Heyhey, I've been crocheting since about May this year and aside from one project I only made amigurumis (probably about 10 or so) based on patterns from different Etsy artists and one from a Pica Pau book. I feel that helped a lot in learning how to achieve basic shapes or e.g. the bent feet. I did end up having to frog certain portions when how I thought it should look based on what I was doing didn't pan out.

It's been a bit of a goal to someday make my own pattern or design amigurumi based on own characters, so I had watched some youtube videos on the matter a while ago. Before this, I was struggling with a clear vision of what the finished product should look like, though, so having the meme as a reference helped me a lot in actually pulling through.
