*dec – decrease 3 together {explained later}

Important notes !!
The pattern is worked in joined rounds, as it is not possible to create the
square/cuboid shape of BMO without it! At the end of each round, sl st into
the next st and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as the first st of the next
round. Continue to the next round in the same st that you just sl st into.

There are additional notes throughout the pattern. Please read everything
thoroughly before proceeding!

< Body >
Starting with blue yarn, we will be working from the top to the bottom of
the body. Remember to sl st and ch 1 at the end of each round!

NOTE: For this pattern only, the *inc consists of 3 sc in one st, instead of
the usual 2 sc. The (3 sc) inc will make up the corners of a square. Similarly,
for the *dec, you decrease 3 together.

R1: 4 sc in mr (4)
R2: 4 *inc (12)
R3: 1 sc, 1 *inc, (2 sc, 1 *inc) x3, 1 sc (20)
R4: 2 sc, 1 *inc, (4 sc, 1 *inc) x3, 2 sc (28)
R5: 3 sc, 1 *inc, (6 sc, 1 *inc) x3, 3 sc (36)
R6: 4 sc, 1 *inc, (8 sc, 1 *inc) x3, 4 sc (44)
R7: 5 sc, 1 *inc, (10 sc, 1 *inc) x3, 5 sc (52)

After R7, you should end up with a square base.

R8: In BLO, 52 sc (52)

R9-25: 52 sc (52) 17 rounds

Once you are done with R25, you will have a

cuboid for BMO’s body!

If you are using safety bead eyes, pause your

work now and move on to making BMO’s screen
face first. Sew the screen before adding the
eyes.

If you are not using bead eyes, you can proceed

with sewing the screen and button first before
finishing the body if that’s easier.

*See page 3-4 for screen pattern

*See page 6 for button pattern

R26: In BLO, 6 sc, 1 *dec, (10 sc, 1 *dec) x3, 4 sc (44)
R27: 5 sc, 1 *dec, (8 sc, 1 *dec) x3, 3 sc (36)
R28: 4 sc, 1 *dec, (6 sc, 1 *dec) x3, 2 sc (28)

Start stuffing your plushie fully! Don’t stuff too much, as we want to keep
the cuboid shape of BMO.

R29: 3 sc, 1 *dec, (4 sc, 1 *dec) x3, 1 sc (20)

R30: (2 sc, 1 *dec) x4 (12)
R31: 4 *dec (4)

Fasten off and sew close, then weave in the ends.

< Screen face >

Start with light blue.

We will be working in rows. At the end of each row, turn your work and
continue to the next row. Do not ch 1 at the end, as this makes the edges
of the screen appear neater and straighter.

I recommend inserting a stitch marker at the first st of the row if you find
it difficult to see where to insert your hook!

NOTE (this is just a suggestion, try to see what works best for you):
• I find that the screen face appears larger, and it would look too bulky
when sewn on. So, I recommend sizing down the hook size by 0.5 mm
for this part only (example: 3 mm). OR
• You can use a smaller sized yarn (5 ply) whilst keeping the same hook
size (3.5 mm), which is what I did.

R1: ch 11, starting from 2nd ch from hook, 10 sc (10)

R2-7: 10 sc (10) 6 rows

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

To sew the screen to the body (refer to the chart),
• Locate the two corner columns of sts highlighted in yellow.
• Leave the adjacent row/column of sts highlighted in purple free.
• Align the screen on the body. I made the ‘wrong side’ of the screen’s
last round to face up. Sew the screen on as indicated by the red
outline.
• I recommend using pins to pin down the screen, so you can sew it on
easily.
• The screen should span 10 sts horizontally, and 7 sts vertically on the
body.
• After sewing, insert eyes between R3 and R4 of the screen as
indicated by the crosses, about 4 sts apart.

 < Arms & legs >
The pattern is worked in a continuous round here.
Do not sl st and ch 1 at the end of each round.
In blue, make 2 arms (R1-6) and 2 legs (R1-7).
The arms have one less round of sc than the legs.

R1: 5 sc in mr (5)
R2-6/7: 5 sc (5) 5 rounds for arms,
6 rounds for legs

Sl st into the next st, fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. You don’t
need to stuff the arms and legs.

To sew the arms & legs,

• Locate (approximately) the three middle
columns at the side of BMO’s body.
• Hold the ends of the arm flat and sew the
row 8
arm between row 7-8 (I counted from
row 7
the bottom of the body).
• The width of the arm should span about
3 sts horizontally.
• Sew under the arm to the body as
row 1 indicated by the arrows, so that the arm
stays down.

• Locate (approximately) the middle of the

base as shown by the black line.
• Leave the two outer rounds of the base
free (R26-27).
• Hold the ends of the leg flat and sew the
legs down.
• The width of the legs should span about
3 sts.
outer sts
• Sew under the legs to the base as (R26-27)
indicated by the arrows to secure them.

Sl st into the next st and fasten off. Leave a long tail for sewing OR weave
in the end and just glue on later.

Assembling buttons and felt (refer to the charts)

Front Chart of front-facing BMO;
1. Embroider the plus button using yellow each square represents 1 st
chunky yarn. Alternatively, you can use
a thinner yarn, but just sew over a few
times to give it a bulkier effect. Or, cut
out the plus shape using yellow felt.

2. Sew or glue on the red button.

Tip: Sew the back loops only to the body
to maintain the circular shape of the
button.

3. Use blue felt for the small triangular

button, and green felt for the small
circular button. I double-layered the
felt here to give it a more 3D effect.
Glue these buttons on.

4. Cut out a long rectangular strip, a small

circle and two small rectangular strips
using black felt. Glue these on.

5. Use black felt for BMO’s smile, or just

embroider using black yarn.

 Sides
6. Use black felt and cut out block letters
of “BMO”. Cut out two sets and glue them
above the arms on both sides of the
body.

Tip: Cut out a template of the letters

using paper. Trace the letters on the felt
using the template, so you’ll have two
uniform sets.

Back
7. Cut out 5 strips of rectangles using black
felt. One strip should span about 3 sts
vertically on the body. Glue them at the
back of the body, evenly spaced out.

8. Cut out 4 thin strips of black felt to form

the rectangular box. The horizontal
strips should span about 12 sts, while the
vertical strips should span about 8 sts.

9. Cut out another strip of rectangle with

Alternative: You can sew
black felt. This should span about 4 sts the back details on using
horizontally.
