Thank you for the new hyperfixation! Now I'm making shrimps for all my friends and family for Christmas. What I also love about this is that I can just stuff it with scrap yarn! ❤❤
I have made several of the shrimp...I think they are so cute! Rather than make them in two pieces, I crochet across the back in one row by crocheting in blo increasing the size of the stitch, then decreasing the size of the stitch, ch, turn and repeat. That keeps the ridges consistent on both sides of the shrimp and only requires one seam on the bottom. I also increase the head of the shrimp to one more row of 10 stitches before creating the body. This gives the little guy a bigger body. I am adding them to my "under the sea ornament collection, as well as making Emotional Support Shrimp keychains. Thank you so much for sharing.😊
For those of you asking for a pattern, since it's not my design, I don't think it would be appropriate for me to share that. If the designer would like, I would be happy to write it down for her.
Thank you so so much for the tutorial! I am pants at crocheting but thanks to your instructions, I made my very first shrimp (pausing the video a lot of times but it was super clear!). One reason many people want to crochet shrimp may be because of the very well known Chinese actor and singer Xiao Zhan - his fans are called "shrimps" (小飞侠 in Chinese) and there are tens of millions of them not just in China! So everything related to the cute and funny shrimp is liked and shared, given as a gift or made to keep. I am an auntie shrimp myself and will crochet many shrimps to gift. Thank you again, I had a lot of fun crocheting away!
Thank you so much for this free tutorial, Its so nice to be able to hve YOU explaine all the details, ans tell stories around what you're making! Unfortunetly some of us are not in a position right now to access paid workshops with you etc, so this is a superb opportunity and it is deeply appreciated, THANK YOU! I will be making dozen of cuties shrinps, and give them to all my friends!!!😁
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment! Filming & editing crochet tutorials really does take a lot of time, so anything I post on RUclips is definitely a labor of love and a gift of time I don't have a lot of anymore. I hope you and your friends enjoy your shrimpies!!!!
I love that this pattern isn't in the round -- it gets so hard to see the stitches in super small round things, and BLO would be even harder. My little shrimp came out great and is so accurately proportioned -- much better than another pattern I've tried! Thank you!
aw thank you for your feedback!! everyone has their different preferences and I'm happy some people can make the edits that they need but also happy when my version works out for others :)
Such a lovely tutorial! I have an inside joke with my friend about shrimp and I honestly thought it was too much of an obscure thing to have a tutorial, but this was so easy and fun! I’m making her one for her birthday :)
I'm with you! I thought shrimp would be totally obscure but people love this pattern and always find it hehe!!! Wonder what the next new shrimp is going to be?!?!?!?
I love this! I'm making little hats and accessories for them to give to all my friends for Christmas. Also to get the shell details on both sides to line up, I start the back loop only section 1 row earlier on one of the pieces, it seems to work pretty well. 🦐🦐
@@TwinkieChanTV Lol take that back! You're not the worst! 🤣 Life gets complicated that's completely understandable! I'm delighted your alive and healthy! I absolutely adore your content and you're such an inspiration for my beloved craft! So I'd like to personally and sincerely thank you for being you and sharing you're amazing creations with all of us! 💕
@@TwinkieChanTV any time! 😊 I don't really go on Instagram becuse I have severe ADHD and I can lose so many hours on there! But every once in awhile when i'm looking for inspiration I'll go on ig and marvel at your delightful crochet Delicacies! I've been tempted so many times to instant message you on Instagram! But I didn't want to to bother you because I'm super talkative! And it can get really annoying having someone constatly texting you about crochet! And new design ideas! Oh shoot I'm getting too excited again! sorry! I'm just so excited to finally talk to you after following you for so many years! you're actually the one who taught me how to make a magic ring! So thank you! 😊💕
Great tutorial! I'm making some mini versions of these for my D&D campaign. The players will be competing in a cooking competition where they have to battle monstrous 8-foot shrimp to prepare giant shrimp cakes! These little guys will make the perfect miniatures
To make both sides match, for the second side of the shrimp, instead of doing a BLO do a FLO (with the front of yarn of the loop, instead of doing it with the back one) if this comment can be pinned, itll help others :)
I was thinking about you all of last week, and playing your previous uploads for something to listen to while painting my walls! I totally get it, posting videos can be tough at times, but thank you for posting one today! And that totally sucks about yt giving that notification, but whatevs I guess lol
Ahahah it was an interesting push to do something I'd been planning for a while. I noticed on my Etsy listing that it said "RUclips video coming soon." That's been up for YEARS hahah
Hello 🧡 Im working an overnight shift. Thank you for keeping my hands busy and my mind focused. I appreciate all the time and efforts it takes to film videos with quality content. Im making twin shrimps, I'll be watching twice 🦐❤️🦐
Wow thank you for the video. I bought your shrimp amigurumi pdf 2 years ago, but i can't sure i'm doing rignt..crochet those tails(sorry for my broken eng. that not my mother language!!) Now i can make my shrimpy with confidence!! XD
Yay! Love seeing your tutorials, I’ve been making a bunch of the pumpkin hats this month.❤ I’d love to see if you did crafting vlogs of just lil bits of things your working on or made. Could be a quarterly thing to keep the tube happy lol.
OOOOh that is a good idea. Not sure if most people would find that interesting - I used to put tiny short vlogs/life updates before my patterns and I think that annoyed people Hahahhah
@@TwinkieChanTVI liked the update videos and when ya’ll had little crafting parties. Most people do updates on tik tok rather than RUclips, but I don’t care for short form content.
@@saskia105 You make an interesting point! I do find that when I chat w/ people here on RUclips it's rare that they are also following me on other social.
in love with this pattern. its adorable! i just started crocheting a few months ago but what about crocheting the second body in front loops only instead of back loops only? would that mess the whole thing up or make a counterpart?
Hi! Thank you! You could definitely try to crochet in the front loops. To me, it's not the same look. It's not quite as ridge-y. But I think other people have done it and like it :).
Doesn't really work as the ridges are then more symmetrical, but they come out quite flat when worked in the front loop. I tried it though and while stitching together i will run through the ridges to make the edges sharper.
U gotta be on the weird side of the internet if u want ur stuff to go viral. Shrimp r hilarious in general but they have never stopped being memed and joked about and popularized. So jusy find those things lots of memes things and ull keep going viral be super duper consistent and find the trends u can be super duper comfortable doing what u love
Hello! Thanks for the tutorial I wanted to make these to sell at my local shrimp festival but saw on your Etsy that the pattern is only for limited sales. I wanted to make at least 150 but I’m not sure if it falls under limited 😅 how many would you allow? Of course with your credit! Thanks again!
I can already see my plan forming 😈 I have to make my best friend this because they get me so many stuffed toys but I don’t have enough money to buy them constantly for them. I’m planning on making this shrimp and one or two jellyfish (because they love those). Hopefully I won’t forget :)
Can you explain better? Like move your hand every once in a while? I've been trying to make this for the past 2 hours and I can't get past the first 10 minutes
Thank you for the new hyperfixation! Now I'm making shrimps for all my friends and family for Christmas.

Pattern pls
