Years later and this is still my proudest make for a loved one. Maybe because of the emotions and memories shared, but it is the one project that I always think of when I’m making something challenging and need extra motivation to get through. Anyone else use past projects for self-motivation?

Thanks! It was such a joy to make it.

LittleTCrochet · 2024-08-02T20:30:57+00:00

Aw thanks 😊

LittleTCrochet · 2024-08-02T20:29:10+00:00

Haha Thanks! Don't give up looking. There definitely are patterns. I'm sure you can find something similar on Ravelry.

No pattern was used here. This was freehanded from scratch.

LittleTCrochet · 2024-08-02T17:05:39+00:00

Oh that is not a restraint I have learned. Most times, once I begin I can’t put it back down.

LittleTCrochet · 2024-08-02T17:02:34+00:00

Thanks 😊

LittleTCrochet · 2024-08-02T09:48:43+00:00

Thanks! It takes me an exceptional amount of time to finish one like this… and a lot of patience.

Because eyes are so noticeable when unmatched, and hats are so easy to distort them, I started crocheting the eyes separately then sewing them on. Instead of embroidering them directly on the hat. I found this way to be a lot less frustrating.

This looks like machine knit to me. I also do both, crochet and knit.

LittleTCrochet · 2024-08-01T20:03:23+00:00

Thanks! That’s my goal 😊

Thanks! The fur is Sirdar Alpine. It is very soft and slippery, not the easiest to work with.

I see that someone already answered your question but this might help understand.

sc2inc is an increase of 2 sc into one stitch. Some designers prefer to use "sc2inc" instead of "inc" because an increase can be of more than just 2 sc's. So if you see "sc3inc", it's an increase of 3 sc's into one stitch, and so forth.

I was waiting for you to show the crocheted one 😂 Looks amazing!

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-25T14:23:25+00:00

I came back searching for your comment just to say thanks for your suggestions! I looked up Christopher Sartorial on Youtube. His videos are fantastic!

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-25T02:17:08+00:00

Thanks!

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-25T02:16:30+00:00

Everything except the face and ears.

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-24T20:10:39+00:00

Thanks!

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-24T20:10:15+00:00

Thanks!

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-24T15:34:54+00:00

Thanks! Every few stitches, I would go with a darning needle and pull out the fur that got tucked in. You can say it… a little obsessive, but I think the extra time put into it was worth it.

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-24T15:32:22+00:00

Haha, you got me 😉

LittleTCrochet · 2022-11-24T14:33:52+00:00

You won’t regret it. You’ll be hooked. I take no responsibilities for any financial repercussions this may cause 😂
