥰
Amazing pattern and great tutorial! ❤ my girlie turned out the cutest 🥺
Thank you so much. My kids will absolutly love their hamsters. ❤😊
You're very welcome! I hope they do🥰
this is the best sad hamster tutorial I have seen, thank you!! They are amazing, now we can create a hamster army
Tysm you gave us a free video tutorial + written pattern too 😍 you're a sweetheart ❤ 🎀
This has got to be the cutest thing I've seen in a long time! I made it first try and am so happy with it. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤
This was a really cute, simple yet not in anyway boring project! Loved that you did the details via crocheting. I hate feet that have to be stitched on 😅. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Yess, I hate the sew on feet too, that's why I just had to make them no sew hehe :)
Thank you so much!!! My friend is gonna love his little hamster 🙈
Made two! Such a good tutorial! Thanks!
That’s a great tutorial. It’s my second toy and I’ve succeeded 🥰
I'm so glad to hear that!! Can't wait to see the finished result
thank you so much for this pattern 🥹 I’ve already made three 🐭🎀
I have ordered everything 😍 now i have to train the different crochet stitches, do you may have a tutorial for them😂
Ahh I love that! You got this! There are many very good tutorials on the stitches out there. 🥰
This is the cutest!! Can’t wait to make a hamster soon 💗
i have never crocheted before and i really want to make this for my bf T-T can i do it as a beginner?????
It's important to know the basic stitches first. If you look up tutorials for 'chain' 'single crochet' 'double crochet' 'increase' & 'decrease' you should be fine!
For the written pattern check out the description or my instagram (@handmadebypip)
Can you do a cow cuz my mom loves cows so much and i can't find i free one 😢
One Cent Crochet has a really cute free cow pattern/ tutorial! 🥰🥰
@@PipAlblasMusic Ok tysm
V.helpful!
It looks adorable ❤
You made it look so easy but when I'm trying it's curling I guess bcz of the colour I'm unable to see the stitches...
do you guys know what is it called to the thingy inside when you squeeze it and if makes the sound of the sad violin sound?
Why would anyone sell the pattern for this when u already giving the tutorial to make them for free
I personally sell the pattern on my Etsy for anyone who appreciates my work and wants to support me. Also, some people prefer a pdf file to use instead of a video tutorial/picture on insta. There's also other makers who made their own (different) pattern who are selling them. 😊
When I start I'm gonna start with that
If we don’t have Polly fill stuffing can we use cotton balls
I haven't tried that yet but I'm sure that could work! You can also use the stuffing of an old pillow :)
lovely tutorial 😍 how much yarn did you use for one?
Thanks love! I think about 15gr :)
So precious, tu
It was a good tutorial
Thank you!
I tried to make this for my girlfriend with zero experience and instantly gave up at 1:30 lol
Hiii, can I make this with a normal yarn? One that needs 2-3mm hook? Will it just turn out smaller? No other differences?
Hii! I haven't tried it but it should work! :)
@@PipAlblasMusic okk thank you
Hello! Sorry for bothering you but my hamster’s face is a bit pointy, do you know how to make it round like yours?
it could be because of tension but I'm not very good at crochet so maybe my guess I'd wrong 😅
@ thank you
Wait have I been putting on the backings of the eyes backwards this whole time?!😭😅 10:27
Haha or maybe I put them on backwards? I just feel like this is way sturdier! If I put them the other way around my eyes keep falling out..
@@PipAlblasMusic I’m gonna start doing it your way now 😅
What size are the eye buttons used here? Can someone tell me?
14mm
i'm so confused at row 6... for some reason there's not enough room in this row for all the stitches? row 5 is 21 stities around and when you count all the stitiches used for row 6 (2+1(for the front loop 3)+4+1(front lop)+5+4(BOB)+3+4(BOB)+3) you get 27 stitches used for that row...? help please lol. i've taken out this row twice already and tried to re do it but each time i don't have room
dude me too i’m so lost
@@pran_so_cool143 lmfao i restarted it over 5 times, reread the written instructions and watched it in the slowest playback cause i was sooooo confused like how is she fitting all those stitches in that rowwwww. i founded another tutorial but that one sucked i like this one better lol
@@potheadpeony yeaaa i literally just guess😭 i took out a few stitches from the part where you sc 5 and it worked out for me
i tried that but couldnt figure it out! lmk if u remember what u did lol @@pran_so_cool143
Heyy! Those 3Dc go into the front loop of 1 stitch and those 3DC stitches count as just one stitch because in the next round you wil SC into the back loop of stitch where you put the 3DC and skip those 3DC. They will form the ears so they need to stick out, that’s why we skip ‘em ♥️ Hopefully this clears things up!
hey so if i wanna make this with cotton yarn - smaller version - do i just have to adjust my hook size? will the pattern still work?
Yess, just adjust the hooksize! Size 1 or 2 sizes down from the recommended hooksize
@@PipAlblasMusic thanks!
Please can you help me?
I did everything what you did but somehow the good looking side of the Hamster is inside?
You know what i mean. The good looking stiches are not on the side where the eyes are. What can i do?
Do i have to turn the yarn after the first row?
Hi love! If that's the case you can try turning it inside out? I don't know how that could even happen but maybe that helps?
Does a size 5 yarn work?
Sure! If you make sure to adjust your hooksize accordingly 🙂
Thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH for this!!!!!!! I am doing them for birthday presents!!!!
can anyone let me know an estimate of how many hours do we need to make this? (as a beginner)
i am thinking of making this for my friend’s bday and it will be great help if anybody helps me out ❤
It takes me about 45 minutes to make if I take my time. If you're a complete beginner I'd first learn the basic stitches before you start this tutorial :)
is 100g of yarn enough for this?
Moore than enough! I'd say I use about 15gr :)
why was 5th row 21 sc but then on the 6th one you need 25??
The ears do not count, you crochet into the backloop, so not into the ears :)
I do t have a stich marker 🥲🥲🥲
You can use a bobby pin or a piece of scrap yarn as well!
Or a safety pin
My friend asked if I could make this but I don't have proper understanding of where to insert the needle and I understand it better in my own language, but there's no "sad hamster meme" crochet tutorial in my language
What is your language?
@@PotatoQueen131 Danish. Though whenever I begin making it, I'll ask my mother for help
Ohhh... Are you using a translator? If not, I'd say you speak pretty good English! ☺
@@PotatoQueen131 I'm actually not, but thank you! I've loved English for many years, but I have trouble understanding her description of crocheting and where to put the hook because of it being in English
i truly dont know what happened, after i put the stitches in the back loop of the ears, the ears dissapeared, so they were somewhat hidden from the next rows :") is it supposed to be this way??
Hi! ohh that is definitely not supposed to happen. You have to put the stitches of the ear in the front loop, not in the backloop. You have to leave the backloop untouched until the next round. That way the 3 stitches in the front loop will stand out :)
@@PipAlblasMusic ohh okay thank you, just to make sure though the short tail from the beginning of the magic circle should be inside the hamster right?
@@candyarts1109 Yesss, tail always on the inside :)
@@PipAlblasMusic thank youu! turns out i actually was flipping it inside out so the ear looked odd, fixed it now 🙏
@@candyarts1109 Awesome! Glad it worked out!
on the pattern what does boS mean?
Small bobble stitch (just 4 loops on hook instead of 5) but you could also just do 5 :)
@@PipAlblasMusic oh ok thanks
what size eyes?
14mm
I havent market my ear crochet :* how can i find it ? 😢
I find it ❤🎉
I'm so glad you found it!
What size is the hamster?
Lindo!!!!!! Obrigada!!
Mine came out awful😢
Ahh I'm so sorry! Did you have any crochet experience? Maybe it's better to start with the basic stitches or practice a bit more? You got this!
спасибо большое😭😭😭
You're welcome
