Hi there! Im new to Ribblr and I made this Cat crochet plush today, does it look okay for my level? (Im a very new beginner)!
I have no idea what happened to the face
I think I used the wrong size eyes?
Also im not sure if im supposed to link what pattern i used or not so let me know if im supposed to link the pattern I used!

I think it looks super cute! Definitely good for your level! When using plush or thick yarn, I suggest using bigger eyes. And linking the pattern is optional!

Aww I think it’s adorable! You definitely did a great job! Bigger eyes may have been a bit better, especially for thicker yarn (sometimes smaller eyes fall out for me), but it’s still cute either way! Linking the pattern is totally up to you!

Yeah that happens sometimes lol I also found that putting the safety eyes in the middle of a stitch instead of the holes between stitches really helps keep them in place better. It’s a bit harder to get them in, but it’s worth it!

I said this in the ribblr chat but yeah it looks great!!
The tips I have are:
- It does look like your work might be inside out but that’s very easily fixable for your next project
- The holes in amigurumi are typically caused by using a hook too big. A general rule of thumb is 1.5-2 sizes smaller than what it says on the packaging of the yarn
- and then of course using bigger eyes or embroidering them if you want
It looks amazing for a beginner! Can’t wait to see you progress in this craft :]
I also love the yarn you chose haha it reminds me of a candy corn

Of course, glad to help a bit!
And yep, it did! It doesn’t show that it’s a reply if it’s directly underneath what you replied to, but it still notifies the person! I’m not sure why it doesn’t show it though lol

It’s so cute you really should link the pattern!
I started crocheting 4 years ago but forgot about it for like 2 years and got into knitting.
Now I’m back to crocheting!
I’m also a pretty big beginner.
