    This was so fun to make! I’m proud to say I crocheted a little headband onto his feet so now I can walk around with a giant moth stuck to the side of my head. The type of attention I strive for.

    I may be the wrong judge of this since I actually think most arthropods are more or less adorable, but those legs are amazing and not at all creepy! Super clever way of making the joints there! This little guy is so heckin' cute and I feel like customising the colours and wing shapes to make many more species. :))

    I cannot even deal with how adorable this is.
    I’m always preaching to people how moths are just as wonderful as butterflies. Cuz all they are are nighttime butterflies.
    This thing is so dang cute! I’m pregnant with my third child and told my husband I wanted to make little bugs for toys. Cuz my kids love snails and ladybugs and bees and that would be so perfect

    • @DrawnAndQuartered
      @DrawnAndQuartered 2 роки тому +3

      A slicker brush is a brush for grooming dogs, it has long thin wire bristles, you can see one at 32 minutes into the video. You can usually find them with the dog toys and brushes in any shop which is likely to sell those things.

    So cute!! Not the most beginner friendly, so have something by you to know the stitches, haha. Also pro tip- if your sewing the eyes do them after you start the skull pattern.

    I made this in pastel purple, pink and blue and it is so cute! If you don’t have safety eyes you can still make it. I used some felt and sewed the eyes on and then embroidered some sparkles. I love this pattern because i found the video easy to follow when compared to other UA-camrs video’s I’ve seen. It was a-lot of work for a stuffy so it is not something i see myself making a second time but I am sooooo happy I made it! Great Job!

    • @ComplicatedKnots

      Hi :) Potentially? After R1 we have 6 stitches to work into. In R2 we sc into the first stitch, increase into the second, increase into the third, sc into the fourth, increase into the fifth, and increase into the sixth. All up you should work 10 stitches.

    Haha, I can’t find the forhead slope to position the eyes on, I’m pretty sure it is not in the same location your is when looking at your starting stitch. I’m such a beginner 🤦‍♀️ I had to turn the head inside out to get the correct side on the outside, do you think that has anything to do with it? Any alternative suggestions on how to find the correct position? Sorry about this

    • @ComplicatedKnots
      @ComplicatedKnots  2 роки тому +2

      All good. You can try stuffing to see if that makes it more obvious, but honestly? If you can't easily see it, it doesn't matter. Juts make sure once you've made the skull patch, that it sits centered on the top of the back, and insert your eyes at that point. As for turning the head inside out? For my first dozen videos on this channel I was crocheting inside out too, happens to the best of us :)

    • @BlaisZeroni
      @BlaisZeroni 2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the advice! I re-did the head and when stuffing like you suggested the shape is now appearing and looks very cute!
      I did run into a problem with the butt stripes now. Yours look very nice and even, I’m guessing each 2 rows thick? Mine don’t look the same at all. I have pictures, maybe you could take a look and see if there is something I’m interpreting wrong while reading the instructions? I tried to find my error in the color coding but I’m so new to reading patterns I’m getting a bit lost. Sorry to trouble you so! I’m loving working on this pattern, it is becoming such a cute creature!

      Hi :) My videos are aimed at more experienced crocheters, so this would be challenging for a beginner. You should absolutely still try if you are interested, particularly if you have crocheted a couple of things before. Just go slow, ask questions when you get stuck, and use google for stitches you aren't sure about :) I've had people who have crocheted for years tell me my patterns are too hard, and freshly-hatched beginners say I was their first project and they loved it, so only you can be the judge.
