Hi everyone! I’m relatively new to crochet and I’m really new to Ribblr. I had the urge to try to make my own pattern and so far it’s going well. I made the head and the ears of the animal I’m trying to make and I like it so far. Now I need to keep going with the body but I feel like there’s almost a block. I’m not sure how to proceed from here. If anyone has any advice or even just encouragement I’d really appreciate it

I’d suggest trying to figure out what kind of body you want with it and then try making it and see if you like how it comes out. You got this!

You can find some inspiration pictures for the body you could find. You got it! My first pattern was err… interesting, it just takes practice. Plus it’s also helpful to look at other patterns

Thank you. The body is where I was struggling to visualize it so just kinda doing something and then seeing how it goes may be the best strategy

Very true. I think going back to the reference pictures will be very helpful. I never thought to look at other patterns (as silly as that sounds). I didn’t want to be seen as “copying”

Well you should be proud of your achievement so far. Never forget comparing is not copying it’s looking for a pattern ~ no pun intended ~

im sure your pattern will turn out great! i get the block sometimes like when trying to make the head for my newer pattern. sometimes you just need to look at other patterns, and try out stuff until it looks right to you

It’s helpful to look to see how things can being worded, it’s easy to write patterns the more you read them. And it’s not copying if you don’t copy the pattern, just looking and seeing as a reference.
