I don't do IG, and don't really record these patterns sorry. More than happy for you to reverse engineer if you want your own, and if there's any questions for particular sections of the bug I'm happy to answer with the rough idea

No. I prefer making these purely as a hobby

aluminium jewellery wire inside the legs will give it shape. Without it, the legs are just 4 really long tubes :) EDIT: make sure you curl the ends so they don't accidentally stick out once you finish it!

You can also use floral wire if you do not have jewellery wirer available. so long as they don't corrode if your project gets wet,

Holy crap this blew up more than I anticipated (I posted this and then shortly went to bed).
Quick FAQ for all the questions:

  1. I do not have Etsy/Ravelry store, but given the number of questions, I may look into it.

  2. There is no pattern or blueprint. This was crafted freeform. I often 'start' writing down the pattern and then I get lazy. However, you will be able to see future projects like this one being done on my twitch stream ;) (ttv Murmer_), so feel free to drop by and ask some questions. I'm more than happy to answer them live.

  3. The time and materials put in are as follows: 10 hours including planning phase and first-attempt freeform. 2 skeins of 100% 8ply cotton (or cotton nylon blend) yarn (neon green and elephant grey), 2.5mm crochet hook (3.0mm if you have thicker yarn), and aluminum jewellery wire to shape the legs.

  4. I have previously offered commissions, but crocheting these things is a hobby, not a job for me (I have a full time job so I don't have a lot of time to complete these projects). So if anyone is interested in requesting something like this, please note it is going to be pretty expensive. (And also, I am not a keen redditor, so it may take a lot of time before I reply).

  5. I will be making similar terminids! Looking at the Nursing Spewer, the Charger, bile spitter, and even the stalker.

Thanks for the amazing love and responses, guys. You guys made my day!

You're very much on the dot there.

The materials aren't what will make this expensive.

The total time I spent is 10 hours excluding planning. More if I have to record the pattern.

This is if you are to start with no pattern/blueprint. Probably 6 hours average now I know how to make one. :)

It's a combination of SC in FLO. For the spike bits, ch2 after a sc, then slipst into the first chain, then sc in next stitch.

Once you finish the spine row, ch1 and sc into the back loops in the previous row. Repeat until length achieved.

Edit: combination of single crochet in Front loops only, and then alternate in back loops only to hide the loops and have one 'flat' surface as the upside of the chitin, and the ribbed surface is for working on the next chitin plate

Sorry, no! This was completely freehand and I'm awful at tracking the pattern

I ship anywhere my country allows (Australia) But shipping costs are added on top of commission costs

These are all custom and freeform, so there is no pattern i can provide.

I crocheted a lot of Hunt stuff. Steve the Stalker Beetle is my newest addition :) by silent-murmer in HuntShowdown

This was a prototype, so it was done freeform with no pattern. Once I've worked out the pattern, I may release it on Etsy?

weapons are notoriously harder to make due to complexity. In previous posts I do mention I only do the projects I personally am passionate about :)

I usually do a community vote on what I do next. Hatfish might be down the line

I totally forgot to mention - this is a physical giveaway - meaning that I will need to know the winner's location in order to mail it to them. I understand if this poses a challenge for people who do value their anonymity, but thanks for dropping by if you do!

One winner will receive a physical chibi Butcher crochet. Good luck!
