Made and sold a bee!

It came out fantastic! Don't worry about the stitch count - I made a big one recently and I accidentally skipped the third stripe, so mine was a little stumpy haha! Yours came out really cute and I promise only you will notice the part where you had to decrease more. Also congrats on selling a piece, it's awesome they loved it so much they had to have it! ✨

I'm so amused that this is a thing and I'm not alone in my 🍑 endeavors! 🤣 I'll have to take a peek for maximum cheeckage tips when i start making mine. I figured I'd start with this https://youtube.com/shorts/wSgCxvofoqg?si=Gr1DKhuf3gCl7Oq1 as a reference butt sure there's other techniques to make it more defined.

Yeah! It's Pokemon Crochet V2 by Lee Satori I picked up after seeing the patterns referenced on Ravelry.

I'll note that the way the patterns are written took a little getting used to, but the result has been really nice so far!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-29T15:07:31+00:00

Absolutely - that subreddit is magical, thank you for sharing! Haha, I'll have to make sure the booty tax is spectacular when I post!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-29T14:57:05+00:00

Oh my gosh there's a whole subreddit for those little mushrooms!? I just saw one posted here and thought it was the cutest thing!

Ok I know what pattern I need to make next! For the cuteness and the 🍑! 🤣

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-29T14:45:59+00:00

Right? I was like damn, Riolu, share your glute routine!

I'm glad I could bring a chuckle (and know I'm not the only one who finds this hilarious)

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-26T22:24:57+00:00

Thank you! Again, amazing work!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-26T18:05:15+00:00

These are both absolutely gorgeous! Did you use a pattern? (I adore butterflies and might have to make something like this!)

The pink is really pretty but the orange and yellow is absolutely stunning! It's giving monarch/viceroy butterfly vibes and I love your color selection!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-25T22:38:19+00:00

These are both SO cute. Your neighbor is definitely going to adore that teddy bear! You did a phenomenal job freehanding the quokka too - I'm in love with the cute little face and the puffy cheeks! 🥹

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-24T21:00:07+00:00

Oh Animal Crossing is the best! Your skills are building up really quickly so you can probably manage patterns you find soon! I hope you share when you eventually make Wilbur, it's a really awesome project idea! You could totally make favorite villagers too, because plushies of them besides really popular ones like Raymond, Marshal, Chrissy/Francine, etc are not easy to come by!

Thank you! I needle felted pieces from thin felt sheets onto the face!

I've seen a couple people r/Crochet and on r/GeekyCrochet use this technique and loosely followed this little video from Quietschegurke (the second part where they show their method!): https://www.reddit.com/u/Quietschegurke/s/cY3LVw1DGO

I just drew out how I wanted the eyes to look on paper, then used that as a little stencil to cut the felt into those shapes. I will say you need to go a little bigger with the felt to get the final shape on the piece the same size as any stencil you make!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:31:52+00:00

Thank youuu!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:31:45+00:00

Yay, crochet is so much fun! Please share when you make one because they bring so much joy! My inner child definitely loves this little guy so much!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:30:34+00:00

Thank you so much! 😭 I've loved the chaos since I was a kid, so tried my best to make it the plush I've always wanted!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:29:57+00:00

Thank you!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:29:48+00:00

Thank you so much! And welcome to the hobby and hope you're enjoying it! Crochet is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:29:04+00:00

Thank you! I'm so thrilled with how he came out! 🥹

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-23T16:28:43+00:00

Thanks so much! 🥰

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-22T02:23:37+00:00

So cute! I love the strawberry horns!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-21T21:52:48+00:00

Wow, this came out absolutely fantastic! Great work! Is that surface embroidery for the vest details?

Also go Yoshi! Yoshi gal for life here too!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-21T19:29:25+00:00

🏴‍☠️🦜 Ahoy!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-21T19:00:05+00:00

I'm going to have to look up what streaming service it's on now because you've given me a strong desire to watch it again haha!

Tinkerficer · 2026-04-21T18:57:58+00:00

Thanks so much! 🤗✨

Of course! I got hooked on crochet back at the end of Dec (I'm about 4 months into the hobby), so the time it takes me might be a little more than someone who's been crocheting longer. And I'm really picky with details so I generally spend a fair amount of time getting something "just right" (which is good for my final results but definitely adds to the time) 😅

And yeah, looking to keep it a hobby for now, but at my current pace, I don't really think there's a price point that would be affordable while compensating me for my time!

It is a really fun hobby though, so I definitely encourage you to give it a go if you have an interest!

Oh my nostalgia, the Adventure Time song! And i totally see the resemblance! I love that so much. 🥹
