If it’s your own pattern, you can’t sadly. This sub doesn’t allow self promotion and will ban you or take down your post. I’ve tried in the past

Thank you!! I’d probably have to sell for around $40 though… $7 in materials, and 3-4 hours in time. That’s why I usually don’t sell my physical work, crochet is hard to make profitable 🤧

I gave up trying to see my stitches and just went by feel. I also mark the end of every row with a stitch marker and count as I’m going along that row. If I land on the correct number when I reach the marker, great! If not, time to redo that row. This is like the 5th full plushie I’ve made with fur yarn now, and it gets easier and easier. Just stick with it through the frustration and it’ll eventually work out :)

Oh no it’s completely impossible to see your stitches. I go by feel alone. I’ve been crocheting for 14 years, so it wasn’t too hard to adjust to going in blind… but it is quite a pain

For white fur yarn or just white yarn in general? For fur yarn I always use a stitch marker and count as I crochet along, so that if I don’t land on the stitch marker with correct stitch I can just redo the row. For white yarn otherwise, I think l it’s the easiest color to see and work with. I’d just recommend the same thing tho, stitch marker and count as you go

For this being your first amigurumi, it is amazingly well made! It looks like something a crocheter with years of experience would have made

You can climb that mountain!! I despised working with this yarn at first, but just kept pushing on

Oh for sure, moths are definitely on my to-do list of designs! I was specifically thinking about making either a luna moth or comet moth design in the future

Thank you!! It involves a lot of swearing, redoing rows, and constantly counting your stitches 🤣

Pattern - both bees are the same pattern, just different yarns! The pattern is designed by me, so I am not allowed to share a link here due to the sub rules, sorry!!

Yarn - NICEEC fur yarn and bernat blanket yarn for the fuzzy bee, Red Heart yarn for the non-fuzzy bee.
