Thank you for making my sweet Haven!

I am Emily, from sunny Queensland! I started crocheting a few years ago, as I needed a hobby that didn't involve a screen! I remember trying to learn how to make a granny square on YouTube, and being so very confused as to why my square only had three sides

Needless to say I have come a long way since then! Haven is my 3rd amigurumi pattern, and only my 4th pattern overall.

My motto is 'follow the joy' so I am always making something cute with my crochet hook, as bringing a little character to life brings me so much joy!

When I had the chance to design something for Pride Month, I had the idea of creating something that could almost be a mascot for the queer community. I eventually landed on a superhero - because I think we need some more magic and safety in our lives.

Haven means 'safety and security' which felt like the perfect name for this cute bear, even if it isn't the most 'superhero-y' name ever!

You will be able to customise the cape with your own pride flag colours, I have included instructions for a few common ones, as well as a 'build-your-own' chart.

Haven's cape requires some colour work, ensure you always change colours in the last stitch of the previous colour or your finished product may not look correct.

I hope you enjoy making your very own superhero bear, please tag me @dreamingpandacreations in your photos so I can see!
