I decide to change my strategy, I will record the video every time I crochet, and will only narrate the video if I feel like. I can voice over later on the editing process when I feel like I want to do it only. So this is happening to this tutorial video. With the changing way of thinking, I am finally publishing this tutorial video!!
Let me introduce you the character in this tutorial. Her name is "Tangy". She is an orange/tangerine cat character from the game called 'Animal Crossing'. I came across Animal Crossing New Horizon during the start of the lockdown period, and this game is really hooked me in. It's been a while since the last time I have the urge to crochet something and this game just makes me want to crochet again! I decided to start with Tangy because I have her on my island(in the game) and she has a very simple colour scheme. So I think I should start with her.
This is the actual pattern that I used to crochet her up. I would call it version 1 for cat pattern as I have so many places I want to change the pattern.
MATERIALS:
4 ply worsted weight yarn, I used Thai local brand named "Eagle" which similar to the DK yarn.
3.5mm. or E size hook, I am using Japanese Clover hook.
ABBREVIATION
sc- single crochet
sl- slip stitch
ch- chain
st - stitch

hdc - half double crochet

The pattern is free as the subtitle on the video as always but not going to be showing on this blog anymore. The pdf printed version will be available on Ravelry and Craftsy and a support payment to me. You don't have to pay for this, you can just open the video and follow the pattern through. I will put the time stamp in the comment section so you can easily navigate along with the video.
Because of this pandemic, there is likely a high chance that I cannot work as a Lab demonstrator in the next semester, which means I will have more free time to crochet but less money to spend on food supplies. So if you are happy to purchase the pdf pattern and support me, here are the links ;

The result looks cute on the first grant but when I compare the finished doll with the character in the game, I realise her head is too small. My perfectionist mind is screaming. I really want to fix her but decide to let that away. I can try again with another cat character later.
