Latest noteProgress 100% Date Jan 21, 2024 Project keroppi purse Mood 😊 (my eyes are a bit off centered, whoops lol) love this pattern! it's very easy and beginner friendly, you just have to know how to sew. the end result is super cute and the pattern was easy to read! wonderful pattern! love it! some notes i made while crocheting: panels: -i love the addition of a picture for row 1, very beginner friendly! -i feel like the format could be better for the 20 rows of hdc, the way it is currently is very cluttered. i think it should go "2. ch2, turn, hdc across" and then have the drop down for 18 rows (because of the two previous rows) -i've finished one panel and i love the size of it. i'm using a 4.5 hook instead of the recommended 5, but i really like the size so far panel border: is there supposed to be a certain count of stitches along the sides or does it not matter? eyes: it's unclear if we slip stitch after every row and chain like you would normally do with hdc in the round but i slip stitched as normal and didn't chain any sewing tips: use stitch markers!!! especially when sewing the panels to the strap!
