Someone on the Fortnite Girlie's Facebook Page said "I want the sprites as plushies, they are so cute!!" and I immediately grabbed a hook and got to work.
Any bulky (#6) yarn in a color of your choice (I used Premier Yarns Parfait Chunky Pom Poms)
WW (#4) yarn in desired colors for accessories
Size K (#10.5 or 6.50 mm) crochet hook
Size G (#6 or 4.25 mm) crochet hook
Yarn Needle
Polyester fiberfill (pillows work just as well!)
Scissors
Felt sheets in red and yellow
Notes:
- Gauge isn't that important, so long as your stitches are tight and the stuffing won't show or fall out. You can use a different yarn and hook if so desired, just make sure you use a good combination that won't leave gappy holes.
- The (parentheses) at the end of each Rnd/Row indicate the number of stitches at the end of that Rnd/Row.
- I work in continuous rounds (aka spiral rounds), but if you prefer to join at the end of each round that's fine. I also decrease in front loops only because I've heard that it makes the decrease stitch less visible.
- If you don't know what a Magic Ring is don't panic! It's also called Magic Loop or Magic Circle. Here's an alternative: If the pattern says 6 sc in Magic Ring you can ch 2 and 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook and join stitches. I prefer working with a Magic Ring because you can pull it as tight as you want so that the stuffing won't show. Just use whatever you feel most comfortable using.
(US) Terminology Key
- ch = chain (make a slip knot and then make the foundation chain)
- st = stitch
- sl st = slip stitch
- SC = single crochet
- dec = decrease (2 sc together)
- inc = increase (2 sc in 1 st)
- MR = Magic Ring (see notes for instructions)
- around = repeat steps until you reach the last stitch of the round
- hdc = half double crochet
- hdc inc = two hdc in 1 stitch
- hdc dec = yarn over, pull yarn through 2 stitches (4 loops on hook), then yarn over and pull through all 4 loops
- dc = double crochet

SUPERMAN
Underwear: (using G hook and WW yellow yarn)
Attach yellow WW yarn to side of body about 3 sts under arm (see picture for reference). Sc across body and around. (roughly 38 sts. Count doesn't matter right now, don't freak out lol, we'll fix it later.)
2 - 3: hdc in each around (~38 sts)
*Change color to red*4: hdc in each st around, occasionally grabbing parts of the body and stitching the red to the body as you go (this will prevent the "tent"-like feeling of the plush). I grabbed body stitches every 3 stitches.
5: hdc in 17 sts, ch 1, turn, hdc in 19 sts, ch 1, turn (19)
6: sl st in 6, hdc in 8, ch 1, turn (14)

If these instructions don't make sense to you, please leave a comment or send me an email and I will write a special pattern to crochet the underwear flat and then sew it on. I just don't like sewing so I was trying to avoid it.
