I just started learning how to crochet a couple months ago. I had a lot of yarn so I just used what I had, not what was suggested for the pattern. I think it turned out OK. The yard I did use was difficult to work with which made the giraffe more difficult then usual. The pattern was easy to use, especially for a beginner. Thank you!

LOVE IT, Shelley! Thank you for sharing! I'm so glad you enjoyed the pattern!
This was my first time making a stuffie or snuggler blanket. The directions along with pictures made it easy for a beginner crocheted. I will be ordering others.

Wow, this was your first!? You did such a good job, Jean! I love it! Thank you so much for sharing and glad you enjoyed the pattern!
This one is my favorite so far…. I say that on all of them i think..
Store owner replied:
Aww it's so precious! Thank you for sharing, Julie!
I love how this turned out! The pattern was a little difficult to read and I felt it lacked some details that would help follow it. But after some trial and error I was able to figure it out and after that it was smooth sailing and the end product was amazing!

Thank you so much for sharing, Nicole! Feel free to reach out if you ever run into a question with the patterns! It turned out adorable!!
Haven’t gotten to the blanket part yet, it hasn’t been so beginner friendly for me so I’m still trying to figure it out. Otherwise super cute and easy to follow!
I loved making it. It was easy to follow and quick to do. I’m a teacher and making it for my classroom so students have a buddy to read with. Thank you.

Yay! Thank you so much for sharing!
The end result was adorable. I am more of a visual learner so I would have benefited from short videos showing me how to start the granny square blanket. Also had to take a bit of trial and error on a couple of the row directions. They were confusing at first to me as a crocheter who is YouTube self taught. I eventually caught on though and the end result was great.
