I was just about to ask about the pattern! I used to have a pet rat, and when I saw your gray one with the pink feet and tail, I fell in love! Thank you for the brilliant tip about using the body color around the legs and tail before sewing them on!! I’ve always hated the way they look just attaching them straight to the body, so I’m going to use this method from now on! You just popped up on my feed this morning, and I’m loving my algorithm again lol. Thank you for sharing!
😊SUBSCRIBED before the video was even finished!😊
It kinda looks like the rat got covered in cheese powder! Someone got busted sneaking a little snack! My vote is to name the little guy Cheddar lol
😂 THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT ❤
I agree looks like a cheese wedge 🧀😂
What kinda cheese covers you in powder? XD
Petition to name him Cheeto Dust
@@redtarka those Kraft Mac n cheese powder packets
RUclips algorithm working correctly
Is no one else here because the algorithm decided Will it Button and Will it Rat were related?
realllll
yuh
Yeah, isn’t it amazing how it just seems to know.
Right??
The concept of trying to use terrible yarn for rats is hilariously charming. I love it.
The rat looks like those old webkins with the stringy hair!!
Yes it does!
THE MEMORIES
I just said that! The Googles, right?
oh my god i forgot about that!! thank you for unlocking that memory
That was what I thought too
Luv this…. here’s some ideas for further rat materials:
- plarn, yarn made from strips of grocery bags. a trashy rat
- tshirt yarn, made from strips of tshirts. casual rat
- jute? a rough garden rat
- ribbon, a lovely rat
- boucle yarn for a curly-lookin rat
- thin wire? jewelry rat?
- human hair rat
i'd like to add faux fur yarn, for the electrocuted rat look
plarn is a great idea haha
Can I add necklace chain to this? Little knight chain mail rat?
@@amorphous_donut7236alhaitham mentioned
@@heftyhadrosaur8740 ohhhh that's good! I was gonna suggest art yarns like beehive yarn, but I think I'm seconding chain rat instead
Me who has no idea how crochet works: I like your funny words magic man!
LMAOO i like that
Make a rat from super bulky blanket yarn. King Rat!
YES
The giant rat that makes all of tha rules!
@@cat21860damn I was about to say the same thing
With a crown of yellow fuzz yarn 🤣
Not to be confused with a rat king... don't google it!
The whole time I was thinking shredded cheese rat
LOL! I see it
Crinkly Mac n Cheems
pee rat...
Shred E. Cheese?
I think you should keep the rats for this series so you can always compare the materials/yarns used
i second this !!!
Agreed. Plus, after the first dozen, maybe auction them off as a collection? lol
At first I lowkey thought that it`s the reason to the whole series - to collect a pile of crocheted rats to have an option to dive in the soft pile randomly during the day. At least, it's very much understandable goal.
“Will it rat?” Immediately subscribed 😂❤
This was my exact thought process
Same😂
I was just upset that there is only one "will it rat?" I was expecting to stay up for God knows how long watching these and it's already over. We need more.
Me too
Me too, and I'm not even able to crochet😂
Rat was absolutely the right to decision for this series. Rats get cuter the more skrunkly they are. For the next one I hope you try twine or poly rope from Home Depot.
TWINE OMG
Thank you for this video, this was legitimately life changing. I bought your rat pattern and the ability to make infinite rats now brings me a sense of power I never knew I had
The answer is: BECOME CROCHERAT OVERLORD.
This is the most wholesome comment I've seen today. I hope you have nefarious plans for your growing rat army.
@@prodigal_southerner The rat army is going swimmingly, we’re up to two rats now and they’ve already pulled a Ratatouille on me (I wore a rat on my head while I cooked dinner)
I have never crocheted before but the idea of infinite rats is kind of making me consider it
I'm having a horrible panic attack and RUclips recommended this video. I don't think I've ever been more zen watching someone crochet
this is THE video for people having panic attacks apparently, because youtube led me here too (hope you are doing well, stranger!)
I hope you are both feeling better now 😊
@@harrib2896 I'm feeling much better thank you! OCD is a bitch loll
Hope both of y’all are okay now, I’m here for you 🫂🫂
Me today, after the US election, having my first reminder of how wonderful the world and people are.
I’ve kept pet rats since the 80s. In retirement I’ve taken up sewing & other textile arts. RUclips algorithm found the right audience! 🤣🐀
Possible rats!
Tinsel yarn rat: a festive special perhaps?
Raffia rat: may be a paper cut risk but would be kind of like a straw hat (straw rat?)
Lace rat: thin lace trim for sewing, I've crocheted with it before and it's pretty interesting
Spaghetti rat: I'm sorry
Sequin rat: I don't know if this is actually possible to crochet with but you get sequin trims for sewing that are a single row of sequins
Twine rat: twine rat scrunkly
Tassel rat: another sewing trim , I think it would be Very Funky
Paracord rat: this one might really suck to make actually
Chain rat: idk how much the stuffing would show through but I think he'd be a cool punk little guy
Tinsel would go hard
These are great suggestions, especially the spaghetti one LOL
Similar to sequin trim, you can easily string beads onto yarn and work them into your stitches. A bejeweled rat 💎
Sooo tempted to make tinsel yarn rat but idk how to crochet that well lmao
@@leev263glass seed beads would be very pretty and fancy ✨🐀✨
many years ago i crocheted a pair of boots out of an old cassette tape for an ecology project. i think it might rat
8:10 ......it looks like a corn cob... With all the corn kernels taken off.....
I’m very happy this appeared on my recommendation page,it’s a nice break from everything else
I'm glad to hear that 😁
Will it rat? Hmmm... Consider me interested 🧐 Do you dare trying to crochet one with plarn? That might be torture!
Oh my goshh you're right,
as a rat mother of 18 and a fellow crocheter i approve of this video
Same ❤ love rats love crochet
Woah 18??? Thats a lot of rats :D how do you manage them all? I know rats procreate quite quickly, do you keep them in separate cages or sterilize them, or do you just let nature do its thing?
I didn’t see the word “rat” at first and was terrified
Looks like a sensory nightmare to me but the rat came out looking so cute! So thank you for your 3/5 star sacrifice to bring them into the world. The rat themself is definitely a 5/5 star experience!!!
Do I crochet? No. Am I watching this and planning to watch the entirety? Yes, yes I am
keep him! I would love to see a line up of all the Will it Rat rats as the series progresses! As for the next material- maybe ribbon?? I'd love to see how well that could work as a yarn substitute
YES
This is exactly what I needed today. I'm so excited for the future rats.
I made a Freddie Mercury doll once and used that scrubby yarn in black for his chest hair. Definitely one of my finer fiber moments. 😊
😂
lol! Seriously!
You could probably do a series of one-of-a-kind "cursed rats made from bad yarn that should feel bad" and sell them for *more* than the standard ones. Like a limited-edition pair of sneakers.
before i even started watching this video i was 100% invested in this series. will it rat?? i must know
Same
i think seeing red heart scrubby pop up on screen genuinely gave me some sort of jump scare flashback. horrid memories of raw tensioning fingers and uncountable stitches....may god have mercy on your fingers and eyes for this one🫡 (edit: OMG ITS ADORABLE😭 its like a little cheese rat and now i have a mighty need to make a small army of rats)
i take back everything i've ever said about youtube recommendations. it does understand me
At this point I’m just like “you’re correct, but *which* brick lead to this” lmao
“Will it rat?” is an awesome idea! That scrubby rat is sooo cute! I can’t wait to see the next episode you’ll try to rat!
For more yarn ideas for this...... pom pom yarn? Or some of the other novelty yarns like ribbon or fun fur yarn? I love the cheese rat!
I'm envisioning a rat scrubby stuffed with the mesh from fruit bags that scrubby poofs are made from. Keep the cotton tail and tie it in a loop for a durable hanging loop, maybe? Anyway, im so glad the algorithm found this!
I agree with those that said keep this one because he’s the first in the series & for comparisons moving forward.
I’d love to see if you can make pipe cleaners work. The neon ones specifically 💚🩷💛
I decided that I'm gonna keep the original, and make a few more to sell. Pipe cleaners is also next on my list!
omg I saw the name of your channel and thought it sounded so familiar, then saw the rat and thought "wow that looks so much like that possum pattern I love" and then FINALLY put two and two together!!! I love your work so much, your clown possum was the first ever amigurumi I made!! I love your cheese ball rat lmao
also maybe try tshirt yarn or that weird chenille yarn with the loops or bumps on it!
I love that the Clown Posm was your first!
I don’t follow crochet or crochet content, I don’t even crochet, I don’t know why RUclips recommended this to me.
But it’s exactly what I need
if you want a hard "yarn" to work with, try Waxed string its used in book binding
elastic beading cord might look really cool, maybe you could stuff it with something interesting because it would be see through
I have a whole series on my channel where I test out different types of yarn to see if it works for amigurumi. But apparently I should have focused in on a rat because this is fantastic :)
i know nothing about stitching and knitting, but will i watch this video through and through?
yess
same
Will it rat is the question I must know😔
I love this so much. And the best part if you keep this series going? YOU GET AN ARMY OF RATS! Who doesn't want that?!
I'd love to see one made out of t-shirt yarn or parcel string. Or maybe thin electrical cord.
Oh I ended up loving him! His name obviously needs to be American Slice. You should make a rat out of plarn! (Plastic yarn! There’s tutorials on how to make it out of grocery bags.) That would look really unique
I named him Mr. Shredded Cheese, and plarn sounds like an amazing (and difficult) idea!
@@Nichet.Crochetthere are videos on YT showing how to make plarn from grocery bags.
IGA = pretty blue
Dollar General = bright yellow
Walmart = gray
@@Nichet.Crochet grate name! 😂
your possum pattern was the reason I started crochet! initially i preferred knitting, but I saw your possum and made it my goal to make it for my partner. I almost quit learning out of frustration way too many times, but kept going because I really really wanted to make that possum. I'm proud to say that I finally have the skills to make it! thank you :)
9:13 I feel this rant soooo much, lol Just the other night I was cross stitching on black cloth and I’d used pinking shears to cut the edges. I got to work and was in the zone, awhile later I go to take a break, place my cross stitch to the side and see my legs and lap covered in these weird black things. The fabric had left tons of little pieces all over me. Now I know go cut over the trash and shake like crazy to get any stragglers out. I learned to crochet on chenille yarn and couldn’t agree more about what a pain it is. Haha
So glad you were on my recommended!
Immediately clicked this. Will it rat is genius.
Will it rat? What a fab concept!! I'm here for more 🐁❤🐁
*I LOVE THE FACT* I live in a world where a channel exists to crochet rats out of weird yarns - and it gets 46,000 views
Cute idea! I love the thought of you having a little army of rats made out of impractical yarn ❤
Sublime. Congratulations on making the most perfect RUclips video the world has ever known.
That type of yarn, but in a grayish color would make such a good possum!!!!
It looks like Ron Weasley’s rat, Scabbers, if the spell to turn him yellow had worked. I love it and now I want one.
Omg you're right!
That's a very cool Pikachu scrubby
LOL
Out of curiosity I watched the beginning of the video then I skipped to the end and when I saw the skrunkly cheese powder covered rat i screeched and screamed with joy and delight
Thank you youtube recommendations for showing me this video. I did not realize I needed to see this rat potentially being made
First of all, I adore your vibe, you seem chill yet secretly chaotic and that’s a solid mood.
Second, the rat is an icon, they are iconic, they will rule the rat world and take over the universe with ease.
Finally, I have many challenges for you to rat-ify if you dare to accept.
1. Make a rat out of spaghetti, you may need to learn how to make spaghetti from scratch so you can make a noodle long enough to crochet with
2. Rat imposter/Cat fur rat. I’ve seen people make yarn from it so might be a fun challenge. If you are allergic, idk wear a mask or something. If you don’t have a cat, I’ve got 2 so I’m happy to send you cat fur 😅
3. Tiny rat challenge, use embroidery thread
4. Microscopic rat, use sewing thread
5. Giant rat, use the largest yarn you can find to make a massive rat
6. Rope rat
7. Human hair rat
8. Old cable rat
9. That weird craft rope thing that’s brown and sold in the scrapbook section rat (Edit: TWINE!! Can’t believe I forgot what it was called)
10. The Pom-Pom yarn rat
I’ve got plenty more ideas, some cursed and some less cursed.
Please let me know if you do any of them!
I like how your rat looks like it's made out of straw, i think it's very cute!
i would love to see this with things that aren’t even yarn, like garden twine, fishing line, etc
i’m highly invested in this series
Honestly this texture in an actual rat like color would be a great scrungly rat look.
IT.RATS.
is ribbon a terrible suggestion? no ones suggesting any yarns but i think thatd be such a silly rat!!!!
someone said the rat looks like a corn cob with the corn chewed off and that's so accurate
Can’t believe this is our first time seeing you and you’re not actually a giant-mid-sized posm :o Thanks for the great videos and posms n stuff!
@CraftyLurex it's what I call my crocheted possums!
There is absolutely no reason this should have been recommended on my feed because I have never expressed any interest in any topic covered by this video and yet I must immediately subscribe because it is a perfect video
Oh this is ridiculously cute
I like the yellow fuzziness. It reminds me of a 🐤. I don't think I'd like touching the scratchy material, but it would be a nice display piece. I like that the fuzz hides the stitches a bit. It looks really cool.
I think that it would be interesting to see a rat crocheted out of black plastic bags. I mean, plarn (plastic bag yarn) is easy enough to make. It's just a plastic bag that's cut into strips so that it makes a loop, then those loops are sort of chained together to form a long strand of yarn. I've heard they weave and crochet mats out of plarn for the homeless. It's just a suggestion though.
What I find great and also funny about arriving here to this channel, is that because Drawfee (my favorite channel in RUclips) have so many bits and jokes about rats recently and since their teaser for the 3rd season of Julia's series "Drawtectives" have so many rat imagery, I think the algorithm thought that I love rats so much (which is true) that I needed to see this channel 💕✨🤭 thank you all mighty algorithm god, you delivered once again 🐀💕
That rat turned out cute. I like it. My Aunt used to take bread bags...cut them and connect them together somehow and then crochet rugs with it. Try plastic bread bags. You would have to cut the bags into long strips first. I was really young and i regret the fact she never showed me how she did it before she passed away
perfect example of "you don't know till you try"!
I watched this while sewing and it felt like we were crafting together
youtube is on point with these reccomendations. This little scrubby guy is so cute! One trick I learned for when working with scrubby yarn is to just put a bandaid or second skin where the yarn begins to rub
If you end up using more scratchy yarn in the future, you can always put a bandaid on the places on your finger where you keep a lot of tension.
To say I’m already invested in this series would be an understatement
Kids would love that to wash with, a fun way to get them to wash and as a bath toy!
This is the first will it rat video I’ve seen and I’m here for the rest of them
I find that brushing fuzzy yarns (I usually use a cat brush) after crocheting brings all the trapped bits out and back to the surface
Pro tip for working with chenille, melt the ends with a lighter, no fluff falling off that way :)
I love it! In grey, white, brown or black it would actually look pretty realistic lol.
i like how scraggly it looks 😭💕💕
3:46 "So I did some off-camera crocheting..." [Switches to creative mode]
Oh hey I made a 'rubber' duck out of that yarn! I like it a lot, I'm happy to see other people giving it a shot. This is the perfect concept for a series btw. 10/10.
Glow rat, glow in the dark yarn. I've only ever used lion brand cotton glow in the dark yarn but it glows so bright!
Loved this video, very wholesome watch after a long day at work
I've already done this! www.nichetcrochet.com/blog/does-this-yarn-actually-glow-in-the-dark
This video was in my recommended, and I clicked it before the thumbnail even loaded. I love the premise and your energy! This helped me get into a positive mood this morning.
clicked on the video for the rat, stayed for the great vibes and amigurumi tips!
yarn suggestions:
- giant yarn for fashionable furnishings
- bobble yarn
- jute/garden string
- kitchen string
- corkscrew yarn
- eyelash yarn (fluffy...)
You should try making a rat out of plarn (plastic bag yarn) or t-shirt yarn (yarn made from cut up strips of tshirt) I'd love to see how that works out
This yarn is actually really good for scrubbies. I use a strand of cotton with mine.
its coat reminds me of my old rats rex coat he had a bit of a yellow tinge to it and he had scruffy hair. Super cute!
When I started this video I thought "that rat looks a lot like a posm". I was so happy to see its you when I saw the account name!
I like it better than the normal ones, i absolutely love the texture ❤
Omg, I love the idea for this series and the fact that you like to crochet underappreciated critters! Thank you, RUclips recommendations :D
"It doesn't hurt. It just feels like I'm sanding down my fingers" 😹
Fun. Excited to see more weird rats in the future.
Finally, this is what i pay internet for! "Will it rat" is now my favorite saying of 2024!💗
Ok, I absolutely love that rat! It turned out so delightfully fuzzy.
Yellow is the perfect happy color 💛
Omg I fell in love with your clown opossum pattern, I made one for a friends birthday earlier in the year, I had no idea you made videos!
The little rat came out so much cuter than I expected! I would be interested to see how a faux fur yarn, like Hobbii’s Peacock, would rat. I have only used faux fur to accessorize, not for a main body.
I am so, so jealous of the lucky person who bought the beautiful cheese rat for 30 bucks! That's an absolute steal for such a beautiful boy.
this is the content that i want thank god for recommendations
