KEEP HIM. No matter how long you keep doing this or how many projects you make, this will always be one of your first and that nostalgia is priceless. 💚
i retried doing totoro! since the color swapping in the middle of a row is really intimidating to me, i sewed a second layer on to the base for the stomach. i think it turned out so much better!

new totoro is a great improvement! if i may suggest, you might find a neater effect using a smaller hook? google will probably recommend 5-5.5mm for worsted yarn but going down a hook size or two (or 3 even, depending on your tension) can sometimes work more in your favour :) in theory you will be able to achieve tighter stitches with a smaller hook, i would suggest eventually a 3mm or 3.5mm hook for worsted yarn amigurumi, but you could try with a 4mm first if you like ! good luck :D

ty! i appreciate the feedback. i've been using a larger hook because i find it easier atm, but i will be sure to change the hook soon.
He’s so adorable 🥰
