🫶💕 Thanks for watching!! My dog will appear in my video that comes out tomorrow 😊

Thanks!

Right? There wasn't any blue in the pattern 😂

Thank you!! I'll have to find more non-amigurumi patterns to try 🤞

Thanks for watching!!

No problem 🫶 thanks for making such a great pattern!!

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching, as always, Lisa! 🫶

I'm a pattern designer as well and for simpler patterns like these, I don't find it to be a lot of extra effort to take WIP photos and add more detail in areas of the pattern that have more complicated instructions. I'm currently working on a pattern that will be released on my Etsy only, and not for free, and there is definitely a difference in the amount of effort I'm putting into details and instructions in the pattern that I otherwise wouldn't include in a free pattern; but overall I think the bare minimum for releasing a pattern, whether it's free or not, should be having WIP photos and more detailed instructions in areas of the pattern that may cause confusion. It eliminates extra work for you later, since you won't have to answer people's questions in the comments of the pattern, and it also might make your pattern and page where you release the pattern for free more popular. So not only is it more convenient for more crocheters to understand, but you also might have more people follow your page if you're consistently putting out high-quality patterns. Hope that helps you understand why I think those things are important! Thanks for watching & leaving a comment 🫶

I also missed one of the biggest points I wanted to make (oops!): Just because I don't rate a pattern 5 stars, doesn't mean it's not a good pattern. A pattern can still be 3 stars and above and be a good pattern. The point of these videos is to rate them and provide feedback on how to get to that 5 star rating - which all my feedback goes to show that it is achievable with a little more effort. I appreciate your feedback and your point of view, I just wanted to make sure you were aware that a rating below 5 stars doesn't make these "bad" patterns. I just want the 5 star rating to reflect top-tier patterns that don't need any work to make them any better. Hope that helps ❤

It is so cute and easy once you figure it out!

I added it to my list of suggestions! Thank you!!

I don't think it's appropriate for me to make a tutorial on how to adjust someone else's pattern, but there are definitely patterns out there that you can purchase that show you how to crochet directly into the head. Specifically, nooks_hooks on Instagram has a lot of no-sew patterns that utilize that technique!

I agree but unfortunately most of the market does not right now

That's a good idea to include a quick start guide! I'm definitely going to implement that in the pattern I'm writing right now. I think the demographic of people who are picking up crochet & amigurumi is definitely changing, though; which is why designers are making accommodations in their patterns for those people. Tons of millennials and Gen-Z kiddos (but I guess they're not really kiddos anymore, more like young adults & adults) are picking up crochet & amigurumi for the first time and trying out these patterns and need extra help. Those generations of people are also a lot less likely to print out a pattern, and will instead view the pattern on their phone/tablet/computer. Personally, I don't print any patterns out unless I need to work on one while I'm at a market selling my plushies. As a pattern designer myself, I prefer to make my patterns as thorough as possible so that EVERYONE who reads it can understand without reaching out and asking me questions. Especially free patterns - it's a free pattern most of the time because it's a fairly simple pattern and doesn't leave any room for questions. If there's room for questions, the pattern designer was probably not thinking about the difficulty level of the pattern for different experience levels.

Thank you so much for all the helpful feedback! It actually wasn't too bad making each one of these patterns again, since I'm familiar with them! I also typically weight out my yarn before & after (for pricing purposes) and time myself making them the first time around, so I got to skip all of those steps this time! I'm always super worried that I'm going to hurt the pattern designer's feelings if I share my honest opinion on the pattern... that's why I try to offer as much feedback about what they could be doing differently to make the pattern better. I've even offered help to my own followers with their patterns to rewrite their patterns! Thank you so much for watching my videos! ❤

The spotted yarn was Himalaya: Dolphin Baby Colors in the color 80431 - yarnalot.com/collections/himalaya/products/himalaya-dolphin-baby-colors-80431-100-polyester-80431 (You can get 10% off your purchase at this website with the code CASSIE10) and the darker green I believe was Premier: Parfait Chunky in the color Lagoon.

❤ Yes! Definitely try out the chicken keychain, you will NOT be disappointed!! ❤

Thank you so much! ❤

Congrats!

I did!!! I spoke it into existence 🙌

Thank you! I made the blanket in this video: ruclips.net/video/bbaHGdsjPTY/видео.html and the pattern should be linked in the description of that post 🫶💕

Hahaha 😂 thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you!! I'm sure he will be pleased with all the compliments when he watches today 🫶

Sorry!

I'm so glad 😂

That's a good idea!

I appreciate the feedback! There's not an ending stitch count after repeating the rows it says to repeat, and there's an increase in one of the rows I had to repeat 🤷‍♀️ As for the font, I will let my husband know to pick a clearer font for the next video! He put the pattern in a word doc and picked all the fonts for it, I'll make sure he makes it a little clearer next time!

@ the pattern font is fine, its the comments throughout the video that had me sweating to read. 😱🤣

Fun! Good luck with your shawl!

Hahahaha 😂 thanks so much for watching!

I agree! He needs a snout!

Agreed, that would've made a lot more sense!

I found myself talking to you during this.., “medium weight? That’s SIZE FOUR! What?! We use super bulky!”….”a telescope maybe?”… I was yakkin away! Lol! 🤣🤣

Thank you! We have lots of art we've collected over the years in our house 🤗 I'm glad you liked the video, Lisa! Hopefully I can encourage Noah to help me make another one for next month!

😂😂😂 I just saw your reply about talking to yourself, I love it!

Right?! 😂

I didn't even THINK about making him sit! That would've been really cute!!!

I think we're going to steer clear of "no-sew" with AI for a while 😂 but I definitely look forward to making another one of these videos! Everyone seems to have loved it!!!!

To say I was struggling would be an understatement 😂

Exciting!!

I have not tried that! I'll have to check it out!!! Thanks for the suggestion 🫶💕

I've been using them for about a week now and am in love with them! They're so light weight and smooth as butter!

Thanks for watching Sheila! Happy New Year!

Thanks for watching!

Happy New Year!

Thanks, I'm aware of this! I definitely didn't mean that he AI generates images and claims the art as his own. He generates images to send to his friends, telling them to get on Discord or to play a video game with him, that sort of thing. The images he generates he only shares privately with our friends. Sorry for the misunderstanding! I definitely understand the worry of stolen property and the like, it's something I battle daily with my patterns and friends of mine's patterns being stolen or sold in packs hidden on Etsy by AI generated images claiming to be packs of 100+ original patterns together.
