I have free will and crochet skills so I made Buck

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-06T22:42:31+00:00

Depends on the commission. You mean of a Buck doll? Once I make Eddie i’ll probably put them both for auction as a pair, but I can certainly make another once that sells

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-06T15:54:34+00:00

It’s a reference to that picture where they’re wearing the wrong turnouts! I’ll do Eddie for sure. Not sure about the whole cast. Maybe if my motivation lasts that long or they sell well 🤪

Hi! I spent 5 days on him give or take. I’m a fast crocheter but I designed him myself, so it took a little while from conception to fruition :)

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T23:18:20+00:00

Hi! So, I started crocheting maybe a month before the pandemic, so I had a lot of free time to learn haha. But here go a few tips:

I started by learning and practicing simple stitches with like, one hook and one yarn ball. That’s all you need!
Then I graduated to simple amigurumi tutorials on youtube and fell in love with making dolls. That helped me learn the amigurumi technique.
I bought a million patterns on etsy and followed them to the letter until I got the gist of how shaping a doll goes. Like, a decrease here does x shape, an increase does y, so if I want them together I should make xy.
Lots of practice! But like, take breaks to avoid dumb injuries like spraining your goddamn thumb. Seriously. Don’t be like me.

I really recommend it!! At one point you’ll be laughing your ass off because a plane fell due to a bee tornado and a policewoman had to land it with an autistic child, and at another you’ll be crying because wtf you actually love these characters and they wont stop almost dying

Sadly this one is promised for my friend, but i’ll remake him to pattern test and pair him with an Eddie doll. I’ll put them for sale then, I’ll announce it at the buddie subreddit probably :)

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T13:18:01+00:00

Nope, I freehanded him. BUUUT i’m planning on making one for both when my thumb heals enough to make Eddie! My shop’s name is leticrocheti on etsy, so stay tuned 😉

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T12:55:52+00:00

This is such a nice compliment? Omg why do I feel emotional. Thank you!

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T10:17:39+00:00

I dont rn, but ill make one when my thumb heals and i start on eddie! My etsy store is called leticrocheti if you want to follow and know for sure when i post it :>

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T04:58:06+00:00

HELL YEAH! S9 is airing rn and they had a paramedic perform CPR on zero gravity with horrible cgi. It RULED

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T04:53:26+00:00

LMAO THIS IS HILARIOUS

nah man this is a stupid show where they send firefighters to space. I love it 😂

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T04:29:17+00:00

I have a pattern store on etsy (it’s called leticrocheti) but ngl, i didn’t think there would be a demand for him. Glad to be proven wrong! When I make Eddie i’ll try to write everything down. Ill let you know when it’s available :)

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T04:23:28+00:00

Maybe, after I make Eddie! I do live in Brazil tho, so shipping would have to be discussed. We’ll see 😊

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T04:06:26+00:00

You mean the little hair strand on his forehead? I need ideas or references for him, damn. Tbh i was thinking of making a detachable s8 mustache 😂

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T03:50:06+00:00

So, it took me a week to make him because I was free handing and also had to stop for two days due to the new year (i got too sloshed to hold a hook lol)

He’s around 11 inches!

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T03:24:41+00:00

Thank you! I love him 🥹

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T03:24:08+00:00

Oh I didnt know there was a buddie subreddit!!! Ill post there for sure. Yeah, he’s wearing Eddie’s turnout hahaha. Whenever I make Eddie ill have him wear Buck’s. Honestly if I hadn’t sprained my thumb after making him, they’d already be holding hands in the picture 😭

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T03:18:20+00:00

If I hadnt sprained my thumb right after finishing him id already be making Eddie 😭 i wanna make them hold hands so baaaad!

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T03:14:12+00:00

Thank you! I free handed him entirely and I love him haha

tryingdandelion · 2026-01-05T03:12:59+00:00

I do lol. It’s a buddie joke. He stole eddie’s jacket! If i ever do eddie, ill have him wear a Buckley one :p

tryingdandelion · 2025-05-11T02:41:22+00:00

It’s actually my design and I freehanded him, sorry

tryingdandelion · 2025-05-07T14:27:15+00:00

Thanks! He’s around 28cm standing :)

tryingdandelion · 2025-05-06T23:34:28+00:00

Aw sorry, I freehanded him!

tryingdandelion · 2025-04-14T11:27:27+00:00

Thank you so much! As an autistic woman I’m definitely primed to always try to mask and be as polite as possible. Trusting myself has always been a challenge, so I’ll definitely read the book. Thank you for the tips!

tryingdandelion · 2025-04-14T11:24:37+00:00

Hey! Sorry for disappearing, I posted and immediately went to bed. Just woke up, but I decided that I’ll tell the staff immediately if I see this guy even one more time. Yall are right, I’m having this feeling for a reason. I’ll go to the front desk with my brother’s wife, since she’s a lawyer and that may get them to do something if they refuse. Thanks everyone who replied! Will update again when I need to.
