Here are all the mini JJs I’ve made (excluding tiny JJ).
I started to crochet figures in September of 2018, starting with a mini JJ, who had some slight muck-ups with not being too experienced with the black wool.
My next JJ was in November of the same year, giving him better hair, a pipe cleaner moustache, and a removable tie (for his Halloween costume of that year, he was a vampire and I made the little shirt ruffle thing).
April of 2019 introduced “black and white JJ”, an attempt to make a figure of JJ based on his first video appearance. He’s… quite floppy.
Around the latter half of 2019, I discovered that you could put pipe cleaners into the figures and make them poseable! By that time I was on break from jse content, so I never remade JJ.
Flash forward two years to July of 2021: JJ with armature, a hand sewn waistcoat, and a ribbon bow tie! Also, I used chicken wire in the hat and made it more of a bowler hat. No more band around it.
He’s also two rows taller than the other three, and also thinner due to less bulk around the middle. And I crocheted the moustache this time.
The first hat I made (also the best hat) was done by sight, with no pattern, and I haven’t ever been able to replicate it.
As you can see from the other versions (or not because they’re all black) each variant of hat has a different shape, is unable to sit without aid of a pipe cleaner (or sewn on as per September JJ), or is too small on the hat and too big on the brim.
It annoys me so much that I can never make another bowler hat that looks identical to the first one, and I’m kicking my past self for not writing the pattern down.
However, now each JJ has a hat to match their personality.
My skills have improved, only because of practice and the continued support from you guys. As a reward, sometime tomorrow I’ll do a little ego sketch with these four.
