BT21 RJ Plush ♥ Crochet Pattern

When I crocheted my first BT21 plush never did I imagine that I would make all of the characters because I thought some of the characters would be too difficult. Now I'm finishing off the series with the final character, RJ.

"Kind and polite, the cutest while mumbling. Wears a parka because it gets cold easily."

Created by Jin. I wasn't too excited about making RJ because of his lumpy head and body. The head wasn't that difficult but his body... Let's just say it took a couple of tries before I could get the correct shape. Since RJ is a bit taller than the rest of the BT21 squad but that's how the cartoons look so I'm very happy with how he came out.

I hope you enjoy RJ and his friends. When I first started this series not that many knew of BT21 but now I think they're much more well known. I really enjoyed making this series because it meshed together two of my favorite things crochet and K-pop! Even if you don't crochet I hope you enjoyed looking at the plushies. I also have an extra BT21 post coming later this week which I think you guys will love especially if you're a fan of these characters and BTS.

Assembly
Time to sew everything together! I recently bought a slanted tapestry needle which helped me with sewing so I highly recommend you investing in one because it makes sewing crochet pieces a lot easier!

Sew RJ's body together by sewing his legs, arms, and tail to his body. Pin with sewing needles so that the body parts don't move as you sew. Sew the two pieces of RJ's face together to form his head and stuff. Finish by sewing RJ's ears to his head.

Look at a picture of RJ for reference. Cut out the face with black felt and light pink felt. With red felt cut out RJ's scarf. I wrapped the piece of red felt around RJ's body first and then cut of the shape of the scarf. Glue the piece and press lightly.

Complete! I hope you enjoy this crochet series because I know I had tons of fun making all the BT21 characters!
