What do you get when you put these 7 little pieces of crochet together?
Any guesses??????
They aren't usually blue, but sometimes they are.
Ta Da!
I figured out the pattern for this guy a few days ago because I needed blue lobsters to go with my latest doll - a New England fisherman.

Sorry...I guess I gave away some of the surprise. I was just so excited to post a comment.

Thanks PooToo! It took me a bit of "trial and error" (with lots of error!) to figure out a system of parts to come up with an acceptable assembled lobster. :-)

Hair Claudine??? My lobster may have a bit of fuzz but he doesn't exactly have hair. Perhaps you are talking about the fisherman? If so, THANKS. I'll get photos of the fisherman posted as soon as I can get Mike to go to the docks to do a photo shoot.

Thanks Michelle!!! You can make one for Jonah, except they are pretty little (palm of the hand size) so maybe he'd have a blue lobster dinner... :-).

Thanks Gédane. I love your blog! Very beautiful projects and photos.

They're so realistic, I'm already boiling the water and getting out the butter!
But they're also so cute, I would probably set those lucky lobsters free :)
Beautifully made and beautifully photographed too!

Ha ha ha! Thanks Howie. Re: my lobsters being realistic: I was trying to go for the essence of real lobsters, but I tried to "boil them down" (to use lobster speak) to just the key details. Take care Howie.

I love these little guys!

Thank you very much, I've been looking for a tiny realistic lobster pattern for ages and yours is perfect. I especially love the fact that it's blue, because all the toy lobsters I usually see are red. :)

Oh my goodness, my little lobster turned out SO CUTE! I added antennae and did a little extra sewing to smooth out the claws a bit, and also used a few stitches to secure the legs and claw arms because I didn't want to risk accidentally pulling them out.
And it was nice and simple to crochet, even for a novice like me (I've knitted since I was 7 or 8, but only learned to crochet last year). Thank you again!

Hi Silverleaf. I'm so glad your little lobster turned out well. I would LOVE TO SEE HIM. Feel free to send me a photo. There is also a Ravelry group where you can add a photo of your lobster. You can find it here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/little-blue-lobster/people
You have to be a member of Ravelry to post photos, but if you're not a member, you should join (it's free!). Take care and thanks for letting me know that you liked the pattern.
