Mr. Frond’s Therapy Dolls Collection (Bob’s Burgers)

I am SO happy to finally introduce you guys to my latest Bob’s Burgers collection – Mr. Frond’s Therapy Dolls! Ever since I posted my Flu-ouise Collection, I’ve gotten a lot of requests for me to make some of Mr. Frond’s therapy dolls. Initially, I didn’t want to do it; making 3D versions of 2D characters isn’t exactly the easiest and these collections are usually the most time-consuming to write. But because people have been asking so nicely and I’m such a people-pleaser, I decided to finally make the therapy dolls!

This Bob’s Burgers collection took me a very long time to make. I started working on the Portion Control Joel doll mid-May, but because his proportions are a little weird, I’ve had to remake him a lot. After failing on my third Joel, I ran out of yarn and had to order more. And because we are currently in the midst of a pandemic, my yarn didn’t get to me until a month and a half later.

So while I was waiting for my yarn to finish Joel, I worked on the other dolls. But that disruption reeeeally threw me off and I kinda lost my crojo. I also always lose my crojo when it’s hot out. 

Anyway, let’s talk a bit about this collection!

Out of the many therapy dolls Mr. Frond has made, I chose to make the following five- Portion Control Joel, Distracts-his-friendzo Lorenzo, Miss Understood, Repressed Memory Emily, and Self-Care Claire.

Yarn I Used

I chose to use Paintbox Yarns Cotton Aran from LoveCrafts for all of the toys in this collection. I chose to work with Paintbox Yarns for this project because it comes in so many colours and makes colour-matching for this specific project a little easier. I also prefer using the cotton version of the yarn versus the acrylic. I find that acrylic is too stretchy and the finished items almost always turn out very inconsistent. 

However, you can use any cotton yarn for these patterns as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn.

Portion Control Joel

The finished toy measures to be about 10 in (24.5 cm) tall.

I used roughly 50g of Light Caramel (1 skein of yarn), 30g of Sailor Blue (> half a skein of yarn), 30g of Rose Red (> half a skein of yarn), and 15g of Coffee Bean (< half a skein).
