I would like to introduce my very first crochet project! This October, my friend Hannah supplied me with a hook and yarn, and we sat together for three hours on a lovely Saturday morning where she taught me the secrets to crocheting. It took me over two months to actually finish this lovely boy, but I did end up finishing him, and I would like to show him to all of you now. 🙂
Sadly, I do not have any pictures from the beginning of the project, but please enjoy seeing him progress!
October 22, 2022 – Freddy the Bumble had a head and a face! I also whipped out my embroidery skills and introduced Hannah to a new way of sewing a mouth. And I’m very glad it turned out, because it was my first time actually attempting it, haha.What he looked like from the back, prior to receiving any stripes.October 29, 2022 – okay, I’m actually really bad at remembering to take pictures while working on a project, so I don’t have anything from making his stripes. But here, he officially has all his beautiful, bumbly stripes, and now he is stuffed and ready to take shape!October 29, 2022 – taken an hour and a half after the last image. He has a full body!Look at those beautiful stripes.He is a happy bumble.October 29, 2022 – one wing done!

Such a cute design! Perfect for really small Littles to hug on and no dangerous parts to fall off.
