Adventure Time with Finn and Jake

I recently started watching Adventure Time on Cartoon Network UK with my boys (I only just found out we could get it on our subscription). It's a great show, suitable for kids (maybe not very young ones) and adults - the humour's fun and weird but not mean. It's set in a colourful, fantastical post-apocalyptic world with Finn, a 12/13 year old boy (the only human we know of) and Jake the dog, who is capable of stretching or shrinking to almost any size or shape. They have all sorts of adventures - Finn is pretty handy with a sword - and sing cute little songs.

I joined in with an Adventure Time swap on Craftster and made Finn and Jake for my partner (I think I'll have to remake them for my boys!).


Part of the reason I like the show is the design of the characters, and they have great shapes to crochet. Here are the originals to compare:


Finn is about 13" tall and has a backpack that opens and closes with a small button.



Jake is about 8" tall, roughly in proportion to Finn in his normal shape and size, where he still has quite long arms.




Since they both have such thin legs, it's hard to make them stand up, so I took them outside to pose them a bit. Finn's off on an adventure and Jake's hanging around in a tree.



I hope you like them, and if you haven't watched Adventure Time, give it a go!
