Adventure Time - Finn the Human, Jake the Dog Dolls

Adventure Time, come on join your friends! We'll go to very distant lands!

One of my favorite shows of all time, one of my favorite crochet patterns of all time. The original two you see here were made before the showed even aired on TV and sent to Pen Ward as a congrats/good luck gift. It's been a long road since then, and as the show slowly comes to an end I am proud to finally share Finn's pattern with everyone. Share it with every person who loves Adventure Time. Share it with people who crochet. Watch YouTube crochet tutorials (that's how I learned!) and make these yourself. I want to see an army of Finn and Jakes, and I want the love for this fandom to live forever.

This is a crochet pattern for Finn and his backpack. I have another Instructable with Jake/Cake's pattern, so look through my stuff! Lastly, if you like this please consider voting for it in the Soft Toys contest!

Special Instructions –

o Wherever you see “inc”, that stands for “increase” and means you should make TWO in the next stitch. They will be marked as sc, hdc, or dc inc depending on the stitch used.

o Wherever you see “dec”, that stands for “decrease” and means you should decrease over the next two stitches. They will be marked as sc, hdc, or dc dec depending on the stitch used. Any decreases over three or more stitches will be marked, and you can use invisible decreases pretty much anywhere (if you know how to do those.)
