New But Excited to Be Here!

After a long time of being unable to understand crochet, I’m finally getting the hang of it! I’ve been sewing for a while beforehand, so I love making garments and the thought of making a crocheted sweater or cardigan really intrigues me! The Cornelius the Bee Woobles kit was the first crochet project I finished! I also attached an image of a WIP maneki-neko, the character Turbo Granny from the anime Dandadan! I used olliehollycrochet’s amigurumi basics youtube vid for the head and guessed the increase and decrease stitches for the rest with lots of trial and error!

Looking good :+1:
I have been crocheting for years now. It took me quite some time for things to look how they were supposed to :joy:.
A sweater may take a while but that means you’ll get a lot of practice. Good Luck

Partly! The arms and legs I totally guessed on, by working and unworking them until they were the size/shape I wanted. The ears I referenced from free crochet cat ears on hub pages, but I was totally off on the count. For the body, I referenced the woobles chick pattern.
