Slime Amigurumi (Maple Story)

Please read this before continuing or starting a new project.  Thanks.

If you are not familiar with Nexon's popular MMORPG, MapleStory, you should go check it out! I began playing MapleStory in September 2007, while I was on bedrest during my second pregnancy. I no longer play MapleStory (mostly because neither of us have time to), but it still holds a special place in my heart. This cute little guy, the slime, is one of the first low-level enemies that you encounter in MapleStory and is one of their iconic mascots. Check out their website, and you'll see them all over the place. I decided to make one just for fun, and I wanted to share the pattern with any other closet MS fans that aren't 12-year-old kids. This pattern has not been tested, so if you find any mistakes, please let me know in the comments. Enjoy!

Please do not sell this pattern or sell products made from this pattern. Thanks!

With yellow, ch 18 and F/O. Attach the ball to one side of the ch, and attach the other side of the ch to the top of the point of the body. (NOTE: You can use black yarn instead of yellow for the chain. Yellow is used in the concept art, but it appears black in the pixellated version on the game. So, your choice.)

FINISHING
Using black and yellow felt, create the eyes and glue to the body. Embroider a smile with black yarn.
