Project: crocheted D20 plushie

Introduction:

I've been learning how to crochet, as mentioned before. Once I got the basic stitches down I figured it was time to learn how to make shapes.

I took one look at the first triangle I made, then promptly decided to make 19 more. The result was a D20 plushie: a worthy addition to my partner's novelty dice collection.

The project:

I followed this Happily Hooked Crochet Magazine tutorial to learn how to crochet triangles. There are multiple ways to make triangles, but I'm still learning so I wanted to keep it simple.

Once I'd made 20 of them, I embroidered a number ranging from 1 to 20 on each of them using the backstitch.

[ID: four red crochet triangles lying on a black surface. One of the triangles is blank. The other three have the numbers 20, 19, and 18 embroidered on them with a backstitch in yellow yarn.]

A D20 is an isocahedron. If you make one out of fabric and stuff it, it will turn into a ball. That's fine if that's what your project needs of course, but I wanted mine to look a bit more pointy.

After a bit of Googling, I found Ravelry-user Highresmess's take on the D20. They had used felt to shape their dice. I decided to follow their example.

I cut out 20 felt triangles that were slightly smaller than my crocheted triangles, then basted them onto the backs of my crocheted ones.

[ID: a red crocheted triangle lying on a black background. A slightly smaller red triangle made of felt has been basted onto the crocheted triangle with a matching red thread.]

I then started attaching my triangles to each other with a single crochet join, following this D20 3D model by Armor and Rum as a reference which uses the classic Chessex D20 number placement.

I picked the single crochet join because I wanted a ridge along the sides of my triangle to break up the inevitable roundness of the plushie.

[ID: five red crocheted triangles have been joined with a single crochet join. They each have a yellow number embroidered onto them: 2, 20, 8, 10, and 12.]

[ID: five red crocheted triangles have been joined with a single crochet join. A red felt triangle has been basted to the back of each of them.]

I kept attaching my pieces until I had one big flat shape consisting of 20 triangles.

[ID: 20 red crocheted triangles have been attached to each other with a single crochet join. Yellow numbers ranging from 1 to 20 have been embroidered on each of them with a backstitch.]

I then continued joining the leftover triangle edges, slowly building the 3D shape of my isocahedron.

[ID: 20 red crocheted triangles have been attached to each other with a single crochet join, forming part of an isocahedron. Yellow numbers ranging from 1 to 20 have been embroidered on each of them with a backstitch.]

I left the two final flaps of my plushie open, then proceeded to stuff it with light-weight scraps of fabric and yarn cut into small pieces.

[ID: a red crocheted isocahedron lying on top of white floral bedsheets. Each triangle has a yellow number embroidered on it in backstitch, ranging from 1 to 20. The two upper most triangles haven't been joined shut yet. Red felt triangles have been basted to the insides of each triangle.]

When using fabric scraps to stuff a plushie, the fabric weight of your scraps is a useful way to control the weight of your plushie. I used light-weight scraps because I wanted my dice to be light, but you could also experiment with heavier scraps if you're making a pressure-based stimtoy or something.

I also made sure to cut my scraps into small pieces because larger scraps can make a plushie feel lumpy.

[ID: a red crocheted isocahedron lying on top of white floral bedsheets. The two upper most triangles haven't been joined shut yet. The plushie has been stuffed with a variety of small fabric and yarn scraps.]

I then closed up my plushie and weaved in any remaining loose ends. The resulting plushie is pretty round, but has some shaping to it thanks to the felt and the raised ridges.

[ID: a hand holding a large crocheted plushie of a red 20-sided die with yellow numbers. The top-facing number is 20.]

The die rolls pretty well. I wouldn't exactly call it balanced, but technically it could be used to play with.

Conclusion:

I really enjoyed this project. I learned how to make triangles and how to use the single crochet join, and I got a cool gift for my partner out of it. I also learned how to use the grid-like structure of the single crochet stitch as a canvas for embroidery, which opens up a lot of fun options for future projects.

Most of the things I make have some practical use, like clothes or utility items. It was nice to make something silly for once. I ought to do more projects like these.

A light week for y’all this week, taking a look at novelty dice. First up, the Gelatinous D6, by Severed Books. This was an easily sell for me. Gelatinous cubes are in the upper echelon of classic D&D monsters and the notion of using one as a template for a six-sided die is so brilliant I am shocked no one thought of it sooner. The red skulls and detritus looks sharp as all get out on the slime green. One downside? Not super easy to roll! It is possible, but definitely pushing it on the usability scale, especially since I don’t really want to roll it on bare table. But that’s OK, this is a 100% a shelf object for me.

"...and I mean, they say there's this whole 'destiny' thing that I'm supposed to follow, but, like, the gods couldn't be bothered to write down even the tiniest bit of instructions!?

Nobody knows what it is I'm supposed to be doing at all! It just feels like I have no one that I can talk to about this stuff, and it's just super-frustrating! It's just like, no one cares about me as an actual person; Y'know what I mean, Pog?"

"SPOT OF TEA, FRIEND?"

"...You're not even listening, are you?"

(Trying out some of the Hero Forge duo minis options and seeing if I can match some of the poses and gestures to the backstory scene I'm writing. Got hooked into finishing it and have definitely stayed up way too late tinkering with it)

there are so many things i didn't get to do during my initial playthrough of disco elysium that I'm so so excited to try and do in my next one I am positively giddy

like i can't think of a single other game where even after finding out what all of these tasks are my sheer desire to replay the game has not diminished even a tiny bit in fact it might be stronger?? what a feat honestly

good afternoon I have two (three if you check tags) insane disco elysium rarepairs that don’t make sense at all with no information than these two screenshots for your consideration.

One of the best parts about working at a sex shop is the employee discount, and yeah that means excellent deals on sex supplies but that's not the big brain part.

You come to my house. Something is cooking in the kitchen- it smells wonderful. What is it? It's novelty dick-shaped pasta. I've set up a sensual sexy Italian dinner. There are candles set up on the table. They're melting too fast, dripping everywhere- they're low temp waxplay pillar candles. For dessert, I serve you a delicious ice cream topped in penis-shaped rainbow confetti sprinkles and strawberry body paint drizzle, and afterwards, serve coffee with roasted hazelnut warming lube.

We play a board game while we drink. It's sexy monopoly. It's your turn. You roll the dice. They come up as 'whisper into' and 'butt'. I lost the original dice. We're using the sexy dice. You move four spaces.

After dinner, I run you a bath. A bubble bath. The bubble gel? Sensual ocean breeze. There are candles lined up around the tub. The scent is overpowering. Why? They're three-in-one fruit flavored massage oil candles. I'm using so much. It's so wasteful. Do you want to shave? I have conditioning shave cream that smells like limes. And an electric body razor, but you can't use that in the tub.

How about a bath bomb? You toss one in. It's cherry blossom scented. As it dissolves, three sexy bath sex suggestion cards fall out. They're all variations on doggy style, probably because fucking in a bathtub is probably the easiest way to break your hip.

The water cools. You get out an dry off with a novelty towel. If you wrap it around your chest, it looks like you have gigantic tatas bursting through the fabric like the Hulk.

You walk into the bedroom. I'm there, reading an instructional book titled "The Housewife's Guide To Every Day Stripping". I'm wearing a neck pillow designed to look like a massive curved weiner. Also a pair of fake leather bondage leggings and an oversized men's christmas T-shirt that says "Jingle My Bells" across the front.

I see you come in. I put down the book, take off the pillow. Offer you a massage. You accept. I already burned up all the massage candles so I pop a new bottle of CBD massage oil that says something wrong about Chakras on it. It's very gritty. That's because there's little chunks of amethyst in it for some fucking reason. It's fine, though. You say you don't mind.

I don't do massages very often. It's bad. You end up more tense than before. One of your muscles starts to cramp- it's okay. I whip out a bottle of Lidocane topical masculine performance numbing spray. You immediately feel like your shoulder went to the dentist. It's not ideal, but it's better than cramping.

You're not in the mood to bone after that. Which is good, cause I'm actually pretty asexual, but it hasn't come up yet so I'm relieved to avoid the conversation. Instead we get ready for bed. (The weather is terrible, and I insist you stay over.) I set up the futon, then realize it smells like cigarettes from the previous owner and shyly ask if you wanna cuddle in my room. You're down.

I crawl under the covers, placing my penis-shaped pink glitter pride bottle on the side table in case one of us wakes up thirsty. Once you're settled in, I turn off the glowing bare ass night light and the room goes black.

It takes a few seconds for your eyes to adjust, but when they do, you look up at the ceiling. It's dotted all over with little green flourescent lights. Are they plastic stars? No. I've pinned up a thousand glow in the dark condoms. God bless

This ridiculous thing was the centerpiece of a holiday gift package Wizards of the Coast sent out in 2020 — a metal 20-sided die encrusted with red Swarovski crystals. I honestly didn’t know what to make of it then, and a couple years later, it is still a source of puzzlement. It’s pretty! It sparkles nicely in real life. But I mostly just keep it in the little bag it came in, lest something happen to it. Which also seems silly. What is the point of a die if not to roll it?
